Ot1rHon w. w. Wick, the late able representa-
tive, has been nominated for Congress by the Demo-
Gratis Of the fifth district. The Wings held a conven
ton the 18th inst. to nominate his opponent We
have vet heard who the unfortunate individual IS
but he will be a skinned Coon. "BIlly" is adept
at that Western Nei0 Aibdny) Democrat.
The "unfOrtunate individual" is Mr.. N. McCarty,
late merchant Of this place, of than % years
SANDING
We opine that Billy" will rather incline
exert his " sknning" abilities, by operating upon
the entire coonery than upon Dir. McCary. They
have been Deghbors and personal friends for near
quarter of century, and they have grown old together
here. But although " Billy" may feel kindly toward
on old well conditioned whose hollow tree has
been near his own. for long time, yet expect
he will show his usual energy in denuding the ami
mails, in general at which he is, you say, adept.
for reason that we know Of They say Mr.. McCariy
is to keep still, not address the people, nor commit
HIMSELF and in this way the prudent gentlemen. who
gave him the preference the laxative coons
in these woods expect him bring his support the
following elements, to-wit
LIST. All the old federal wings who for Uni
ted States bank, protective tariff, and Henry Clay
for President
pose the war, pronounce it Unnecessary unjust, and
unholy, who would rather subd& TO injustice than
seek redress by honorable warfare, and who object
the further extension of the boundaries of the
try; and who for Gov. Corwin for President
3d. All the members of the society Of Friends who
opposed to and military heroes
4th. All those who specially for hero and a
Shareholder for President in the person Of Gen. Tay-
Tor. without reference to political questions.
9th. All those who have experienced Mr.. McCarty's
kindness, as indulgent creditor.
9th. All those who be induced to take neigh
Dor McCarty for veritabIe farmer and tiller Of the
soil.
7th. All those who upon the evidence of the wings
and Judge Peasee may conclude that quarter Of
ton Of land is better than hriy-six dollars, and
who, when they get opinion will not give it up OF
the clearest
Our mans opinions on each of those subjects is well
known. He is opposed to United States Bank, to
a protective tariff, and to ii. Clay-as President.
He believes the TO be necessary and just and ad-
vocates its vigorous prosecu:ion-prefers dis
honorable submission to aggression and injury
would gladly the boundaries of our country ex-
tended, and is therefore for Mr. Corwn for Pre-
sident. To him it is no disparagement to a candi-
date for the Presidency that he should be military
hero, or a STAKEHOLDER, or both-he knows Gen.
Taylor personally, and esteems him highly and il
would give him the greatest pleasure to support him
for President, should it turn out, when the time
comes that he can do without sacrifice of polit
cal principle. He has always been in circumstances
too moderate to become creditor to many or tC
much amount. He was practical laboring farmer
till about thirty two three years ago, when he lef
the business, more from necessity than inclination
He has, however, knack in the way of making
tariffs, under which farmers eau thrive. He obsti
natey persists in the opinion that quarter section
of land is better than thirty six dollars especially
when, if the Volunteers will wait till the right time
and not let themselves be used up by spectators
they get that quarter section in the Miami Re
serve, where the minimum price is three hundred ant
twenty doars-neary ten times thirty six.
=, If Mr.. McCarty will define his position, as dis
timely, clearly, and definitely ON each of the abov
propositions man has be will, as politician
after the first Monday in August next, be-nowhere
