~: 1T may be that you would like to hear


.S'abiup from this quarter. On the subject of our
SOl-.r,i hing elections. as | communications
eta, o,Lar quarters on that subject. As to the


lIO.,nor's election. there is but little said but so
s'r as am capable of Judging. Roane, in all pro-
taisv will be the man; Thornton is almost en-
80 unknown here. As 10 our member to Con-
w.. u.... Jndge Oldham and Wilson are the only
go that are spoken of; they are both from the
Nj. west. and we are by all means in favor of
Nor,bern man for Congress. | have been of
the oniuion that Wilson would get the nomination
from this coy, IN the event that this county
sboud hold meeting, but from the best informa-
t;on am able TO gather at present, think the
matter extremely doubtful. WILSON, has as much
nersonaI popularity in this county as any man,
bu OTdham's qualifications areconsidered at least
equal 10 those of any man in the State. Some
psrsons arc inclined TO raise objections TO Will
sons age and want of experience. Oldham is in
every way calculated to make US better Repre-
sentative. Be these matters as they may, we will
most assuredly support the nomination Of the con-
yenlion and we have no fears of him being South
ern man. lam truly sorry that both of the pro-
ninent aspirants for Congress are from the North,
Is their claims may be troublesome to settle in
the convention, and IN the event an independent
,andldate in the field, and may be whig elected
o Congress again.
