FIFTH DISTRICT POLITICS.
Mr.. wATsON's SENSIBLE TALK.
ICtr. of the Greensboro PItciot

Tor. Of the Greensboro Patriot
Mr.. Cy Watson, of Winston, says:
zone of the greatest political evils Of
the day IS, each newspaper in every
town in the district picks out its man
for office and rings the changes on his
manifold virtues, ETC., ETC., thereby
causing discord among the voters of
their immediate sections, until it is al
most impossible for the nominee to get
the full vote of the Democrats in the
district" He advises all Democrats
to stop this pickering, to decide on
their man and stick to the one nomi-
mated, solidly, and we shall carry our
man through triumphantly at the next
election.

The woods are full of candidates
already aspiring for Congressional
honors. But we suppose that the ma
iority of these would be candidates
are, through their friends, doing their
own piping, and all modest men who
may be fully competent, and in every
respect available, pass by without pub
lie notice. So in order to bring a
man before the public, who is too mod
est to blow his own horn, we will men,
ton the name of Col. John NJ. Gala
way, whose antecedents are known to
all of Rockingham people. He stood
staunchly on all occasions by the good
old Democratic ship, except when the
common principles of honest govern
ment made him conscientiously swerve
for the benefit of the people, which in
his estimation is of more Importance
than blind party fealty. This places
him more in accord with the popular
sentiment, and makes him a strong
man. We say this without saying
aught against the many good men now
spok en- of by the press.

Now the question is, who is to re-
deem the district? We believe it
best to select candidate at this time,
of not much record unless it is re-
markably healthy, most assuredly he
should not have a revenue record
and although we have a Carter,
Graves, Dobson, LlewelIn. Folger,
&c, whom we would delight 10 honor,
we are willing to forego for the pres.
ent. And in order to make things
doubly sure, after surveying the
whole field, we believe that Cyrus
B. Watson, of Winston, is the man
that should be chosen. We believe
in the Office seeking the man, and
that the people ought to have much
to do in selecting him. G. B. Watson
was raised farmer boy, and, there.
fore, is the better enabled to sympath.
ize with those who bear the budget
and the apron. He. is Of spotless rep
-utstion, as to his ability he needs nc
enconium from Us. He is a strong
stumper, has a hold upon the masses
that few other possess, and would have
comeito the front long ago if it had
not been for his extreme modesty, and
would perhaps come as near standing
Washington City society as any man
we could elect. 3. w. Fries, who is q
thoroughly trained practical business
man, who is very strong at home and
favorably known throughout the dis
trict, would also we think give salts
faction. And A. Fl. A, Williams, d,
Granville, We presume possesses al
the required requisites, as he Is very
popular with his own, which il y very
intelligent and refined c0nsLituency
He would be acceptable 70 our people
