Markey, of Ojreniaw. is be ng boomed for congress In the lOth conorressiimal distiict, now represented by Mr Fisher. Mr. Markey commenced his ca reer in this section of country, and wi now look upon liim wilh a sort of pa rental pride. Tlie republicana of tha district could not bitter themselves, aiu with so alile a leudar tliey ought to re deern the district. Should Mr. Markey be elected be would make an rzoellenl M.
