A Mad RADIcAL.-'Judg Wilson 5
popularity is entirely of the negative
kind, it is thought he will be stron1,
because but little can be said against
him; although his own advocates freely
admit that as little can be said in his
favor.-R;chmsond Radical.
One would suppose from the above
tha. Judge Wilson was some obscure
individual, that no one knew anythlng
about. Judge Wilson'S popularity rests
upon the fact that he so conducts him
self in Office as to please and satisfy
those who placed him there, aud win
the admiration OF those who opposed
him. He is popular because he has a
kind heart, as well as clear head. He
is popular because he has a peculiar fac
ulty of making and retaining friend
wherever he is introduced, and in this
District he is as extens lively known IS
Hon. G. w. Julian himrelf He is pop
ular because he is free from vindictive-
ness, and always manifests kind aud
gentlmanly bearing towards ala quail
ity the Radical would do we'll to copy
after.
lie is gentleman so affirmatively pop
ular that such articles as the above
only tend to increase his popularity be-
cause every one who knows Judge VII
son also knows there is not word OF
truth in it, and when the Radical uses
such means as the above it shows a very
bad spirit indeed 10 accuse other papers
of using foul means. We defy the
Radical to name one individual who is
an advocate of Judge Wilson that stfree
ly admits as little can be said in his fa-
would be indeed. We beg leave to in
form the Radical chat the Press of this
District for two months has teemed with
the praise Of the merits of Judge Viii
son, and the half has not been told
No wonder the Radical is mad about

JUDGE WILSON FOR CoNGEEss.-JudgG
Jerry Wilson,of Co nnersyille, author
ICES us to say TO the Republicans of
Union County that he is a candidate for
nomination for representative in Con
gross from this District.
No eulogy from us will add to the
merited reputation Of judge Wilson as
a man of honor, integrity aud eapability.
Our people know him well and univer-
sally respect him That he would make
faithful, competent end inorruptibIe
Representative no fair minded person,
In our opinion, can deny.
We have not the time to say anything
farther regading Ir. Wilson or the
Congressional race in this issue, bat
shall do so in our next and also publish
extracts from the District papers in re-
gard to the same Liberty Herald,
Feb. 9th.
We have been asked so often why we
did not express our preference for @
Congressional candidate in this District,
that we now take occasion to say, once
for oil, that we do not think it the prov
ince Of a party newspaper to aid in
fcmenting q quarrel in the ranks Of its
cordially support either of the gentle~
men who have been in this connection,
when the nomination is made, and Ger
trinity see no good cause for maligning
either, or asserting that either is the
only available candidate. We have our
personal preference, and when the prop
er time comes we expect to exhibit that
preference; but we beg leave to decline
assisting the Democracy by abusing
any man in our ranks who has made
himself SO acceptable to Republicans rs
to receive the support of a considerable
number for this high office. Other ed
itors think differently, and they have
perfect right to exercise their own
judgment in managing their own affairs.
as we certainly shall in managing
