Hon. A. III. III. Stuart.

To the Editor Of the Wing In view of the
next Presidential coutest-a contest the most
momentous for veal or woe in the history of oul
Government--theq question is daily asked: "WhC
is the man for the crsisP" / have carefully
surveyed the field, aud considered the men tC
whom the public mind has already been directed
and have settled down in the conviction thai
Alexander 81. Il. Stuart, of Augusta county, is
the man on whom the Opposition ought to and
will unite / need not say to your readers, thai
he is q statesman,-not of the low, wire-work
ing, pilfering Sort but of the Webster, Clay and
Everett stamp. His heart swells with patriot
ism untrammeled by sectional bias, patriotism
that knows no North, no South, no East, nc
West-but d patriotism capacious enough to
embrace the Union, the whole Union, and moth
ing but the Union, and mind of sufficient
spread and force to comprehend the vast in
terests of country, to see at glance her wants
and to recommend and carry into effect system
of administration which will redown to her in.
terest and glory.
| When Mr.. Stuart was member of Congress
though one OF the very youngest men OF the
| body, he gave promise OF that usefulness and
craftsmanship and patriotism which were sc
eminently illustrated by his career as member
! of Mr.. Fillmore's Cabinet. In that position be
won thousands of friends and made no enemies
Though Virginiau, be has not done anything
or uttered sentiment in the least dstasteful to
the North. AS conservative statesman and
Union man, shadow of suspicion rests not OIL
his fidelity to the peculiar institution of the
South AS gentleman, like the Oheyalier
Bayard, he is ''sans peur, sans repr0che." The
Opposition of the South cannot object to him
the Opposition of the North have never objected
to him and will not. He is Vrginian by birth
and education, and inherited from an il!ustrious
parentage the political opinions Of VirgiDia's
Revolutionary statesmen aud patriots. If elect
ed President of the United States, his platform
of principles will be the Constitution and thu
Union !!
We want such man; we want man who
seeks not office for the spols of office, or rather
who seeks it not at all "a man, who in these
extraordinary times of corruption and extrava'
gauoe, Hwill apply the soaring iron and knife tc
all the fostering, cankering, gangrenous ulcers
and sores with which Democracy" Black Re-
