lowing are the candidates for Congress
in this State:

goole, (Lsco,) is without an opponent,
and will be reelected.

way is the Locofoco candidate, 10 place
Of Walter Coles, who withdraws. He is
as yet without an opponent, though we
hope the Wings of the district will not
permit him to walk over the course.
Campbell District. John Hill is the
Wing candidate in opposition 10 E, W.
Hubbard, (Loco, the late incumbent, with
fair prospects of success. If the Wings
will turn out, we have no doubt Of his
election.
Am DiStrict.-Wm. L. Goggin. the
late member, withdraws. Jos. K. Irving,
(Whig,) and Shelton F. Leake, (Loco,)

close and doubtful, though we have strong
hopes OF lrving's election.

full, but chances in favor of Newton.

fusion is worse confounded. Charles
Hunton, who was nominated by the To-
