! This however ! think is by no mean
probable. Ii those who are opposes
to Gen. McCarty's election will act ii
concert, he cannot be elected.
Such being the situation Of affairs, j
becomes matter of some consequence,
for the National Republicans to deter
mine which of the two individuals, Mr.
Rariden, or Mr.. Smith it is their IN
tercst to support. In relation to thi
matter will make few remarks, tn.
truth Of which ! submit to the candle
consideration ofthe people. It's wei
known to all. that Mr.. Smith from hi
long acquaintance among the people
of this district, his high standing as {
Lawyer, his industrious and persery
ing habits, and from two years active
service as a member Of Congress, en-
joys in high degree the confidence
and esteem ofthe people. And wher
we reflect too that for n number oil
years he has taken the most decided
and active course to sustain the Ma
|tiona! Republican cause, and that the
bitterness Of feeling manifested TO-
wards him by many Of the supporters
of Gen. jackson, was occasioned by
his efforts to sustain that cause, who
can doubt for moment, that the
friends Of that cause will unite Oh him
more readily than upon any other in
dividual? And indeed ] would ask
whether it would be right, that he
should be permitted by the friends OF
ar. Clay to suffer for his very zeal in
their behalf
Attempts will doubtless be made to
excite local feeling in favour Of Mr..
Rariden, and to induce the people Of
Wayne to support him on the ground
ofhis being a citizen Of the county. /
think however that a moments reflec-
ton will satisfy any individual that a
question Of this kind should have no in
fuence upon him IN giving his vote.
II is not likely that there will be pre-
sented t. the next Congress any local
question involving the interest Of the
people Of this county, more than Of 9TH
ers in the district. The question upon
which our Representative will be cak
led to act, will be such as must be i'm
Portant to the people 10 every part of
the country. And evensupposing that
the local interests Of the county OF
Wayne should be involved in some
question which may be presented to
the next Congress; we have every rea-
son to believe that Mr.. Smith would
adhere to our interests with rs much
integrity and as much 6rmness as Mr..
Rariden would. 1t will be recollect-
ed that when MIR. Smith was in Con-
gress before, the National road, which
now runs through our county, was not
permanently located, and yet he al
though a citizen Of the county Of Fay
cite, used every exertion to have it
cut out and opened OH its present loca-
ton. 1.-The would have been govern
ed by local feelings, why did he not at
that time endeavour to have its loca-
lion changed SO to carry it through his
Owl. county! The reason is obvious.
Because he wished 10 discharge his
duty to the public impartially without
regard to sectional feeling. Alter
there that it must be appa-
rent to every individual who is acquain-
ted throughout the district, that Mr..
has no prospect Of success;
and that the question must be alone
between Mr.. Smith and Gen. McCar-
y. would say to those who arc op-
posed to Gen. McCarty's election, that
by concentrating your efforts on one in
lividual you may elect a man whose
views and principles coincide with
your own. and who will represent your
true wishes.
These remarks arc made from mol
nnkind feeling towards Mr.. Rariden,
whom ! respect and esteem, but from
4 consciousness that at this time it isl
for him to succeed, and that
his friends are hazsrd,ng his and their
own interests by attempting to elect
him at this time. The present are
times when every friend TO his country
should speak fearlessly and indcpen-'
IDENTIFY and the people should look we'll
10 their interests. p
