was that given 10 him by, his dis
tinguished attainments, and the
fact that he Ras'- considered a
staunch. member of the party
which had honored hjm with high
position in its ranks
Gel. Walton's present move is,
we cannot but Believe. actuated
by personal and. selfish motives.
He expects to be an indepen dent
candidate for Conssoss from the
Fifth District, and looks to the
National Republican Executive
Committee .'for thai comfort and
aid and encourssdlne at tEai will
lteieet.himyoS 10 Gpablehitl at any
IGste to make. q strong rase. This
is Col. Walton position in q nut
she'll; he cannot for ofla moment
non can any one .eiseft ssaTs resc that
he will be elected. .,,9'tIis district
belongs To the Democracy, and the
Democracy will not permit its as
tendency to Be destroyed by Col.
Walton. " -!
The conversion Of tiis gentle
man to Republicanism comes at
rather late day, and We ire sur
prised at the gentleman, too, for
permitting the conversion to
take place at time whom the
heretofore bright star, Of Republi-
canism is on the .wane. If he has
personal ends to serve, the defeat
Of the Republican party will not
enable him to accomplish them,
and all his political aspirations,
for all future time. villa be destroy
ed by the overthrow of that party.
which now seems imminent. Col.
Walton stood by tbs Democracy
i'm its darkest hours, :apd though
not q great leader IN the party, Of
ten gave wise counsels -and'excel-
lent advice, and;it igsofbrtcsrctted
that when the &fonnss at the
party seem to be at lood- tide, he
deserts it. His abandonment Of
the Democratic party means moth
ing more than the DETECTION of
one single individual, and if the
gentleman has taken this course
from the motives we surmise, he
will not only have shown a lack of
his usual good judgment and wise
foretheught; but will bring go
much of odium upon himself that
his hitherto bright regard viii ,be
sullied beyond recognition
There will be found Republicans
IN the district who wilt herald
Col. Walton,s assertion .Uf~ his
party as a sign of the, ,Howing
strength of.the Republican rpresi-
DENTAL ticket in the Fifth Di strict,
but thinking meh' who knew the
record Of Col. Walton, will know
that he carries nothing out Of the
! party but his own vote, and that
his loss to the Democracy will be
40 slight that he will never be
missed by it, except upon occa
sions when the Offices are being
parcelled out.-Vldslia Sentinel
