In politics I have but little to say every body able to do co- will register and vote. I do not know that such information is palatable to you, but the truth is this county will go largely in favor of the congressional party - Radical - if you please. We have made arrangements to celebrate the coming "4th" in a regular old time honored fashion barbacue. Declaration, speeches and ball, the whole to be preceded by the hoisting of the "Old Flag" and for this purpose there now lies in front of my office an 80 foot specimen of the Pine Forest. We shall raise it and then send to its top.
"The Flag of the Free, and the Emblem of the brave"
