in several of the Counties, rendering
him their warmest support for seat
in the Congressional Halls. This is
very fattering, and We hope promises
well for his future success in the can
Nass.
The Free Press of Charlestown, con-
tains the following notice -
Hon. ALIEN. Il. BorELER.-The disa
biNties Of the Hon \. II. Boteler hav-
ing been removed by special act OF
Congress, he is now mentioned as likely
to be prominent before the COngression-
al District Convention for nomination.
We all know Mr. Boteler, and remem-
Der with pleasure the intellectual treats
served by him in which Messrs Bcdin-
ger, Faulkner and others participated,
in days of yore. We have not heard
any Of his eloquent uttcrances for more
than decade, but he is none the less
gifted; has the material interests OF the
people at heart, and the Will, when op-
portunity presents, to deliver trenchant
blows to radicalism.
The Spirit Of J.GersOn also says -
HoN. A. Il. BorELER.-This gentle
man is supported editorially by the
Shephcrdstown REGISTER as a candidate
for this District. We much prefer Mr..
Lucas, but will support Col. Botcler, Of
course, if he should be 50 fortunate rs
to receive the nomination He has at
least the merit Of neycrhaving appeared
ashamed of his war record We think,
therefore, that if he were to get into
Congress, he would have the moral
stamina to resist any seductive offer 10y
the Republicans however advantageous
to his personal interests it might at first
appear to be.
The uagerstown, Md: Free Press Of
last week, also contains the following
complimentary notice =
Hon. ALEXANDER Il. BoTELER-We
notice that this well known gentleman
is spoken Of in connection with the
nomination for Congress from our adj
iacrnt district in West Virginia. Now
that his political disabilities are rcmov-
ed, we should suppose that the present
alton OF his name before the convention
woyld make his nomination as sure as
his election would be afterwards. He
would be a most acceptable candidate
to all branches Of his own party. Con
would remember that he was
the mover Of the committee of thirteen
in the Congress just before the VAL
tie last effort made to restore harmony
and prevent the war which ensuedi that
ne couusclled moderation and Concilia-
ton, and cXerted all his energy ard his
brilliant cioquence to saTe the country
from the ruin that came upon it. Viz
ginians will remember that when the
die was cast, he stood true to his native
State and never faltered in his devotion
to her that he served her both IL cQun-
Gil and the field, III the Confederate
Congress ana with Stonewall Jackson,
that although his house was burned by
the same vandal who presided at the
murder Of Mrs. Su.ratt, Gen. Hunter,
and his family scattered, he never turn
ed away from the right, but followed
our flag until it went down at Apo
mattoX. And now in this time of in
capacity and corruption, his ripe expe-
rience, scholarly attaiuments and unap
oroachable integrity would commend
him to the best men Of all parties. lie
las lived in quiet since thc war, but we
nope to hear his voice soon again upan
he husliugs. With him once more on
.he floor Of Congress, we would begin to
see a better representation for Virginia
and the Southin our national legislation.
