the strength of our electoral t i oket. Re is
known In all parts of the dietricti and it le
almost needless to add, that he -is Universally
esteemed. In his capacity as Presiding Judge
of our Courts, he won the reputatihn of an

every particular he comes up to thip standard
that should be required of a candidate for so I
exalted a station.
The Representative delegates from this Is
trios to the Chicago Convention are Wm. A.
Galbraith, Esq., of this city; end Ho Wm.
A. Wallace, of Clearfield county. The fpraier
is too well known to our readers to require
any extended illusion to his merits. It is
sufficient to say, that the unanimous senti
ment of the Democrats of the distri4 has
long pointed to him as their desired represen- '
tative in that body, and this not through any
effort on his part, but solely by that common
feeling of our Natures which causes us to
wish to be represented in important bodies
by one of our ablest and most trusty leaders.
The flattering vote which Mr. Galbraith re
ceived for -Senatorial delegate in the State
Convention is evidence enough that the peo
ple of his own locality are not alone in, enter
taining* high opinion of his character. Mr.
Wallace is not so familiar to the people of Erie
county, bat we assure', them that he -is a man
of whom they will never have cause to be
ashamed. He is still quite young, but in the
debates which have taken place is the State
Senate, of which he Is a member, he has
given proofs of talent excelled. by few mem
bers of that body. At home, in Clearfield
county, he is extremely iopular,t and his
friends predict for hint a distinguished carter
as a statesman and orator.
With 1 men like Galbraith and Wallace at
Chicago, the Democrats of the Twenty-First
district, will be represented quite as well, to
say the least, as any other In the State.
