Dear Sir: The usual paint, lead and oil is made more durable by the addition of zinc; as the more intelligent painters know. Lead and oil," they say, lasts three years. Add zinc, and it lasts three years with a margin, they say; but painters generally advise to paint once in three years. Devoe lead and zinc is nothing but lead zinc color dryer and oil; but it lasts aljont twice as long as painters reckon. Mr. Knox, an undertaker for fifty years at Brewster. N. Y., painted Devoe nine years ago. The paint is said to be in about as good condition as when it was first put on. Lead and oil don't last nine years. Yours truly. 62 F. W. DEVOE & Co. P.

It appears in the UNION- PARTY column, ami also in tbe DKMOCRATIC column. 1 frankly ask your influence and vote at the POLLS on the sth day of Nov . next. My course needs no explanation. You are doubtless well aware of the manner of my defeat at the Primaries. Juue Ist. last, and the ignoring of my petition for appointment, to said office, after the death of the late \V. P Tur ner. Esq . although I had the next high est vote and was clearly entitled to the appointment according to previous usage. The NEW BOSSES openly l>oast of the unfair means employed to defeat me They publicly proclaim that MY defeat is only the beginning of a movement, agreed upon by them, to dictate all nominations hereaf'er, and to fill the COURT HOUSE OFFICES, and all others in the connty with men that they can control absolutely, and for their person al advantage. The organization should be used only in the interest of candidates AFTER the Primaries, and not BEFORE nor AT the Primaries. The office of Clerk of Courts is an important one. and if elected I will cou duct the office to the very best of my ability, and in the interest of the people to whom alone I shall hold myself re sponsible.
