Deception to Rebound to the
Individual Interest of John A.
Hutchinson, Republican Can
didate for Congress.
Correspondence OF the Register.
From the iniation OF the present cam
paign up to this time, it has been the
policy oi the Republican journals and
stump orators in this State, to wage, as
| far as possible, bitter war oil personal
persecution against the candidates OF
| the Democratic party AMI ignoring en-.
tirely the living and impor.an, issues oil
the day.
This appliance VAS used with unceas-
ing energy and effort against our
candidate for Governor. but instead
of ininring him, il was, doubtless, the
means OF giving him the sixteen thou.
sand majority, which he received in the
State. The people spiked their guns
which they brought TO bear on Jackson
with such Tremendous emphasis,
that We suppose they would abandon
this mode OF warfare and adopt another
system OF tactics which would give
them some show, at least, in the Con-
cressional fight; but in this we were and
are doomed to endure gallif 3 disap-
pointment again.
Now comes this battery OF slanderorS,
vi,uperation and falsehood against our
spotess and gallant Wilson.
His letter in the REGISTER of last Sat-
urlay is such a complete and triumph.
ant vindicatlon OF himself that nothing
is, or should be required oi him, or any
OF his friends further on that subject,
and no far, honorable minded man
would demand anythingadlitional from
him, or his friends, as a reputation OF
the personally malicious charges which
have been preferred against him hy his
enemies
Mr.. Wilson's votes in Congress on the
tariff question are all that can b., or
shonll be asked OF protective
thrill man, nor can it be shown
anywhere by any vote gwen by
him, that he ever voted against the in
terest of the people OF this district,
whether that interest is Of a manuiac-
| turing, or agricultural nature. No rep
resen,ative in the Congresses OF which
Mr.. Wilson has been a member, ever
more faithfully and diligently worked
for the interests of their constituency,
than Mr.. Wilson has. We have this
from prominent Northern members
themselves. We also have his praise
told us by Northern journals too. Now,
why should this personal persecution,
which has been repeated for the last
eight years against him, be renewed
again. Ii this is Mr.. liutchin-
sons only hope OF success,
this hope, too, vii! be without frnition
to him. Mr.. Wilson's voting or not
voting is a practice common among all
the members, irrespective OF party, and
is, therefore, unworthy OF notice, but,
from the fact that MIR. Hutchinson is
usin, it, as lie suppOSes, "a most eilec
tual hobby to ride in his contest with
Mr.. Wilson. This hobby will not pan
out with any profit TO Mr.. Hutchinson,
as the result will show las it did show
| in the case OF Jackson, for Governor,
for Mr.. Wilson will receive votes nov
which in all human probability he would
not have g.. but for this PERSONAL pe;S"'
| Cu,ion OF him.
Mr.. Wilson is supported by the
! leading manufacturers oi this city, such
as Mr.. Hearne, of the Riverside mills;
Mr.. Gilchrist, oi the Top mills; the
PRINCIPAL owners oi the Belmont mills;
| Mr.. VI, { purtnav, al the Brllairc mills;
Mr.. Hoffman Il sons. wholesale tanners;
! Hsines Il Co, lumber dealers; Mr..
| HOLIDAY, lumbprman; John l.. Hobbs,
! glass manufacturer, and many other
| promin, Mt business men in this city.
| Now, # Mr.. Wilson's record and votes
were not satisfactory To these distir-
| ruished business men, wOnld they lie
found supper ing him for reelection to
/ Congress?
Certainly not. But the object o. the
Republicans, and Mr.. Hutchinson a
/ their leader in this onslang L on NJ.
| Wilson, is to mislead and deceive the
workinglnen, and more particularly IN
| our CITY, because there arr more ar'I-
! zlns and w0rSingmen OF different otcu'
| pations in Wheeling than in the re-
mainder O. the district, ami it Is in this
locality, more than any other, tina. they
are working to make this glaring decep-
| ton on the workingmen sue
ccss against Mr.. Wilson. They cant
MAKE apv headwav with this nonsense
in the several parts of the district, and
their only hope is now in Ohio county.
Here, in the city OF Wheeling, We. the
worKlnymen, read and know Mr.. VII.
sons Congressional record on the tariff
question, and are perfectly satisfied
with il. AMI will return him 20 the next
Congress with the Mandatory p'audit.
We'll done my good and faithful ser.
want. enter thou upon thy fourth term,
Mr.. Hutchinson, like Mr.. Sturgiss, won't
fool many workingmen IN Wheeling
Three hundred for Jackson, 800 for
Wilson, Ohio county will say on Novem-
Der 81. NoRHiSGNEN.
