We desire to talk with the friends o
Judge DeBruler throue hout the District
The Judge was brought out as an independ
ent candidate for Congress, in opposition tc
Judge Law, in the early part of July. Hi;
candidacy was not the result of any caucu:
or convention, but sprung from spontane-
Gus feeling on the part of the Opposition Of
the District, and especially Of this county,
that Judge DeBruler's correct views, his tai
ents, his political knowledge, his energy
and industry, his rare powers as a public
speaker. and his statesmanlike abilities
made him the man, pre-eminently above all
others, to represent this District in Congress.
! The nomination by one of those odious in
! strnmentalities-a modern Democratic con-
vention-of that trucking, time-serYing,
out-ef-date politician, Judge Law, deter
mined the whole Opposition, and many of
his own party, to vote against him if they
could have an opportunity of voting for the
man who made such gallant race against
Lockhart in 1851. @. DeBruler. Ac-
eordingly, calls on Judge Deb. to allow his
name to be used were circulated in several
of the counties, signed numerously by the
most substantial citizens, and forwarded to
Judge Deb. Although overrun with his
numerous professional cares, his whole
time employed by absorbing duties, and in
bad health, he responded to the request so
generally made, and permitted the use of
his name, as candidate, rf s..-r-r7
He promptly commenced the work of
canvassing the District as thorougly as his
regard for his physical health and his du-
ties to his profession, would admit Of
He has been in every county and made one
or more speeches in each, but has not been
able to make as many speeches or to spend as
much time in this work as he and his
friends desired. The speeches. he has de-
ligered have been as convincing to the peo-
pie as any they have heard-if not more SO.
Hundreds of Democrats have decided to
vote for him, and the Opposition generally
have been confirmed in their hostility to
bogus Democracy Judge DeBruler. has
made votes wherever he has spoken. AL
though this District has for years been the
Gibralter of Democracy and although
Judge Law and his friends have thought
that gentleman could walk over the course
and triumph easily, they have come to see
that the chances for Judge DeBruler are
equal to those for Judge Law. If they do
not see this, they are blind indeed. We. tell
Judge DeB.'s friends, in all seriousness
(though ous assertion may seem improba-
ble), that the chances for the election of our
candidate are Uery .favoraBle. The most
cheering news is constantly coming in from
the other portions of the District; and here
in VaDderbureh, where Judge Laws vas
cillating, uncertain political record is so
well known-here right at Judge Laws
home--Judge DeBrnler's chances are better
than his. I1E gf8L gL
We hold out no false hopes when we talk
power to commence his canvass early and
make thorough work oft, his success would
have been beyond peradventurc. He would
have been elected, sure. But even as the
known-so much confidence is there ia his
ability, energy, industry, integrity, and
consiStency-that giving Judge Law the
advantage of the thorough canvass that has
been made by him and in his behalf by
others, and allowing for the vast Democrat
ic strength in the Dstrict-we say in good
earnest to Judge DeBruler's friends, that |
hard s0ork from now to the election through !
out the District will elect him. Surely, the
inducement to have this District represent |
ed in Congress by consistent, conserva-
tion old Henry Clay Whig-an advocate |
of Wing principles-is sufficient to cause
every man of the Opposition to "pull off |
his coat and roll up his sleeves " and go to
work in earnest for DeBruler. i
Nen of all parties--Whigs, Americans,
Republicans, and Democrats-have calmly
considered the claims, personal and poIiti-
cal, of the two candidates. They consider
Judge DeBruler as man Of energy and
vigor; hard working man, who will labor
earnestly for the interests of his constitu-
ents, and one who, if elected will be in fa-
vor with the Administration - Lincoln 81
that is most likely to be in power. They
look on him as self-made man, who by
bis own unaided exertions, and not by
the aid of fat Government Offices, has made
himself what he is. They read his consist
ent, unvarying Whig record, and in hear
ing him define his present views, find them
to correspond exactly with those old Whig
principles which he professed and preached
during the lifetime of that lamented party.
Persons who are now Wings see all this;
Democrats, and Republicans who
used to be Wings see it honest Democrats
whose present doctrine on the absorbing
question of Slavery used to be identical
with the old Whig and the oil Democratic
