of this county, the name of JOHN B. HEL

active and steadfast democrats in the Coun

select a candidate for Congress, nud as it is
highly important that the gentleman select
ed should be well qualified for an office in
which we all feel so deeply interested, nnd
upon which in n great measure, the success
of the democratic paity must depend. Per

IVwarl's qualifications are too well known
lo need any commendation fiom us. He
has always been a firm and consistaril demo

charactei is above repioach, and his strict
integrity and amiable disposition lias en
deared him to nil who have had the good
fortune to become acquainted with him.
Ilia nomination would greatly add to tho

Ol'R NEXT LEGISLATOR.
Mr. Editor : As the lime is approaching
for the people to select a candidate for Legis
lature of this county, we would beg leave to
present before them, the name of JOHN
FARNSWORTH Esq., of Upper Augusta
township.
Mr. Farnsworth is a man of intelligence!
of unimpeachable integrity, and of fixed prin
ciple. He is such a man as we would hav
represent our county. For a number of years,
he has been Piothouoiary of this county, and
has (we believe) given entire satisfaction to
all. For Legislature we want a man of
sound reason, discrimination, and firmness.
Such a man is Mr. Farnsworth, and in all the
requisites for that office, we confidentially
assert that he is competent to perform the
duties incumbent upon said office.
He has always been a sound, unwavering
and consistent demociat, and if nominated
Northumberland county would (we think)
show her appreciation of him by giving him
the largest majority webavo rolled up for any
man for years.
