We stated the other day, on authority which
No regarded rs reliable, that the Democratic
candidate in this District. wa. descrter from
the ranks of the Know Nothngs. Wo have
since asoertalncd that we were in error and
that his npostacy to the Wing party only is the
true indictment on which he should be nraigned
1t makes but little difference, One is about us
bad 5 the other.
We take occasion to renew our appeal to the
friends of DIR. Patteson not to let thu election 60
by default. They have it in their power to elect
him by handsome mnjority-aud they should
do it. Good men, in those days. ARE not pen
tful that eau afford to let an opportunity pass
of placing them in tho uariinnsh'p of our rights
and interests. 1t is duo to the integrity of tho
party that we should not only select suitable
successor 10 Mr.. Irving but that we should de-
Doli-h at one blow those de-ortrrs from our
ranks-noyltiates not yet entitled 10 the toga

Vincent Witcbe, for Congress.
From the Richmond Wing of Friday last we
extract the following paragrnphi

| pfrrsYLgANfA DlsrRIcr-At the last Ptts5t'anla
court, the Wings and Americans OF that county adop
ted resolution ommCndlng poll 10 he oPehed ~
| each of the counties composing that Congressman
district for Vincent N,tcher, Esq as the distribution
candidate for Congress We therefore eah upon the
friends of distribution IN the Ptsl lvaaia Congress
! sioBal district 10 open poll for tile odd Wheel
| Horse, and then let every WING AMI American cast
his vote for him II nothing more 1t Will amount TO
u hatterng compliment to the venerable gentleman
who has rendered such gallant and effective setsire
to the Wing cause IN days gone toy. And no man IN
the Stale Il more deserving OF the gratitude
of the Wing party than Vincent Nitcher.-
Nobly has he fought their battles, aud proudly md
iriumpbantly has he borne himself IA every enconn-
ter he has ever had with the champions OF Dem0cra
cy--and he has met aud endorsed the lest Of them.
With timely organization and with an active can-
vass, the friends Of distribution conld have beaten
Boeoek and carried the day. But even ms It Is, let
them all-=eeery one-turn out on the day OF eiee-
ton, and roll up large a vote Tor tho old wheel
horse as possible.
We publish the above article for tho purpose
of cordially uniting in the recommendation Of
tho Wings Of Pittsylvania, and the suggestion OF
the Richmond Wing No man in the common.
wealth has rendered greater service to his party
than Vincent Witcher--no man deserves more
at its hands--and there is whose patriot
ism is purer more unseliish.
We are aware that Capt. Witoher Is uyerse 10
the position IF eandi1ate--nor can no he,
now, strictly considered ~ such Had he con
scented, be might have been on the track long
snce-nnd. we believe. with a fair prospect of
success. Under the well directed aim of his
sedge hammer blows, the distractions, inconsis
tenoes. aud obnoxious acts of modern Democ
racy would have been 80 thoroughly pummellcd
that nothing but the imperious party tyranny,
practised by the Democracy, could have pro-
vented his success
Even now, it is not hopeless and in this
view, we call on every man in the District
whether Wing, Democrat, or American. Who be.
lieves that it is time Virginia should derive her
just proportion of benefit from the public land-
before it be too late, to rally to the polls, and
vote for Vincent Wtchcr. Whether he be cleo
ted or not, there is II satisfaction in voting for n
representative OF our principles even though de
feat stare in the face The Cause and the
man nike deserve our most strenuous exertions.
