Upon a recent visit to the county Of
Kanawha, + was much pleased to hear
many Democrats speak Of the necessity
Of nominating the very best man in the
District--not only in regard to availibili-
ty. but Of intellectual attainments-tha
could be selected. There are many,
have no doubt, in the eleventh Congress.
sional District, that would ably and
faithfully represent the noble and indom-
table Democracy in the next Congress
of the United States. But, sir, know
Of no one, who would more tealously,
faithfully and ably represent this district,
than: Hon. Charles 8. Lewis. Of the
County Of Harrison; nor, do know Of
any one for whom the Democratic party
should feela greater regard at this par
ticular time than for Mr.. Lewis. It will
be recollected that At the Glennville Con-
rention, when all the aspirants for q seat
in Congress. quailed before the leglons
of SAM" when none were found seek
ing or soliciting the nomination, Mr..
Lewis had little Or no opposition in the
Convention. Though he had not sought
the nomination. yet It was conferred upon
him, and why ? Because he was q fearless
and able champion of the principles Of
the Democratic party, and had faithfully
represented the District during the unex-
PRED term of the lamented Snodgrass.
Then it was that Know Nothingism was
in its zenith, the people Of the District
has wandered after false gods, whose
leader and champion, was the personi6
cation personi6ed of sam" dema.
gogue worthy Of his party. Though
Mr.. Lewis fearlessly combatted the ab.
surdities and enormities Of Know Moth.
ingism. and appealed to the common
sense Of the people, yet he was stricken
down. The people Of the District have
taken . sober second thought and repu
dated Know Nothingism, as well IS the
I.'Lone Star" who now stands aghast Al
his deformity. his wretched hopeless
ness. Is it not the duty then Of thu
Democracy to stand TO- him who fought
ably and valiently in their behalf, wher
none were bold enough to,be eager for the
prey. Mr.. Lewis for many years repre-
scented the County Of Harrison in tht
Virginia Legislature, and upon all occa
sions was the warm friend of the Yir
ginia Central Railroad /; this alone is no
forgotten in this end Of the District
If Mr.. Lewis should receive the nomiua
ton at the Parkersburg Convention, b,
will be triumphantly elected. E
