The POLITICIANS OF TIE DIsrRIcT AND THE
RECENT TRouBLEs OF Ma CLEMENs.-That pro-
nuncia,nento of the Richmond Enquirer, against
our Congressman, we suppose, will traverse the
entire length and breadth of this 10th district,
in one form or another and through one medi
nm or another. 1t will be used with consider
able power and dexterity, we suppose, by the
ambitious politicians who are dying to serve
their country in Congress In fact, the Demo-
cratic politicians of this district will be the worst
enemies that Clemens will have to encounter
for there are so many Of theta and every one
of them are so ravenous and most Of them so
slippery, that they will wiggle and wind around
among the people from now until election day.
with this Brockenbrough imbroglioin their pock-
cts and Aminadab Sleek lamentations on their
lips, all the while busy in getting up diversions
against Clemens. There's about twenty-five of
them who are waiting for turn at the crib and
some of them will be old and toothless and sight
less before it comes their turn, if they are kept
back with two terms to each man. OF course,
then, as we said, this recent contretcmps of
Clemens will be right to their hand, and if Glenn
ems expects to head them off he will not only
have to get up very early, but also work very
hard and pretty late. Provided an oppo-
sition candidate of any force is run against
him, he can't hope to carry any one of the Pan.
handle counties-not one. And it therefore
becomes him tolook sharply after his calling
and election among the Red NYamuses and Gray
backs, who are now to him even more than the
Old Guard was to Napoleon. Aud Just here
we would say to those of them who may read
this article, that if they ever had notion ofre-
electing Clemens-if they ever had or have now
any sympathy, love or admiration for the man
ON account Of the time and the wind and the
sweat he has spent in the cause, nows the time
to show their hands. The lesser Ajax Organ,
next door, has been reinforced by Wise's organ
at Richmond, and the influence of both these,
together with all the small fry politicians of
which this district can boast, will be exerted to
defeat Clemens. The effort of this ravenous
crowd will be to get up a convention, and If
they ever get chance at Clemens in that way,
we wouldn't like, to he on his insurance policy.
The end for Clemens friends to keep in view is
to discard all idea of convention. Don't be
lurcd into any of the approaches of the poll
,icians about convention. 1t has not been the
custom heretofore, and although the policy Of
the Backsville resolutions was abnegated by
the Mouudsvie convention, yet all efforts at a
convention will be, not for the interests Of the
district but for the selfish purposes of the poll
ticians.
We say again, that the only policy for those
in the Clemens interest, is to ignore all talk
about convention, to sleep on their arms con.
stantly, and to watch and pray.
