| Tho Repse,seas h playing q mos. ludicrous.
| d the Rump Convention whom it at Hrst set NJ
- the representative Of sectional interests, and
appealed to sectional preiudices in hs support
hut seeing the effect Of this policy, now proclaims
that "hs is not ,ocdi candidate. or the peculiar
| champion of local interests. He Is neither com
Ssitted 10 or against any Local scheme" Will the
reader please bear this in mind, and remember
that the Republican thus absolves the people OF
this section from any obligation to support IFS
nominee, upon the ground that he would DO the
peculiar representative of our interests. Our
neighbor disclaims for Gen. Clay any such posi-
ton, and ndduces in evidence that this is the
son why Lewis Z. Harvic, and other gentlemen Q +
the Danrille interest, can CONSISTENTLY support
him"
The "Danyillc interest can consistently support
Gen. Clay because his position is one Of entire
neutrality mark that. "0n tho other hand"
quoth the Republican, "Mr. Tredway Is openly
committed to the Danyille cxtcnsion--a work
which would almost ruin tynchburg and her
roads-and therefore, no interested in the local
interests Of this city and her great improvements
no one interested in the South.Sde Railroad and
it's intcrest--can possibly support Mr.. 7. without
the betrayal Of the highest obligations to his own
section" Very we'll then, we shall act upon the
suggestion of the Republican. II would be ''rn-
inous to our interests should Mr.. Tredwny be
elected. and rs we nrc indisposcd to "betray our
obligations to this section" must lot him slide.
Upon the other hand. We are released by tho Re
publican from any obligation to support Gen.
Clay, as che is not local candidate. or the pecu
liar champion Of local Il. C. our) interests, and
stands in position OF entdc nenf,uity' therefore
it will not subserve our interests particularly to
elect Gen. Clay, and We shall let him pass. I'm
dor these circumstances any and oil circum-
stanccs-we shall! support Mr. kilby. and trust
that he may be elected.
We think it due to the sca-board that It should
have representative in tho Board Of Pullic
Works. and Ms Mr. Kilby lives on the direct line
Of our connec,ions--is Interested in the great lines
Of improvement that connect the waters Of the
Mississippi with those Of the Chesapeake. passing
through our city--hc is every why acceptable to
us. In n letter now before us, Mr.. Kilby says;
Il feel fully identified mM all oar Sonth-.Sde
Interests, and hope to see all prosper; vet nm not
entnngled with any special Enthusiastically, yet
enabled from position To be just and impartial to
ALL"
This is all that the Republican claims for its
candidate in tho language above quoted, and
therefore submit that Mr.. Kilbys position is
just rs good for us as that of Gen Clay whilst
Wings can support him without disqualification.
We hope they will not support Gen. Clay with all
the odium of the Rump Convention clinging to
his skirts.
Mr. Kilby is gentleman Of fine talents; n good
speaker; thorough, energetic business man. and
devoted to the internal improvement policy of the
State. Let us support him cordially in this
ton, and let brethren Of the press do all they
can to bring him before the people. lie is worthy
Of their earnest and hearty support
