More over, both defeats were incurred in com. mercial questions. Van Buren was beaten as a result of the panic of 1837, from the effects of which the country had not recovered at the close of his administration, ENR Tue second annual report of the State Board of Health and Vital Statistics of the Commonwealth for 1866 has just been issued from the press of the State printer.

He is entitled to it, (in his opinion,) because he is in the habit of taking straight-out Republicans up to the window te vole them, and then boasts how many votes he secured for the ticket. Nothing in it, Malin: vou can’t reach it. Malin is backed by a promise, Cyrus Strickland comes forward, Cy rus is a good eitizen, a brave soldier and a Republican of good faithful service, but he won't master. Cyrus is backed by Bill Lyons.
