The Alexandria Gazette says: "Mr. Seldom has

Congress from the Richmond district, and Mr..
Bolts as the Wing candidate It will be hard
fought contest; but We are in hopes Mr.. Bolts will
triumph. The noble stand he has taken in behalf
of the Union in the present crisis, entities him to
the hearty support of the Wings. We notice that,
at the meeting which nominated Mr.. Seldom, Mr..
Senator Douglas, from Illinois, happened "acci-
dcntally' to be present, and made q speech The
honorable Senator it is said has aspirations for the
Presidenhhip. But this is q curious way in which
to commence the Presidential canvass. We dare
say Mr.. Bolts would be willing 70 meet the Senator
and Mr.. Seldom, both together, in the canvass be-.
fore the people. It is not only in the Richmond
district, but everywhere else throughout the State,
that the Wings are buckling on their armor. The
postponemcnt of the elections will enable them to
look around and select their best men az their
standard bearers. These once chosen, they should
rally around and cndeavor with all their might to
elect them. We believe that, with proper exer
tions, the Wings carry several of the districts
in Virginia; and we should DO glad to see them
fully represented in the next Congress-"
