MATTHEW WARD-A MISTAKE CORRECTED.
We ace m article going the rounds of the pap9 T.
copied from the Family Journal severely c"a.
meutiu2 on the nomination Of Col. Matthew Warn:"r
Congress By the Jefferson (1eAas) Herald. Col Ward
has long been resident % Texas, and ~ao on. "t
the defenders of its soil against the invading L"s,s "i
Mexico, and he should not bs confounGed With Mat.
Ward Of Lnusvillc notoricty. We have kn"~a t"i.
Ward for many yoars, cs clever and talented @enI
tlcnau, wlioee suavity vi manner aud h2h sen=e o.
honor would shed lus,re upon large proportion ct
the Know Nothing members OF the next Congress.
Col. Wards opposition to the know'Sstbng. may
perhaps account for this venemous ioresteiiihg OF
public opinion in the event Of his election from bis
district in Texas which from bis grea, popularity aud
pbtned hearing we do not think at el! doubtful.
