faction by any man in the Locofoco party
tits pretty well ascertained that Mr.. LETcH-
Err, at present the most prominent Locofoco
in The District, is to take tilt with some
true-blue Union and COMPROMISE Wing, for
the office once held by the deceased Repre-
sentative. This formidable gentleman being
provided for, it is altogether probable thai
Mr.. GEO. E. DENEALE of the Tenth Legion
of Modern Democracy, will aspire to repre-
sent us the people of old Wing Augusta, IN
the Congress of the United States. Now
it is our decided opinion that the robes OIL
honor, exchanged so recently by the la
mented Mcdowell, for the habiliments Of
the tomb, would hang rather loosely upon
the shoulders of Mr.. DENEALE, or any 9TH
er Locofoco in the District-Gov. LETcHEF
not excepted. We are not acquainted with
any man outside of the Wing party who can
wear them worthily. Within our own fold
however, we have quite number OF unex'
ceptionable gentlemen, sound to the core on
the great ISSUES OF THE DAY, who we think
could commend themselves to the intelli'
gent democracy ofthis District. We there
fore suggest the propriety of giving Mr.. DE-
NEALE tussle in October'next. What say
our brethren of the presto UNION AND
COMPROMISE WING CANDIDATE
FOR CONGRESS
Organization is essential to success the
first election under the new Constituton;and
we know of no more ehectual mode OF mar
shalling our forces than by bringing into the
field Wing candidate for Congress IN DC,
tober. The great error of the Wing party
has been its fear of defeat. Let not this
dread of numbers cripple our energies any
longer. If the District is largely Democratic
il is not largely disloyal to The Union, OF
particularly fond of Notification and Seces'
sion. If a Wing candidate is brought ou
he will be an original COMPROMISE man anc
firm friend of the UNION, opposed alike tt
the disorganizing schemes Of Northern ia
natics and Southern ultras. The defeat o.
such Wing by an anti-comprimIse Loco
foco> we hardly think certain. We may al
least give him trial. Even if defeat shoute
follow. our hands will be strengthened by
the effort; and if victory shall perch upon
our banner-language is inadequate to tel
what would be the consequence.

to be written in Paris, by gentleman VINO
will possess peculiar facilities for lnforma-
ton. We hope to make this a very accept
able feature in the Review. In view OF the
coming Presidential contest we wish to nave
all our armor ready, and to feel the sustain
