Fourth Congressional District.

TourCn congressional U1SCr1cC.
At the Convention held at Buckfeld on the
10th inst, William K. Kimball, ESQ.,, of Par
is, was nominated to fill the vacancy occaspned
by the death Of Col. Andrews.
The towns in the Oxford portion of the dis
trict, were fully represented, and good feel
ing pervaded the Convention. The democrats
of Lincoln, though they did not express their
wishes in convention, will give their approba-
tion of the nomination at the polls. We con-
graduate our Oxford friends in giving us a
candidate whom we can so cordially and heart
lily support. Though comparatively young
man, he is well known to electors of the dis
trict as a tried and faithful democrat, and has
filled with signal ability, the public stations to
which the people have called him. As a
member of the Legislature he distinguished
himself as ready debater and faithful repre-
sentative of his constituents-and as Clerk of
the Courts, an efficient Judicial officer. We
copy from the Argus the following .
civilian K. K1MBALL, Esq, of Paris, wa
put In nomination at the Congressional Con-
vention, held at Buckfeld on the 10th inst, to
fill the vacancy in this District, occasioned by
the death of Hon. Charles Andrews. The
Oxford towns, being entitled TO the nominal
ton, were fully represented in the Convention,
and the result was very decided majority for
Mr.. Kimbal, over Hon. LYMAN RAwsoN-
Much could be said in comm endaton of both
these rival candidates, of their consistency, f.
deity and honesty, and what could be said in
these respects of one, would apply with equal
truth to the other but what all Democrats
care most about now, is the election of the
nominee. ..-. .... .......... ..
The Democrats of Lincoln and Oxford, con-
shutting this District, may all feel assured,
THAT they have candidate in Mr.. Kimball,
worthy of their united and cordial support. He
combines the gentleman and honest man to the
politician; and TO talents of high order he
adds moral character above reproach. Being
ayoung man, his friends cannot rally the people
to his support ondhe ground of long and emf
nent public services, but shey can with truth
declare, that in the public stations he has oc-
cupied-those of Representative TO the Legis-
lature and Clerk of the Courts, he has dis
charged the duties devslving upon him, with
singular ability, promptness, urbanity and fdel-
ity.
Such a man should receive the entire
strength of his party. No good reason can be
assigned why every voter protesting Democra-
cy should not go TO the polls on the nh June,
and sustain their principles by giving their suf
frage for such candidate. Our principles are
at stake. and we should take this opportunity
to magnify and make them honorable. A',
We can elect Mr.. Kimball by one thousand
majority if we will but unite and put forth our
strength. Shall we do ii! The time is ia
vorable. Our opponents are divided and dis
tracted. Let us use every honorable effort to
maintain union in our own ranks, and by sas-
tanning our candidate, repudiate all minor top
les of difference, promote our cause and the
true interests of the people,"
The time of election is near at hand, and
what is done must be done at once. We have
the strength, if we will but use it. We have
a candidate around whom all can rally, on the
broad platform of our party principles, and
who, if elected, will fill with honor and fdeli-
ty the place of the lamented Andrews. The
efforts of our opponents made in 1850, to Sc
cure the election of Reed, will be put forth
with renewed vigor. Shall we suffer defeat,
when we can ensure success, Will we suffer
ourselves to be misrepresented in Congress for
want of effort! o. ..r.--e ..lf r.. .s...-.s,,
