As il is cusiomary, in fashionable
ciiclen, in announce the mnvemeuis ol
distinguished men, we must not until to
mention, that Col. V. Bkst, whilom
of Ilairisburg, has got back again lo
Danville. The last we heard of our ub
iquitous friend., lie was whilmg away
his leisure moments in charging our
paper with a'want of influencea specie
of ciime lo which the legislature has
not yet, to our k owledgo, affixed a
penalty. The infereiirp; as a mailer of
course, is; that our accujei's influence'
is unlimited. This was well tested at
the last October election, when every
Iricnl candidate, who had iho benefit of
his suppoti, from Congress down to
Auditor, was handsomely defeated!
If Mynheer, the Colonel, 'should exer
cise his tremendous influence' a year
ir Iwo longer, the seal of justice will be
removed to "JSoom," for cedain.
