may rcotlcncn OF equal abilities aud Ecilt,
who could rcprca :nt them quite as ably and,
perhaps, more tcc ptabiy ana satisfactorily mac
the present incumbent.
Among lhesc candIdatcg fvr popular favor,
VIC might uumo Col. X. ii. Lee Of Clarke, in
wLo-c veins lu1s some OF the best blood OF our
rcuoIu,i0nlry patriots and one who has lnbcr-
tied both the virtues and talcCts Of his ltu;trl.
ons ancestry. His abilities rs a lawyer have
placed him 10 The front rank 81 his profession,
Will. his mild aHablc aud couciIIatlng manners
Doth in biz personal and professional relations,
have secured to hin, where known, much
larger share Of personal popularity than any
other candidate EGw before the people. II
military tcrvIcc9 are any Recommendation 70
political preicrmcut, Col. Ice $ military record
will compare i.voraJ!y with Gen. lluntOn's.
While Geo. lIun,o1 i1ycd the comforts and
ate service Col. Lee shouldcrcd his muSkct,
entered the ranks as private, shared the futigues
privatioDs and exposure OF the common soldier
until By his galiantry and good conduct, lie was
| promoted TO lifn!nnnnoy. lilo ot,ll bcern tho
mark OF severe wound received in the bloody
engagc1ncnt Of K:ro3town So much for Col.
Lees military record.
OF one thing We are we'll assured; II Col. lac
should be elected 10 Congress, he will be salts
fled with the pay Of s. 900 per session, aud
vii! not leave his scat during the session OF
Congress TO practice in the different courts OF
this dstrc: az is the custom ut present with
certain representatives.. Ii the pay Of s. 900
is not suff cicDt thrs" congressman should re-
sign the public service and devote themselves
exclusively to the practice OF thcir profession.
When an Individual assumes TIC dulles and
responsibilities Of representative 10 Congress,
his time and attention belopg exclusively to his
constituents who had elected Tim to this re
Eponslblo position.
No reasonable person can fad t4u:t with
General llun,Ou's c0urs, AZ Il member OF The
electoral commission, because what he did, Was
done ia the interest OF peace, lJr which &c
give him full credit.
10 giving preference to Col. Ice, we DO not
object to General lluuton either politically or
personally, bat believe him to be hiPhtoncd,
I
| duties 10 the best OF his ability, whether to the
satisfaction Of the public or not remains to be
decided by tic people At the next cItc!on.-
| But che thag is ccrtain there is Il wide
spread aud general dissatisfaction among the
people With the acts and doings Of the last
Democratic Congress. Its Legislation has been
almost exclusively 10 the interest of party,
! while measures Of great national Importance
have been totally neglected. CT made snbssr.
Went to party legislation. Thousands Of dol. |
lGr5 have bcrn rasEly Eqnanlcred in useless aud |
| expensive Investigations, now in session at the
different watering places, at the expense of the
people, wtl the ostcnsible purpose Of inVcat
gazing election frauds, when, 10 fact, their
main OF iect il to advance the political fortune
| CT individual members or to furnish political |
clpita Tor tho approaching elections. Such |
criminal waste Of public funds while there il so
much suffering in the country, should meet
