ROM The
We have the satisfaction this week of an
nouncing G. P. r. WILSON, Esq, as a can
didate for Congress in this District. MIR.
WILSON has represented this county forsev-
eral wears in the State Legislature, where he
won for himselfthe enviable distinction ofan
able, efficient, honest and industrious public
servant. That he will maintain this charac-
ter, ifelected to Congress, we have no doubt.
He is a native O fthis county, (Harrlson,1 we
believe, and having been all his lite a cltI-
zen of this section of the State, his interest
is identified with that of the peoples. we
are aware that he has nothad the advantages
! that wealth and education has conferred up
on his opponent, and although an humble
tiller of the soil, we are mistaken if he IS moi
found able TO cope with Mr.. Owen upon all
public questions that will be agitated during
the canvass. But, Mr.. Wilson will give the
people an opportunity of hearing him from
the stump, previous 10 the election, and they
can then Judge of bis fitness and ability &c
represent them in Congress.
MI. Wilson will receive more than the
/ Wing vote in this end of the district, and D
our friends in the pocket are only vlgilan'
and active, we think Mr.. Owen will be re.
lieved of the trouble of serving a second
term Let our motto from this until the cleo
ton be-"work-woRK-WORKG' and vic,
tory will certainly crown our efforts. lie
us off with our coats at once and commence
the task of redeeming the district. On
principles must prevail, if the people wish tc
enjoy peace and prosperity. In such q
cause who will faulter?
MIR. Wilson was in town a day or 1--WE
since, and we understand It is his lnleHtlon tC
start IN a few days on a tour through the
district. He does not seem to consider i
necessary to address his fellow citizens thro
a circular, but will address them in every
neighborhood from the stump.
1t is, and should be, the objectofthe Wing
party, to put forward in this contest thei
strongest man; and our sole object has been
since the matter has been canvasSed in thin
district, to ascertain cko is the strongest man
and we now FEEL CONFIDENT, from the nj
merous evidences before US, received from
almost every county in the district within th'
last ten days, that JUDGE ELISHA EMBREE i
that man. And we have no doubt but tn
Judge can be induced 10 take the field
We learn that his private affairs are in sucI
a situation that he can leave them with a yer
slight sacrifice; and further, let the matte
terminate which way it may, he will not b
a candidate again for Judge in this circuit
The numeroue calls thai are daily made up
on him TO become a candidate for Congress
in opposition to Mr.. Owen, cannot fail Il
bring him before the people, and with hin
we shall have no fear of the result. We hav
the assurance of our contemporary of tn
Gazette that ano man would be more accep
able to the Wings in that end of the distric
than Judge Embree," and that ssthere wi
E not be a dissenting voice" TO his taking th
field. We have written to the Judge, an
hope TO be able in our next number 10 stat
decisively 10 those who are daily queslionin
US, whether he will consent to run. Shout
he answer in the affirmative, without doul
an arrangement can be made between hil
and Mr.. WILSON which will be satisfactory
both parties.
