There have been several suggestions made through
The papers IL who would bc the person best calcu
lated unite The forces Of the Democratic Party III the
District, rs a candidate fill the vacancy occasoned
by the resignation Of distinguished fellow citizen,
VIM Smith. To those gentlemen whose names have
been suggested, have 10 nvidlou objections 10 make.
They all worthy men, OF good talents aud sonnd po-
ltcal principles. Mcssrs. John Willis and J. l. llll,
are ycung men ofgood habits, sound political principles,
and Of hug. order Of talents. The time viii doubtless
arrive when the people Of this District will be pleased 10
have their services the councils Of the State. But
respectfully suggest that they both too young To
Mr !ii, there are doubles feelings Of sectional ma
ture existing against him-arisng ont Of the unioru
nate contest that has been raging "r several years III hs
county. Mr.. Willis is By sufficiently well
known in tie District, and whilst lie is quite plea
SAINT Young man, lie has mol that art of catching the
III stranger at the first bush which would 5e m
dsprrsabe IL his These are the only gentlemen
whose names have seen suggested IN The papers
know no man IN The District that vii consent TO be
candidate II indeed there are any ALL who wond he so
we'll calculated TO unite forces rs Powell HILL Esq
II Culpeper. He is man Of much experience, iime
Judgment, wrll known to the people Of the District,
beloved and respected by all who know hun, OF firm
and well tried political principles, after the true Demo
cratic stamp, aud last though moi least, man of bu-
sifcss UnIln npon smch man must ensure success |
10 our cause As there is candidate in the field ri |
this time, ara instructed by many voters 10 sag that
unless convention should be held, poll will be open
ed for him, and though this dec!araonds made with
out any previous authority from or consultation with
him. Oor he has not been the district as understand
for several weeks,) confidently hoped That he will
BE- wiling as he has manifested himself 10 be, to
submit 10 the wsh Of The people. Whilst tins annun-
CATION is made il i al the time earnestly recon-
me nded and desired that convention may bc held Tor
the purpose utnoninaiing candidate For by gene
raj consultation in Convention will De much better
qualified 10 ascertain the strongest man III the District
than by separate consultations among ourselves in dii
arcnt parts of the District And If any other person
than MIR p Hill should be selected by the Convention,
none will more heartily support INN than The writer
Of this, and those with whom he has consulted Our |
object get the strongest man Of our party III the
field independent Of any private partiay or prejudice
whatever Now is not the time if indeed il ever IS,
to seek the qualification Of private feelings in political
matters Let US lay aside al personal feelings and
look alone to the great interests Of country Let
rs sacrifice all selfish notions upon the altar Of oar
country good. Let unite ourselves like true and
manly patriots in struggle for the pcrpetui-
Is Of the principles Of Republican fathers, and for
the establishment Of TINT perfect equality Of Rights
among men, which is alone compatible with the spirit
and genius Of free people. MACON.
