WARKES, o., Sept ., 1858.
EDrroR DAILY LEADER In my report of our
Congressional Convention made mistake as
to the number of the District, which should be
corrected, lest it might lead politicians into Sc
rious blunders. This is the Goth Congressional
District The District south of US is the
2lst. Ihad written it goth. but afterwards cor
reeted it to 2lst. The District as constituted
under the former appOrtiOnment was called the
2Ist, and casting my mind back over the past
history of the District, saddened by the refec-
ton that the people who had been so long and
so truly represented by Mr.. Giddings, should
feel that, now, in the rising greatness of the
young Republican party, they could afford to
discontinue his services in Congress, was natu-
rally led into the mistake. | beg to say this
much in making the correction, by way of apol-
gy-
The excitement Of the canvass having died
dlA4 having ASeAl AlA4AI AtA SobSA
Election to do its work upon the men engaged
in it, we are enabled to ascertain more clearly
the true condition of the political pulse. In
speaking with men about Mr. Giddings and his
services to the cause of freedom, and our party,
sad countenances are met, and many regrets
are expressed at the withdrawal of the Father
of the House" from Congress. This feeling
is much more general than 1 had supposed, and
is no: confined to those who supported Mr.. G.
in the canvass. Those who were active for the
nomination Of Mr.. Hutehins because they be-
ievod Mr.. Giddings' health in so precarious
condition as tC make 1t necessary to support a
younger man, express their regrets freely at the
result, after duly considering the matter, since
the excitement Of the occasion has subsidized
From these indications 1t would seem that
could could there be another trial there would
be no doubt as to the result.
But Mr.. HutchiEs Is our candidate, and Mr..
Giddings is in retirement. This, l have no
doubt, IS consonant with the feelings of both
gentlemen. Mr.. II. will 90 to the next Con-
gress, full of life and energy, and ambition, and
viii strive to sustain the reputation Of the Dis
trict. He will labor hard and be true to the
anti-slavery cause, and so far as his influence
can 90, will advance its interests. As TO tai
ents and requirements he will compare lavora-
bic with the men who will compose that body;
and will stand as fair as any Of the members
not favored with great aud commanding talents
He will endeavOr to make up in activity what
he may lack in experience, and will be faithful
to the duties of his position.
In the meantime Father Giddings is hot TO be
considered out of the range Of active duty.
The cause will receive his earnest and undivI-
ded attention. he will keep an eye on the whole
field, and as he surveys II in his quiet retire
ment, he will be able to see what can be done to
advance It's interests-to sec where the weak |
points in the enemy's lines may be found
where the Malakof of Slavery is situated, and |
what manRuvTes will break those lines or storm /
their strongest castles, and his advice will be /
freely given; and il will be needed as the voice /
Of an Oracle.
Mr.. Giddings is engaged in writing the His
tory of the Anti-Slavery Fight in Congress, and
bis retircNlent viii enable him to finish the work
in due time. 1t is 4 grand undertaking, and will
10 mnch to benefit the cause and add to lis
progress. The soonerit can be got to press the
better.
There are men already talking about bring
ng out Mr. Giddings for Governor at the next
lnnual election for that office. 1t is premature
o agitate any such matter; but if Gov. Chase
hould wish to retire from the post at the end
# his present term, and it would be agreeable
o the feelings Of Mr.. Giddings to accept it,
What glorious thing it would be to make Mr..
iiddings successor to Gov. Chase What a |
rOwning 1t would be TO 4 long life spent in be-
alf of the rights Of men How it would re-
i've the dropping hearts OF the true men, and
old up and stay up their hands, whenever en-
aged in the work of delivering the down.
