Editor Of the Journal:
see by an occasional number of the
Journal which finds its way here, that the
Congressional canvass is exciting some inie-
rest in the Pocket, and that your Judge Lock-
hart is not the most popular man in his own
county, where he is best known. His fame
has preceded him in old Harrison; his own
party regard him as the tail end I'll, and not
one half Of them will vote for him. MIR. Al
bertson it has been said would oppose Lock-
him cold shoulder, and all that hind Of cold
comfort but MIR. Albertson, whatever his
private opinion may be, am satisfied will do
nothing TO compromise his integrity with The
party His party in his own county, how
ever. are not controlled by him-they are at
tached to him-they believe he was unfairly
dealt By in the packed Troy Convention, and
they will take the liberty TO teach Jas. Lock
hart and all such nterlopers that party ties
are threads of gossamer before the scrutiny
of The ballot box. The Wings have been
particularly fortunate in the selection of a
candidate. | am satisfied that there is not
another man in the district who could unite
SO much strength. The Wings are unani
nous in his support, and the minority of the
Democrats whenever they hear him speak
have all their opposition dsarmed. | have
conversed with more than IA hundred pForni-
nent men of the Democratic party in Harri-
son and Crawford counties, and they declare
that to vote for James Lochhart in opposition

victlons ofduiy 10 their God and their coun-
