!, MT notorious fact tha. Mr. Bedinger has niin-
sslf since his defeat, in the most open and public
manner Borne testimony to the erect lofty and !
bonorable manner in which Mr. Faulkner has cen ,
aneted The canvass And If AFTER acontest severe
and anirated as Il has BEEN and conducted In such
4 mode. as to exoft from his defeated competitor
the highest compliment 10 Mr. Faulkner-the peo-
pie have decided against Mr.. Bedinger surely the
Spirit if he be good democrat, should bow to he
voice Of the people and submit with good grace
tothat tribunal, from which there is no appeal.
The attempt to ideatify the opinions Of Mr..
Faulkner as tending 10 q consolidation federal
refreshments and all that sort Of slang, hardly
worthy Of Press, pretending TO the decency and
intelligence claimed BY the Spirit Il shews an
inaccessible ignorance ofthe sentiments andopnions
Of Mr. Faulkner, and We venture TO predict, that
there viii not Be found in Congress any man more
prompt 10 sustain the just rights Of the States, and
10 check any improper and unconstitutional en-
croachment Of federal power, than the representa-
tire elect from Ibis district
The Spirit takes the following extract, defining
Mr. Faulkner's position, from the Martinsburg Re
pnblican, and -parades il as II i, contained some
nee development, whilst we presume, there is NOT
one intelligent voter in the district who does not
know ,hatitis the position which Mr.. F. occupied
from the beginning 70 the termination Of the can
4vass, without change or shadow Of change.
Though Mr.. Faulkner, the Independent Union
candidatea has been heretofore designated as a
wing, lis election cannot with any Propriety Ne
claimed as a party triumph, this district is ca
seLte az any time Of giving clear Democratic ma
pads. g eight hundred Nj aty rieioFy
and has publicly declared that If il should be 50
claimed in any quarter he would take the earliest
opportunity 70 corFect As error. He states that he
is pledged 10 butthe single issue Of preserving the
Union, in opposition 10 the doctrine Of secs.si9n
and that he takes his seal in Congress
by any other measure, free 10 act as ne may .hinE
bess calcuiate promote The igtereSsg we arAoS
c0aRtTN. &
Our nefghbor, in closing his longdirade aboatth
defeat of his laToi,e candidate Mr. Bedinger says:
mThere is certainly no man in the District whom |
We more respect and admire in all the private rela
lions of life, 20 whom we accord more capacity
for usefulness in any position to which he may be
/ called, than Mr. Faulkner, but the circumstances
under u.hieh he hassecured seat 10 Congress from
:srs lstricf will prove as neither isone around
his neck, and forervs aer Pruyen from reach
ing that etninence and distinction in The Connre1
wealth 10 which his intellect entities him 10 receive
at the hands OF the Wing party"
Now, neighbor, all that we have to say to you
in conclusion is-Take care Of your own party, We
viii endeaTor to take care Of ours. II it should
even hereafter be the fate and fortune of Mr.. Faux
ner to actwiih the Democratic party, Il win notde-
prive us oftheconsolation which we enjoy Of having
npon the present occasion, given to him jealous
and cordial support, as firm and reliable friend of
tke Union. twas moi as Wing, bu. as friend
10 the Union, that Mr.. Faulkner presented himself
before the District "a the recent contest, and il he
continues throughddx his Congressional career, to
be true and faithful to that great interest one
will have any just right 10 complain OF dsappoint-
men let his course in other respect be what his own
| ;ndvfnenf may prescribe
