II will doubtless bcagiccable news

learn tnat General Lqnghorno Wis.
tor who distinguished him scifin til,
war for the Union and WAS wounded
at the battle of Gettysburg, II son OF
William Wistor, Esq, OF German
town. has been nominated by the
Republicans for Congress ia the
Scvcnteoth district, composed of the
counties Of Franklin, huntingdon.
Juniata, Terry, Snyder and Fulton.
This district is a fair canvass, is Rc-
publican 10y nearly II thousand ma
io,ity, though it is now represented
by Mr.. Speer, Il Democrat, and can
be easily carried by united effort in
tho several counties; and this W,
are assured will be made, rs the en-
tire district is harmonious and ex-
hibits @ laudable enthusiasm on til,
Congressional nomination.
We desire to say TO our contem-
poraries in the district that the dis.
tinction could have been conferred
on no one more worthy of it, AL
though General Wister is sound rs
well as n profound Republican, he is
not n politician in any accepted sense
of the word We have known him
from his boyhood, and we speak from
the record when we say that no man
character stands higher; that he il
above and beyond the scmblancc of
conccalmcnt or tcrgiyersation aud
that if he should be elected to Con,
grcss, rs he assurelly ought to be,
he will prove to be an intelligent,
watchful, straight forward and in
conuptible Representative such as
every honest Democrat rs well as
Republican ought to desire to see
there.
