THE nomination of Mr.. James X.

should be source of qualification to
every man therein. We have long had
inefficient political aspirants in Com
gress, who were decidedly more orna-
mental than useful. Mr.. Gibson is
gentleman of high character, modest
demeanor, and solid worth. lie is
hoHest, laborious, courteous and COM
petent, and will make one of the most
patient, attentive, and efficient commit
tee men which could be selected from
any people. Without the gas and
effrontery which attach to demagogues,
or the moral deprayity which seeks its
congeniality in faro banks aud drinking
Sc Oons, he has the accomplishments Of
Il gentleman and will do honor to any
constituency He is as free from pride
as from vanity, and while he would
grace those cultivated circles where
worth is recognized aud virtue rewarded,
he is of easy access to the most humble
laborer of the land. He is well-known
and loved in Washington county, and
while be has been sought in his retire
meut because of the removal of his dis
abilities, be will return from Congress

TO the Voters Of Washing.


ton County, Virginia.
FELLOW CITIzENs:
At the solicitation Of many friends in the
county, without regard to their past polti
cal opinions, | hereby announce ms self
candidate for seat in the next Legislature
of Virginia.
In yielding to the wishes of the people
in thus announcing myself as a candidate
for position Of 50 much Importance and
responsibility, beg leave TO state that |
was entirely satisfied with the candidates for
the Legislature, appointed by a committee
at the last Abingdon G Jurt, and so expressl
ed myself In letter to friend Of Judgt
Campbell written since his nominations
Since that time the fact has been brOugI
to my Knowledge that Judge Campbell !
disqualified, under the l4.h amendment,
from holding office, having been memhr
of the Secession Convention Of 1861, AID
having voted for the ordinance Of Secs
sion. THIS class Of persons is declared
inelig bic TO Office by the Attorney Oeter-
al OF the United States. The Sale Journal,
at Richmond, whose editors will manipulate
the Radical portion of the next Legislature,
disclUses that members of the secession con.
ven iors are disqualified.
The election of Judge Campbell would
therefore result ia the loss to Il Q county ard
the State of Conservative member in the
next Legislature. To avoid this result,
which is 10 be deplored by good people
everywhere, am willing to lend a helping
hand, and to make q sacrifice Of time anu
OF my personal interests, that under less
pressing circumstances, l could not DO in
duced to make.
/ l regret that shortncss OF time b,forc the
election renders it impracticabe TO call a
county Convention to which l could submit
my claims for tho nomination. But less
than month is to elapse before the elec-
ton, and during this interval much work
must be done in order 10 insure the fall
strength of the county against Wells, Hlr.
ris and negro supremacy in the State. To
this hoy work | expect to v IT, my VII 10
time from this to election with all the 13al
and energy possess.
/ Should the people Of Washington county
see proper to entrust me with seat in the
next Legislature, eau only pledge mysslf
/ to serve them honestly, faithfully an to
! the best. of my ability.
