To The Democratic Totrrs of The Congressional Dis
frict composed Of the Counties Of Spoitsdranta,
Grunge, Greene, Madison, Cuipcper and Rdppahan
mock.
1t seems to be preyswe understood; that we are TO
have TWO Democratic candidates in this District for
Congress at the next spring election. The evils that
NAV result from such state OF things, must readily
present themselves to every rejecting mind. The
gentlemen who are expected TO be the Democratic can
d.dates, are Col Linn Banks Of Madison, and William
Smith, Esq, Of Cupeper. These gentlemen, IS he
iieyed will divide the votes Of the Democratic party
almost equally. If this should be So and Wing
candidate comes out, lie will certainly be elected,
not because there minority of Wings in the dis
trct; for the Democratic majority is at least o0a but
because our party will be unnecessarily and unwisely
div ded 1t may be true, that some leading Wings
have pledged themselves not to bring out candidate
These gentlemen may be true to their promises, far
as their action may be concerned but It Will not
be questioned that there other Wings who have
right to think in this NATTER and thinking differently
las they probably will may determine 10 act different
w. May not some Wing become candidate without
the solicitations Of these prominent Wings who are
thus pledged not to organize opposition: Ii there
should be Wing candidate in the field, We may cal.
culae to certainty his receiving the Wing vote of
the district, and, with two candidates before the
people, of his election. Would not this be shame
upon our party Would it not be unwse in the high
est degree by such unnecessary schism to permit
ourselves be grossly msrepresented in Congress- at
so important period in our political history:
From these considerations it would seem much bet
ter TO settle this family jar at IL seems to me
the most advisable mode of doing this would be TO call
Convention, to be held at some suitable place within
the District. If party will unite upon this plan,
il must efecually settle the difficulty Neither Of the
gentlemen spoken of would, presume, undertake to
act in opposton to the wishes of the party fairly
pressed in properly organized Convention. Ii he
did, it would manifest such spirit OF selfshness,
such want Of true devotion TO the principles Of the
party, such contempt for the will of majority, as
would deserve, and doubtless receive the strongest
censure of the Democratic party lie would be una
BILE to do much injury TO the cause.
