Since writing you last, It has pleased the Almighty to take from among us, our friend, aeIghhor. and fellow-citiZen, Thomas Me Carroll. It would be worse than useless for me to attempt to write an eulogy upon the life and character of our departed Sheriff ! oa all knew him He had been a resident of this county for upwards of thirty years. His honesty and goodness of heart are known to all But he has gone to that .t bourne from whence no traveller returns Peace be unto him.

 The death of our friend renders it neees- sarv for the Democrats to look around and select suitable and fit person to fill the va cancy. The Democratic Convention of the Sth, nominated Wm J. Hudson for the office of Sheriff, at the next October election. Will he run to fiji the vacaneys Or shall there be another selected Will any prominent Democrat consent to fill the vacancy, and then give the field to Mr. Hudson, at the Oc- tober election' If so, who is he Let him come out. If not, let Mr. Hudson take the field. am not particular about IL myself, so we get true-grtt Democrat, and one that IS capable to discharge the duties Of the office Democrats, be up and doing, and let there be harmony and good feeling in all that Is done. ReeolIect that the wings are united to man. RecolIect toe that Judge H. has got off the fence at last, and will doubtless take tew dtsgfected Democrats to the Whig party Recollect that the Whig County Con- ventIen comes off on the 22d February next, when they will have their whole phalanx ready for action and their strongest men i'll the heid. i ou see no strife-no discord in their ranks. Then why will Democrats be so foolish as to split and divide their forces. about mens Union in the support of one set ot candidates for the county IS now the almost universal determination of the De- mocratic party. It ought to be quite univer- sal. Why Is It not. Some think they have been personally ilI-treated, because others have besn selected for preferment to them selves, < and revolt at political association with those who, they suppose, have wronged them- Is this 2 good reason for refusing to act with the Democratic party: Suppose. brother Democrat, you have been nnIustlv, cruelty, and ungratefully treated by other Demoeratsi suppose they have slandered and vliiiaed you, and attempted to drive you out ot the Party-iriH yoa go riH you do the rerg hing hey desirs P'' God forbid.-
