first is from the Cecil Wing, Elkton, which says:
The Congressional Election ia DeIa,oare.-We are
gratifiGd to see the name our former fellow Citizen
Edwin Wilmer, Esq, mentioned as candidate for
Congress in Delaware. The bold and independent
stand taken by the present able representative from
Delaware Mr.. Fisher, has induced very general
desire among the Union men Of other States TO see
him returned TO Congress. If from any cause he is
not to be candidate there is no man in the State
whose election would give US more pleasure than
that OF Mr.. Wilmer. He has ability, energy aud
