A VOICE FROM THE SOUTHWEST.

intelligent and Icia5e correspondent mus Whites
ais from Washington county:
Gentlemen The contest in this region, between John
son and Summers will of strict party character. In
cratic ticket but in most of counties
there is no excitement and unless the local candidates bring
VOTERS the poll will be small one compared with the
arpe of voters We have four candidates in this
county two Democrats and two Wings The result may be-
anticipated win great certainty II more with the view
of bringing out ul for Summers and OF giving direc
lion L, The first vote voters it is presumed than
from we'll founded hope Of success that opposition has
been made 10 the democratic candidates. The Wing cand
dates are popular gentlemen but the people too truly appre
cate III. importance Of legislature TO surrender
their political principles any personal avor.sm; and
besides candidates equally popular and can well
claim the support OF their democratic friends

lis failure to correct its patent blunders has mos
amusingIy led its Wing contemporaries into the same dic
ulous mistakes.
First as 20 the Tines denial Of the authenticity OF the
frank of Wing circulars By L. c. Levin, the leader OF the
Native American paywhich the Republican also repeats
We have shown by the official decisions Of the Postmaster
General that Mr. Levin had the full right 10 frank Indeed
the Alexandria Gazette does deny the ankng by Levin
but rather jastifes II.
Again the Times has led the Wing into the bunder about
Mr. Summers vote in 1886 Yesterdays Wing repeats the
story that Mr. Summers did the whole series of reso
tons embracing Mr. Ners which declared that "Congress
has no constitutional power to abolish slavery ii the District
of Columbia or in the territories OF the u Sand the Wing
lauds s. thereby givlng his uncquivocal assent 10
all the propositions they asserted Now VIC have shown
that this is not the contrary, that Mr. s. voted
apuinst Mr. Mlers resolution and thereby virtually de-
carcd that Congress had The abolish slavery in the
District of Columbia and in the territories Is not this
worse than the Wnot Provso-and is not this vote, cou
pied with that denying Vsnias sacred right OF instruction.
sufficient TO cut off the Of both Wings and Democrats
from George ". Summers? He has sympathy with the
cherished principles OF Virginia, and every true son OF Vir
ainia should refuse him his vote.
