3 CoJrFH. BY reference to his announc
!. mcnt ID another column Of our paPer,i
o will be seen that this gentleman has e
! clared himselfa candidate for Congressir
opposition to Jefferson Davis, Esq, VIZ
was nominated by the Democratic St4s
Convention for that Office, from this sectbr
Of the State. In justice to Mr.. Valenthe
we will quote the following remarks frqr
his address, explaining why he has assuh-
ed his present attitude before the public.
"The manifest dissatisfaction of the d.
mocracy of the southwestern division 1f
the State, in having placed, as oar cand-
date upon the congressional ticket, an ind
vidual directly opposed to us upon the orig.
nal BRUscoE BILL, the vital principle at X
sue, has induced me to present myself be
fore you as candidate for representative
in congress, at the approaching election
We have read with care Mr.. Valentine 4
able address, and will remark that we most
cordially agree with him in every position
he has taken in reference to the Importance
of enforcing the common law providing for
the punishment of corporations which have
OVERSIGHT the bounds of their authority
We agree with him that now is the time
for the people to take the matter in their
own hands, and punish with the utmost Sc
verify those institutions which though soul.
less and corrupt have been the recipients
of more favors than the people whom they
have robbed and imposed upon-we be-
lieve with him, there is remedy against
such abuses, and that remedy should be
speedily and Effectively applied, We fur
Their admire the candor and independent
tone of his address; but we cannot coin
eide with him, in the propriety of his now
becoming candidate for Congress. The
Briscoe Bill is question of State policy,
disconnected entirely from national politics,
and there is no necessity of agitating it
with reference to the candidates for Con-
gress.
The democratic party without dissent
ing voice SOAR as we know, agreed to abide
BY the decision of the State Convention,
provided candidates were nominated sound
lpon all questions of national policy--and
We in common with the democratic papers
the State appreciated its action
oy hosting the names Of all the nominees,
ind have urged their claims for the support |
# the people. Were we now to advocate
he pletentions of the gentleman who has c
'ecently avowed himself an independent S
candidate for Congress in opposition to one t
# the regular nominees, we would be gull. e
Y Of violating pledge we made botI be. a
ore and after the meeting o, the Comen- Il
ion, to abide by its decision-we would
'e guilty of palPable inconsistency in with. Il
lraWlng our support from one whom we a
lad warmly recommended as every way tc
worthy the high honor conferred upon him b
Cten no netO facts in reference to his opin- o.
onS hare been deoeIoped-we would be st
utility of using our energy, however feeble, al
prevent the complete triumph of our tick tn
t at. a crisis which demands full reure. of
entation of the southern democracy in our oc
ext Congress, and we would be assisting SC
what we have hitherto positively con. tn
emned-disturbing the peace, the harmo- til
Y and the union of the democratic party. T
1e cannot therefore favor the claims Of w
II. Valentine to a seat in Congress, and er
Ell it our duty with due difference to his sh
Pacity and his honesty of purpose, to dis. pa
'prove and condemn his course in toto. m
