I way be pronounced out of danger she will probably be allowed to go out on bail at ; once. Much sympathy is manifested for her in all quarters, and we have under* i stood that any amount of bail could be I made up for her immediately. , To the Voters of the Second Judicial District. The undersigned has the honor to inform S bhs fellow-citizens of the Second Judicial District that lie has declined further can vassing for^t he office of District Attor ! ney. Among other reasons which have promp ted him to this step, he need merely men tion the necessity, should he be elected, of his violating engagements entered into between himself and certain clients which peculiarity of circumstances require his fulfilling, and that his acceptance of an offer of partnership by an old and valued friend, would render the performance of the | duties of the office to the end of the term, ) almost impracticable. He expects that Elias Sofford, Jr. Esq. of Lancaster, N. Y. who will remove to this State in the fall, | will with himself engage in a line of prac J tice incompatible with the strict perform S ance of the District Attorneyship during the whole term, as it will interfere both with the Chancery Court atMonticclIo and the Federal Court at Jackson. Feeling it his duty not to accept an of fice which he could retain only a portion of the term, nor to remain a candidate, so long that his friends might not be able to discriminate satisfactorily, as to the gen tleman best suiting them among those who still remain in the field; he thus early an nounces his dernier intention. lie takes this method of returning his ■ f VmriL c tn lit* ntimrrniio fYiiarwlu nnrl enn_ porters of all parlies for their kind and lib eral advocacy of his pretentions. He can assure them that it has not been thrown away but sown upon good ground; it wil* I rise and bloom and bear them the swee1 fruit of gratitude, so long as there is any thing earthly left of their friend. * A. 13.
