The Candidate for CONGRESS-.

WHERE SHALL HE COME FROM 1--WE find
Mr. RlcAUD, ofthe State Senate, nominated
III the 'kent News" as the candidate for
Congress from this district. Did we think
the good people Of Kent would urge their
claims, we should enter Our protest; but
taking into consideration their modcsty as
politicians, and the back,cardaess of their
character in insisting upon office, we do
not deem the matter worthy of such ser-
Gus attention. Kent is ':nicc' little
county. and notwithstanding she had her
man in the last congress, and has Just had
u. S, Senator chosen from amongst her
citizens, and that Mr. Rcaud is now hol-
ding an excellent office, we would 90 for
her having the Congressman this time
too, cid we not think the interest of The
party demanded otherwise. We
give her credit for her consistency to her
prinCiples-hcr wings have scarcely ever
evinccd The "shadow of turning" and they
are to be depended upon whether she has
the candidate ornot.
The wings of Cecil county all the time
sacrifice personal preferences for the gen.
eral good of their party-they enter every
contest with spirit, and battle with zeal
and determination seldom equalled, look
ing only for their reward, to the success
orthcr principles. Believing it mror,an,
to the realization of that success in the e.
lection so close at hand, that the candi-
date should be taken from amongst them,
they are induced to Sc, up Meu claim-a
claim which under tie circumstances
shall no. be easily relinquished. They
say nothing about the length of time
since they had candidatc---thal is mi

that they poll more votes than any Of the
others, (many more than twice as many

[CoMMuNICATED
TIE CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS

Mn. EDlroR.-The selection ola suitable can
didatc to represent this Congressional District in
the National House of Representatives, is be-
ginning to engage the attention of the people.
The general impression throughout the county,
is, that our ella i'm to having the candidate is as
strong as, not stronger than, that Of any other
county n the district.
In looking around among our citizens for a
man who possesses ability, popularity, and ac-
uvity as a wing. my eye naturally rests upon
JAMES II. LAMAR, ESQ. That his talents
are Of high ordcr-that his personal popularity
is immense, and that his unliring activity as a
worhjng party man, has tended greatly to adj
vance the wing cause in the county, no one will
cali in question. With him as the Candidate the
wings otCecl will rally as cone strong man, y and
render their defeat impossible.
take pleasure in introducing him TO the con-
sidcraton Of the Wings of the counties of the
district, as a gentleman well able, and every way
worthy to represent them, and as a candipotc
who cannot be defeated because of his strong
hold upon the affections of THE PEOPLE.

We learn from the newspapers that Mr..
Clay IN his route from the South will pass
up our peninsula to this city. Nothing
would be more gratifying to the citizens of
Delaware than to look upon him and to
give his hand shake. He is admired and
loved IN no state more than by the wings
of Delaware.
We find the above paragraph in the Del

will pass our town on his rou,-he has
as firm friends here, as in Delaware,
whose wings are not surpassed by any in

Disirjcting The Statc.-We gave last week the
districts as proposed by the bill reported by the
committee appointed TO divide the state, and
which is now before the legislature. A portion
of the locofocos are railing against it, on account
of its alleged unfarncss to their party but in our
opinion the "boot is on 'tother leg" We did
not look for such division. 1t gives the Wings
two members certain, and the locos, two GER
tain, and leaves the other two TO the party that
battles strongest, and if there is any advantage
the locos have it.
the locos had had both houses last winter
hey would have so distrctcd the state, as to
have ensured them four Misunderstanding the
wings two In these matters we 90 for the ler
taliones Without violating any moral or civil
obligation, our legislature this winter, could
have so formed the districts, as to have given us
four members certain, and al the same time have
divided the population more equally. And this
they should have done. The ocos themselves
will give them no thanks for not doing it They
will be laughed at and sneered at, from one end
of the country to the other, by all parties, for
not exercising their power. Believing their
principles to be true they should have used the
lawful means in their hands to advance and per-
peuate them.

follows in 40 and Al from which it will be seen
