For the Palladium.
JU DGE WILSON--HARMONY.

So much has recently been said regarding |
the conduct Of our presant Representative, in
the matter of not lending his efforts to pro-
mote harmony in the ranks of the Repub-
can party in this district, that we desire to !
take hand in putting point or two on the !
subject.
We have no wish "anytlling to extenuate"
and on the other hand we hore snaught should
he set down in MALICE" III considering the
action Of Judge Wilson.
II thee has been any attempt at the specific
arrangement of our NJ. C.'s record, outside of
this modern Athens-when,
''On horse, on foot, when iding and when
walking,
It's OF our neighoo, Sits of ourselves we
are talking
and when in examining the acts of public
servant, caca persons private grievances.
must te taken into account and duly adjust
cd, we have failed to note it.
So far as our observations have extended,
the general inuendoes against the Judge. have
settled and centered on the Richmond Post
office.
Ask one of these fault-fnders, who are
charging neglect on the part of the Judge !,
rightly to adjust the appointments and re-
removals in the district TO name the cases
Push the question and insist on a specifca-
tion--after a little hesitation and thrca. clean
irg, it is again--the everlasting Richmond
Post Office !! lnte'rogate the tender gentle
man as to evidence OF a want of harmony and
good feeling in the district, outside OF this
dissatisfied point--again, it is the Richmond
Postoilice.
Is this not literally correct statement Of
the facts
If our memory serves US usefully, our per
sonal friend, the Telegram and Independent,
| and pretty much all the present afflicted pa
| triots, spoke in high terms of commendation
of the able manner in which the Judge &C.
| Quilted himself in his discussions, with the
wind-sawing, spiuttering of Gooding- Are
we in error? If so, we are open to conviction.
If we are correct in our views on this point
the question naturally suggests it, and the
public can not fail 70 appreciate tn, answer.
