THE CONGRESSIONAL CONTEST IN THE Sth
DISTRICT. The contest between MIR. James
Barbour aud General Eppa Huuton is waxing
warm, and we are to have more excitement
than is usual in contest between gentlemen.
Macy good men are on either side, aud are
working like beavers for their respective
friends.
Whilst Mr.. Barbour is very able man, and
possesses great desire tor seat 10 the Con-
gress of the United States, General Huuton is
equally endowed with natural capacity; was
called from the pursuits OF private life to serve
his people, and defended Virginia with his
manhood and his blood; and although his home
was on several occasions within the eneny5
lines, he never taltered where duty demanded,
and followed the waning fortunes OF bis dear
sunny South" to the last
1t has been said that his main act is that
she dyed the waters of the Potomac with the
blood of the sous of Massachusetts. What
greater claim can any man have upon the last
Ing gratitude AID support OF every mao who
loves Virginia. and has felt the paDgs OF pow
erty, than he, who, at every step, contended
with those who not only mercessly robbed the
people of Virginia, but of the whole South?
As Maccullum Moore said: when the heart
ceases to vbrate at the touch of that chord,
may it cease to beat and lie cold beneath the
sod -
What care we whether Gen. Hunton is in
accord with President Grant and Congress or
not? What can we expect from them
Havu't we had enough? robbed of our child.
rem, our fortunes, and our happiness for llfee.!
Then to the polls every lover of the South in
the Eighth Congressional district and vote for
the hero of Balls Bluff. He is capable, he is
honest; aud IAN honest man is the nobest
work of God. "
The negroes are, in a very great degree, iden.
tilted with the tranquility and prosperity Of
the Southern people, and are depend ent upon
them for their daily bread No one in the South
desires to re-enslavc them, but still they are
constantly arrayed against the white race
Every negro who knows General Hunton has
great respect for and confidence in him, and
they should manifest their appreciation of him
by polling good, square vote for him 10 No
vember. It will be good for them, and they
will realize it. ARGUS.
