We trust there IL not Wing from the Aroos-
took to the Sabine I'VE won't answer for Texas
Whigsl wbo il be has not heard will not hear with
q thrill Of sxultaton that JOIN NJ. Boris has been
returned to Congress from Virginia We doubt
whether there is one among Us, short Of Harry
Clay himself whose personal triumph would cause
Q wider or deeper satisfaction. Not that Mr.. Bolts
y deemed wiser, greater better than many another
Wing Member elect of Congress, but because that,
in the face Of bitter. unscrupulous and Temporal
rily triumphant opposition, he has born himself SO
frankly, uprghtly and manfuly, that Political In
tegrity trumphs in his person, and his election is
q verdict not merely against bis defamers but IN
favor Of lofty bearing in adversely, and vindcates
the good old Anglo Saxon love Of fair play. Among
the six score and over Of Wings who will meet on
the FIRST Monday in December next to choose I'VE
hope) Wing Speaker and Clerk of the House
and to look sharply into the diplomacy Of Buchanan
and the financierng Of Walker, TO overhaul the ty-
rsnnical absordities Of Cave Johnson and bury out
of tight and smell the offensive remains Of Polkery
there will not be one whose hand will be grasped
more frequently or warmly than John NJ Bolts
Reared and living in a State famous for its
crotchets and distractions. Mr. Bolts has been at
all times and eminently Wing Of the Union. He
has been openly and steadfastly an advocate OF
Protective Tariff, Of National Currency, and OF
liberal appropriations for the improvement Of our
Rivers, Lakes and Hsrbors, Living in the midst
Of Slave. breeding population, finding his most
powerful support in one of the chief narts Of the
domestic eiayo-Trade, Mr. Bolts did not hesitate
TO vote against the Gag Rule subverting the Right
Of Petition, even when Representatives OF North
ern Freemen who noro appear to be most zeal
Gus in their resistance to the encroacbments of
Slavery were voting with South Carolina against
Freedom. He was among the first 10 denounce
the treachery of John Tyler, though his neighbor
and daily associate. He fought the Annexation Of
Texas from first to last with manful zeal efficiency
and perseverance,; he denounced the abominable
War on Mexico from the outset and is its unwaver-
ing adversary still and when an attempt was
made To ensnare and defeat him by a pledge TO
support no man who favored the Wilmot Proviso
be promptly answered in substance, My way to
avoid all trouble concerning Slavery in our con-
quered territory is to take no territory of Mexico
and, though don't like the Wilmot Proviso
pledge you that / shall vote for any Wing against
any Loco r oco candidate who may be nominated"
Such is the man who will represent the metropol-
itan District of Virginia in the next Congress.
Richmond, it will be seen, gave him heavier
vote a. well as a larger majority than she gave 20
Henry Clay and in the District his maj ..rity il
more than double Mr.. Clays. And t,ais after
facetofsce canvass, in which his adversary and
the Richmond Enquirer had ring the changes on
bis alleged antiSouthern 'tptes and sentiments,
denouDcing him as unscand and dangerous. May
we not now deem i, settled, with regard to mean
appeals to local interest prejudice that the Hi
bernian vas right who averred that the best
course TO avoid danger is to meet it half way
Hon. Willoughby Newton, who took the other
course with regard to Texas. pronounced Annex'a a.
tion Southern measure, and as such support, it
by his voice and vote lost his ,o.t thereby. on as
Mr.. Bolts did, and is now - on attsmpt TO
