candidate for Congress in this district. II
is a nomination fit TO be made, and will
meet with hearty response by the wings
throughout the District
Mr. Parker has, fot many long years
been a prominent member Of the Whig
party, and has battled maniuly for the
success Of Wing principles. His talents
and eloquence will give him command
ing influence in Congress. We look up
Oh his election as certain. No bargain
can be formed between the Democrats
and Free soil party that can endanger his
success.
After the nomination. Mr.. Parker de-
fined his position, in few brief and elo-
quent remarks, before the Convention
lie said he was not new convert 10 the
doctrine Of Free soil-tfat twenty years
ago he had written aud spoken against
the extension Of slavery, and that his
views, on this subject, had undergone no
change. He said he was opposed to the
ADM ssion Of any more slave States into
the Union; and he believed that such was
the sentiment OF Madison and other prom
ineni men who framed, and adopted the
Constitution.
In maintaing his old ground that be
nus OCCuDicu IOT dTkcT can
20 as far on the subject Of Free soil, and
any ner/y conucrted Free soiler in the
State. Why then should any Free soiler
especially Wing, vote against him.
Mr.. Parker will thoroughly canvass the
district before the election, and we hope
that men Of all political parties will give
him hcaring.-[ Wayne Co. Wing.

Clarion,-a paper which, in 1880 and at /
we recollect, did good service
tor the Wing party.
Mr.. Parkcr's competitor before the Dis
trict Convention, for the Congressional /
was David p. Holloway, of
Richmond, who received the entire vote

Quoted the Richmond Palladium, has
been several times a member Of the Indi-

telligence and industry, in whose hands
the power Of the Congressional District
might have been safely reposed.-[ Gin.

OF The following extract we take from
the Fayette County Democrat. 1t was
written by the editor in answer to a COM
that appeared in the Jeflcrso-
man favoring a coalition between the
Free Sellers and Locos in this Congress
sional district. Elder of the JefIersonian. {
seems willing to sacrifice every princi- |
pie that has been, and is at present held
~ the locofoco party as fundamental, for 1
he sake offree soil votes to elect himself
% the State Legislature. And should he
succeed in this, that moment Elder will
be himself sgain''-an ultra locofoco, de-
the Quakers and Free sellers as ,
cries and traitors. d
peaks now. what Elder secretly approves

The claim Of No-party set up for ;,

sumo to be the third party in our Gov TIT
