This Samuel Sturgeon is an honest and respect.

"simple history of real feats." He swears 'by the

What an astounding picture of the conduct of a '
man who seeks to govern a Free People. What

This poor man sought to obtain of this lordly can

of last year's arrearspe, oainq• to the
pressure of the times—in consequence of
which we are sorry to state, that we our
selves are now pressed, Ato that we are
under the necessity of requesting all in

room, if be would get him a bet of $lOOO
on Joseph Ritner. A Ritner Man, pre-,
