tap or teat. It is not only impor-

OH1o.-The voters in GARrIELD's
district are determined to prevent his
denomination this fall if possible; but
if he should succeed in managing the
convention, public feeling is 50 strong
against him among bis former suppor-
ters that he would have very poor
prospect of reelection. His Credit
Mobilier transactions and his salary
grab record had already degraded
him in the eyes Of his constituents
when the revelation Of his complicity
in the Ring paving frauds in Wash
ington came to settle all question as
to lis venality and want of moral
principle. There are not less than
three Republican candidates who are
expected to appear in the field
against him in the nominating con-
vention; but the Importance Of pre-
venting the district from being further
disgraced is so fully appreciated that
it is probable the opposition will
speedily unite upon the man who is
deemed the strongest. Nearly all
the county conventions in the district
formally condemned GAEF1ELD's S
course in Congress last year, and this
fall, if he should attempt to run, he
will hear directly from the people.

~ candidate for Congress
Who Shall He he?

The time is at hand when the De.
mdcracy Of this Congressional. Dis
trictshould be coming to a conclusion
as their choice of candidate tor
seat in the next Congress of the
| United States. The names Of several
! pro- b cad distinguished gentle
||iHSzs havS already bean mentioned in
this connsotion, either one Of whom
if elected, would reflect honor and
credit upon their constituency. Our
last weeks issue contained q very
Aattering notice in this connection
taken from the Towsontown Balti-
more county Journal, in reference to
Hon. Montgomery Blair, Of Mont.
gomery county, and since then we
understand that Mr. Peter and. Mr..
Dove of the same county have also
been spoken of in very favorable
manner. In Washington county,
Colonel Andrew X. Syester, the pres
ent Attorney. General of our State,
and Major Henry Kyd Dauglas, are
urged for the nomination by their
respective friends. We do not know
that any gentleman in Allegany or
Garrett counties has been spoken of,
or desires the nomination. In Fred
erick county no one but HON. JOHN
RITCHIE has been seriously thought
of for one moment, and while be is
not seeking the nomination by any
effort. of his own. and will not, under
any circumstances, enter into a scraii-
ble to obtain it, We are gratitied to
know, and his numerous friends
throughout the whole Congressional
District will be equally gratitied to
learn, THAT HE WILL ACCEPT
THE NOMINATION If IT BE
RENDERED HIM. There are
many good reasons why Mr.. Ritchie
should be nominated. He is one Of
the nbIest men that this District ever
had in Congress. He was faithful
to the wants Of his constituents. lie
possesses great popularity among the
people, and by his merits has ingratia.
ted himself into their affection and
confidence. and be Was only borne
down and defeated, two years ago, by
the weight Of Greeley and the un-
willingness of old Democrats to go
to the polls and vote for any one who
WAS on the same ticket with Mr.. Gree

ago.-Narvland Union.
