iveliest pleasure. It emanates from one of the most
intelligent and faithful Wings of the 9th Congress

Few men in any State would make more valuable
and efficient representative in the Congress Of the
United States for few there be who possess more
native power of intellect more full aud accurate
information upon all the political questions of the
day. more tact and industry, more unloading trm-
ness and integrity We doubt not that the announce

gress would be hailed with every demonstration oil
qualification and pleasure by the entire body OF the
Wings and Americans Of the district, ard be would be
supported by them ALL aud by hundreds of bemocr ITS

therefore repeat call upon him to announce him
self candidate for Congress forthwith and take the
stump at Franklin court as suggested in the eommu-
nicaton below. We invite the Wings aud Amcri-
cans of the district also, TO force Mr. Witcher into
the canvass, for beneath his sledge-hamner blows
the sophistry of his competitor would be exposed in
all its nakedness to the people and the district we
doubt not, would be gloriously redeemed. and we
should then have in Congress an able and earnest al-
vocate of the great proposition to obtain for Viz
