The time for holding the
election for the National Legislature being
near at hand, it becomes necessary for
the people of the district of which Cecil
county is part to select an individual OF
suitable qualifications as a candidate for
their suifrages. Amongst the gentlemen
named for this important station, probab-
y no one has stronger claims to the favor
of the community than Or. JACOB A.
PRESTON, of Hartford county. Possessing
talents of more than ordinary character.
extensive influence, and ardent zeal in Tie
promotion of the welfare Of the country,
he is peculiarly qualified to discharge the
duties devoIving upon representation OF
the patriotic State of Maryland, in the
na'iona. councils. Long and nobIy has
he contended for the principles advocated
by lie wings of our state, and of the
whole Union, and during the last Presi,
dental election, holding the responsible
eliice Of elector, his tnlc and talents were
devoted successfully to the important
work assigned to HMM otwih aiding
the large amount of services rendered to
the community, and 10 the party of which
he is so distinguished and faithful MEM
Der, he has never pressed his claims to
public favor, and now that we have an OPP
porluniiy of increasing his sphere of use

some measure for his undertaking attach

tending, it would be we'll for the wings o!

ANOTHER REJECTION.

The Senate went into Executive Session
on Wednesday and we learn that the Presi-
dents nomination of Isaac Hill, of New
Hampshire, to be Chief of the Burau of
Provisions and Clothing for the Navy, was
rejected. We are glad of it. 1t is not
necessary for us to portray the character
of Isaac Hill, the Ex-Governor of New
Hampshire, and the present editor of the

medium of your columns, to bring to the notice
ofthe Wing Convention which will assemble at
Elkton, on the 30th inst, the name of MAJOR
EDWARD WILSON, as a suitable cand-
date TO represent the 9TH Congressional District
Of Nd, in the present Congress.
Major Wilson, is well and favourably known
to many of the voters in the District as having
been gallant and deserving officer in the late
War with Great Britain; and ever since, as an
honest and active Wing, always at his post, ready
to battle in the good cause and make any and
every sacrifice for the benefit Of his party.
His mental faculties are naturally strong
his Judgement superior to most mems; he can not
only form correct opinions on most subjects, but;
has the ability as well as the courage TO express
them whenever and wherever it may be nece1-
saiy.
If the convention should think proper to seIec:
him, his great and deserved popularity have no
doubt, would enable him TO be elected with ease,
at all events he would make powerful poll in
