Hon. John McQueen I.

We have the pleasure of announcing this
gentleman as n candidate for reelection to
Congress from this the first Congressional
District. We have understood that Gen
Mcqueen will have opposition, and we are
more than sorry to hear that his late visit
to Alabama-whether he was obliged to re-
main a short time-has been improperly
construed by some of his constituents, and
by that means placed him in n false light.
We repeat, we are sorry for though since
Gen. Mcqueen will be re elected, we would
be glad for him to have an overwhelming
majority which he deserves.
Congress adjourns on the 4th prox., and
Gen. Mcqueen will visit our citizens soon
after.
A member to Congress, and an esteemed
friend, writes us as follows. We have no
authority to publish this, for his letter is
headed "private" but the tribute is so
Just, we cannot forbear giving it place
in our paper.
al am very sorry to hear that Gen. Nc
Queen is likely to have opposition. Gen.
Mcqueen has very high stand here for his
sterling honesty, independence, fidelity,
both rights Of his section and his correct
judgment. When the people have afaithful
member they shouldnot lightly change him
perhaps no cause has operated more benefi-
cially to give influence and position to men,
bers here from the Southern States. tlan to
their longer tenure of Office, in comparison
with members from the Northern States
The Northern members are usually chang
cd after the ist or at farthost 2nd term,
southern constituencies give generally a
much longer term to their members, and
hence Southern members in proportion to
their numbers usually have a preponderat-
ing influence"
