He (vi r. Kussell) took this opportunity of eongrutuhiti.ig the electors of Oily West on the nomination of a gentleman so well qualified in every respect as Mr. Farmer is to advocate their interests in the Council; and if tluy elected him, they would find that I heir confidence had not been misplaced. H.
