WAREPA.
(From our own correspondent.) Every one of the candidates has visited us during th« present week. Macandrew arrived on Wednesday, but for some reason or other, drove on without favoring us with an exposition of his views, perhaps he thought it would be labor lost. Time has written s.ime wrinkles on his brow since I last saw him, and lie is much greyer and stouter. Thomson's speech was an echo of what he uttered at the Ferrj. lie is popular in this quarter, and will carry a good many votes. Richardson is a 3 7 oung politician, but gives promise of being one day a speaker of very respectable power. Free of that bombast and bounce which too often is swallowed for eloquence, his manner is qniet, earnest, and gentlemanly, and he does not appear to wish to make his hearers V el icvo that if returned he will work miracles. In this he displays good sense, and, what is better in the estimation of some persons, good principle. The last few days have improved the appearance of the grain crops, but grass and turnips are much in need of rain.
