HON. A. M. WADDELL.
The Fayetteville Gazette SAYS:

HON. A. M. WADDELL.
The Fayetteville Gazette says:
"Ool. Waddell has been out upon
his canvass now q little over q week,
and the political sky could not look
brighter. He spoke on Monday at
Smiths Mill in Black River Township,
to large audience, and his address,
which is spoken of as very powerful
and eloquent, Mas productive of
marked and beneficial effect. The
Democratic vote in that section will be
largely increased. and substantial ac-
cessions are now>being made in honest
Repub licans who have become dis
gnsted with Radical corruption, and
are leaving the party. 81
On Tuesday Col. Waddell spoke at
Little River Academy. The meeting
there was very crafty ing and enthu-
siastic. The gifted orator made q
splendid effort, in which he carried
with him both the minds and hearts of
his hearers
He was followed by Messrs. Troy
and Rose, and d. III. Mclean, of Har-
nett. At Little River Academy four
Republicans declared themselves for
the Democracy in this contest.
Col. Waddell spoke here on yester-
day at the market house. His
speech was mastery portrayal
of the misrule of the Federal admin
istratiou-its extravaganza, corruption
and dishonesty-and was listened to
with pleased and strict attention
throughout by both his white and COL
ored hearers, of the latter of whom
there we're good many present, and
whom we congratulate upon their re-
spectful and intelligent attention.
This District will return Hon. a. M.
Waddel to Congress by a splendid
majority.
After the address of Col. Waddell,
Mr.. q. Fuller addressed the crowd on
the Constitutional Amendments and
general political questions. Those
who know this gentIeman's abilities
and fine power as a debater need from
MS no commentator of his speech. In
the discussion of the amendments, es.
pecially he is powerful, as is evidenced
by his able papers recently published
| in the Gazette.
A prominent citizen of Washington
City. whose childhood and youth were
passed in Fayetteville, writes to tn.
Gazette the following commendatior
of Hon. A. M. Waddell, which will re
ceive the hearty Endorsement of th'
people of this district:
| "Hon. A. M. Waddell deserves to b,
returned to Congress by largely in
creased majority. He is always at hi
post of duty in this city. He is recog
nized by all parties as one of the trues
and best representatives in the House
Ae is credit to his constituency, ant
his eminent qualifications have marked
him as one of the leading statesmen o
the South. His long continued ant
faithful service in Congress gives hin
sway and opportunities for usefulness
that no other candidate could possibl
command. Every such opportunity i
honorably used by him in the per
Torrance of duties that rebound to tn
good of all his constituents. N,
doubt he is a partisan in the contest
fearless advocates always are, bu
when ell Jcted and seated he becomes
true representatives. his district an.
all it's people and its interests.
I write of Col. Waddell from m,
own knowledge and personal obse rva
