THL GLoRIoUs WuNor DISTRICT 7" is the
theme of encomiastic remarks by the Repubr
Leans Of every State. She is pointed to with
pride by the friends of Freedom everywhere.
Her 9, 1873 majority for Fremont, is quoted as
displaying the integrity and intelligence of her
people, and demonstrating the affection and
respect they bear for the man, by whose name
the district is distinguished all over the Union
There has not been a campaign within the last
ten years, in which WILNor was not made the
issue and the, target for all the missiles uuscru-
pulous, viruent enemies could hurl at his head
They have pursued him with fendish maligni-
ty, with all sorts of dirty meannesses, as if his
overthrow was all they desired to effect
Whether candidate or not-whether active
in the political field, or entirely inattentive-
the same tactics have been resorted to by the
dough-face tribe who disgrace our politics. If
they wished to defeat candidate, they SIM
dered WHaor-if they sought to carry mea-
sure, they hastened to propagate the lies they
had cohcOcted concerning WHNor. In the
midst Of defeat they have cursed WHNor-in
the exultation of victory, WILMor has been to
them as Mordecai sitting at the kings gate
The elimination Of the ribald obscenity, of
the fabricated falsehoods, of the despicable as
sauIts upon public and private character, has
occurred during the past Presidential canvass
The climax has been reached at last. The
prince of blackguards, ScHNABEL, has relieved
the smaller dogs from their accustomed howl
and taken up the cry for the total extinction
OF, the inevitable WILMor. What was before
simply the inuendoes of discontented and baf-
fled ambition, under the master-hand of the
West Branch blackguard, blossomed into the
rlpened fruits of educated scurrility and erac
ticed defamation. SCHNABEL stumped the
district" to extinguish WIlxor-his mouth gill
ed with the foulest abuse, and his pocket with
af6davtS Laboring under a singular delusion,
he imagined that WILMor was q candidate for
some high place, and he sought to persuade
our people not to vote for him. This hallu-
cination made him obIivious of state and coun-
ty lines. He eectioneered against him, with
equal vehemence and indecency, as we'll in the
State of New-York as Pennsylvania-in the
Southern part of the State as in the l4th Con-
gressional district
The result, if Mr. WILMor chose to give it
personal application, is one of which he might
indeed be proud. To him it must certainly be
gratifying as vindication of his character
from the aspersions Of his traducers a verdict
sought by his enemies and demanded by them
alone But as on former occasions, the free
men of this district have rallied to abundantly
testify their confidence in him, so now they
have spoken at the polls their devotion to the
principles which he has so often and ably pro-
mulgated. The verdict is satisfactory one
to the friends of Freedom and crushing and
overwhelming to the Border Rufian allies 1t
embtters their exultation in the midst of vic
tory. The leaders feel that they have no
claims upon the incoming Administration, and
instead of rejoicing over the election of BucH-
ANAS, they are moodily and bitterly contem-
plating the glorious triumph of Freedom in
this District. A politician with 1866 maiori-
ty against him in the county where he resides,
has not much claim on the powers that be, and
will not receive great deal of consideration.
1t demonstrates vast amount of negative in
fuence not much sought after by politicians.
We advise the expectants in this county, W hen
they approach the footstool of power beseech-
ing for Office, to hand up with their credentials
the official vote of the county for President.
They won't need any other recommendation.
They might, however put in few words about
" annihilating W1LMor !"
