ready spoken in his behalf; aud we
feel assured that Washington will send
delegates to the convention pledged to
his support. No man in the District is
more favorably known; his connection
with the Western Maryland Railroad
has broaght him in contact with the
best men Of the adjoining counties, aud
wherever known his geutlemanly man

host of friends. As the recognized
leader Of the old Wing party he won
the confidence and respect of all. Since
The demise of that party he has been
acting with the Democracy, aud was
elected BY them to represent this county
in the last Constitutional Convention.
We are gratifed that Frederick has
spoken in his favor, as it has placed US
in the position Of being able to second
the nomination. The Democratic Party
Of the Fourth Congressional District
can find no man in its ranks who will
be more efficient as its standard bearer
10 the coming contest, and no one who
has the welfare and success Of the party
more at heart. We say again, let Col.

our banners, and Radcalism DO laid
