The Wings Of tins district, being hard run for oh-c
tons ngainst Colonel HUBBARD, the late member Of Con-
rress who is now candidate for re election, are
comp planning through the Richmond Wing that he is
amighty rich" DO the Wings wish by this complaint
To excite the poor people against him! Unless this is
their motive and their wish, why have they said any
thing about his fortune, IL is true, that Col Hubard
inherited considerable property, and being Of
and Of business, lie has increased and im
proved his fortune. From al! accounts, he has very
lew equals planter and farmer lie never rode as
deputy sheriff, and he never was paper shaver
usurer if lie had been, then perhaps the Editor of the
Wing and some of his friends would have thought Col
Hubbard q marveously proper man. Some men become
paper shavers, Cypress some, and rum many others
make fortunes Of lhem-turn politicians and then
profess great love for the dear people, after having
eeced them thoroughly. Now, Col. Hubbard is not one

As TO his political opinions, they are well known,
and scarcely any thing necessary 10 be said. He is
pledged in favor OF the candidates who will be nomi-
mated for the Presidency and Vice Presidency by the
National Convention. He is opposed to Internal I'm.

millions of dollars for the construction of rail
road from the Tennessee line to New River. The bill
was lost but no thanks to Mr. Toler who voted for its

about the little spotted pig, who about SO much
that he could not be counied but hope Mr.. Toler is
not in that condition. He will get very good vote,
but cannot be elected, even when backed by all
of his Wing townsmen of Lynchburg, and pulled by
wholesale throughout The District by his ADMIRERS who
with him say, that tariff cheapens goods the con.
sumner. Still they admit, that they only desire ju-
dicious tariff, sufficient to deray the expenses of the
Government economically administered. But, Mr..
1oler says "if udicous Tariff say Of one per cent
cheapens the article to the consumer, then, surely
tariff of two three, ten per cent would be far more
iudcious and economical" Truly this discovery is a
new thing under the $50 much for Whiggery!'
