We are sorry to disagree so radically witt
the honorable gentlemen whom we esteem s.
highly, but our constituents have solemlv char
ged us to speak in their behalf and we have N
disposition to shirk the duty we owe them.

On one of these indiy duals the choice Of tie

name of that individual II John Hickman, Of
Chester county PENNSYLVANIA.
We confess that we do not credit the report
We do not believe that even the black rpn,bIi
cans are capable Of such an act. They are will
ing perhaps, to pay the stipulated 'thirty pie
for the office of Clerk; but they cannot he will
ing to pay such an extrayagant price for trea-
son as to sacrifice themselves by elevatng the
traitor to the position OF standard bearer in the
present life and death struggle in which they
if and as we see it stated in YESTERDAY eyepirr.s
papers. In the remote possibility that it NAV
he well founded. we think it dine to the truth Of
history to give a briel sketch of Mr.. Hicknan's
poltieal record. in order that all who are indu-
ced to support HIM NAV be aware of his pecu
liar merits and qualifications We take the
facts from paper circulated in Mr. Hicknan's
district during his last Congressional canvass
and which purports to be "a truthful review of
his (Hickman,s\ political history. from its com.
mercement, as the enemy and reviler of An
dew Jackson to his present nosition Of onno
siton to President Buchanan, ard of opep afIll
ation with black republicanism." We are
crediblv informed that the ''review'' is perlect.
" accurate. All it wants to make it c6p,pIete
il the record of Mr.. Iljckman's votes for the
endorser of Heller treason, and that the recol-
lection of our readers will supply.
Thirty wears since Mr.. Hickman entered no.
ltical life. during the Presidency Of Andrew
Jackson, In 1881 be A.ured at q public meet
inc Of the onnonents Of Jackson and his a1-
ministraton which was held at Westchester
Pa n6r tba purnose Of 60 oneratinc in the for

that meeting Mr.. Hickman ioined in ibe fer
cest denunci2tion OF Gen. jackson. nro.
scr,ntiye policy. - "his high handed attemht to
arrest the legislation of Congress in relation to
internal imnTovements.n and his DEGRADING ol
our institutions to the level of the corTupt
courts of Europe" In 1884 Mr.. Hickman was
one Of the prominent signers Of call for
