Hon. samuel Pascu, noted for his

in the senate, yet ia the collection Of

In the lover house Davidson served
fourteen years, and WAS succeeded by |
Mallory, Bistee, Finley. Bullock, |
Cooper, ETC., and all failed.

A few years ago We sent jacksonville rner-
chant named Tala1erro 20 the senate man
who cannot make a hurTah speech II he should /,
try and who has sense enough not to try He
has not been there long but he has done a 7.
greater thing for his state than any other man
we have ever sent 10 represent Us. Rv some
Chance, or some act Of shrewd Judgment he 4
got our Indian war claim Of aged memory
tackled on % bill which had plenty Of friends .

dollars will soon be ours. 7 suppose that NJ
Taliaferro has never had more persistent and 4
consistent factioual opponent than this writer
and ] thought that We made q poor selection 1
IN senator but am ready 20 admit that I 4
was wrong. We Judge men IN this life bv what !
they accomplish The senator has made a for I
tune IN private life and great success in his pub.

way. In common with all our thinking citizens /
am ready with my little word of coTnlueuda- I

wants 20 know any thing about anything that !
know anything about and 10 j. proper that I 4
should impart the Information ne will not have
