Mr.. HoLDEN: We intend to elect Democrat from
this District to Congress. 1t can be effected easily.
There is not Wing that stands the least chance of
being elected, except Mr. Steele, and he could be
elected by Democratic il he were to run, he
is particularly unpalaable to the old Federal Wings,
which vegetate around Concord and in the neighbour
hood of General Dockery. But Mr.. Steele, owing
to this consideration, will not be put upon the turf,

Burton Craig (if he belonged to our district,) can

this district to the Democrats. In this County, but
few Wings will vote for Wing nominee. They
say that they Northern, free-soil- Wing
