SEVENTEENTH CONGRESSIONAL
DISTRICT.
The Steubenvlllo Herald and the Car.
roll Free Press are specializing to some
extent as TO the probable complexion of
this congressional district. They prom.
ise well, and we only hope their expec,a
tions may be fully realized. The last
Free Press contains the following:
"Carroll, Jefferson, and Columbiana
form the 18th Congressional District
1t seems TO strike US, after all, If the
Wings get up the right sort of a man
one who will unite all tho opposition to
Locofoism in this district-they will rout
the BarnbarneyS and Anti bank Lokies,
horse, foot ana dragons. We can at
least try"
Our good friend Pearce expresses our
opinion 10 perfection. Notwithstanding
benighIed Columbiana will not do much
towards such favorable result, yet,
when the proper time arrives, he will
find that we will at least try. Unuring
perseverance and ceaseIess energy will
accomplish any task, no matter how
great. Why, then, may not the 17ih
Congressional district be represented by
the right sort of mani This is an age
OF wonders, and who knows but that Co
lumblana may come out Of the contest
right side up2 There will be but little
difficulty we conceive, in "geting up the
right sort Of a man" There is plenty
oI timber in each Of the three counties
composing this district. Without pre-
tending to specify, or desiring tn ex press
preference, we can point to our friend
Pearce himself, as gentleman every
way qualified for the office, and can say
truly, that it would afford US as much ga.
tisIacIion TO vote for him, as for any 9th.
er gentleman in the district. Jefferson
also has an abundance of timber! We
might name Gen. Stokley, Judge Wilson
ard Col. Collier. Columbana can also
turn out James Mason, Leonard Hanna,
and others. We apprehend that but one
election will be held under the present
distrlCing bill, bu, that is no reason why
there should not be perfect organiza-
tion ofthe Wing forces Of the three coun.
ties.

TO say that if nominated, he would not

We noticed the foregoing article in the
Palladium, upon which Judge Wilson
comments, about the time it appeared;
and Got strong inclination TO respond 10
it, in our editorial capacity. But some.
thing (perhaps it was modesty, end per.
haps it wasn'O seemed at that time to
forbid response on our part, Now,
however, Judge Wilson having led the
way, we can venture to thank our wor.

desire not TO be candidate for the re,

time we take occasion TO assure our bre.
ihren Of the Wing press in this district,
that Carroll can furnish several true and
good Wings, who are in all respects
qualified to represent the people in Con

of some of them will be announced in
