rate this people 4ry differently. We be-
lieve that there p as much intelligence
and patriotic pride in this district as any
where in The Unon-we say this of the
people without respect to party
But while all This gunpowder plot is /
being arranged here, and while these

representative oStbis district is pursuing
the noiseless tenor Of his way AZ Washr
iagron and wearing down his very consti~
tuition in his unceasing and unremiLted
labors fer the people. AS public man,
we venture the assertion, no man IN Con
gress has more influence than the repre-
sentative Of this district. He is always
in place always at work. never neglect
ing q public duty, or emitting private
request. The Hon. 2. kldwell is more
thoroughly working man-mOre of
peoples representative, and less ETA mere
| politician than any other man we know.
! Courteous and bland in his m nners, of
| great practical talent and shrewdness and
Of uninpea;habIe character, lie is respect
ed and admired by All men in public and
lprivate. We appeal to The opponents of
the hig purity in this District TO corrob-
crate the aSiseIlon that z. Kidwell is II
most excellent representa- sc Of the Pri-
waite interests VI his constituents. No
man in Congress ever gave such assidu-
