Wheeling, W. Va. (West Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 6
s wanted is a wise and thoughtful statesman, calm amid the storm of revolution, patriotic, conciliatory, and just, possessed of solid information and a ripe judgment, and gifted with the eloquence to clothe his arguments in an attractive form. Many excellent and able names have been presented for this office; but it is no disparagement to any of them to express our conviction that no one of them seems to possess these qualifications in so eminent a degree as the Hon. Charles W. Russell, of Wheeling. The considerations already adduced would lead us to prefer this gentleman; but other arguments are not wanting. His private character is irreproachable. Although living in a section of the State where so many have bowed the knee to the infamous yoke of Abolition, he has ever been, in word and deed a true Virginian--"faithful found among the faithless." A large practice and a considerable property — the fruit of half a life of constant labor and honorable exertion — were sacrificed

In the House of Representatives he is justly regarded as one of the ablest men of the body, and the ression, it is not unreasonable to conjecture that the choice of the Legislature will fall upon Mr. Russell; and as no possible objection can be urged to him, we believe his election would give general
William Ballard Preston (search for this): article 6
[Communicated]the Senatorial election. The time is approaching for the meeting of the Legislature of this State. One or its first duties, it may be assumed, will be the choice of a proper person to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr. Wm. Ballard Preston. In him the Commonwealth has lost a public servant of unquestioned patriotism, of great purity in private life, and ripe experience in official duty. We have every confidence in the Legislature about to assemble that it will take care to select one not less competent. The times imperatively require us to choose our strongest man, without regard to personal or old party distinctions. All must desire to see Virginia represented in a manenr worthy of her past renown and present high position in this great struggle for independence. What is wanted is a wise and thoughtful statesman, calm amid the storm of revolution, patriotic, conciliatory, and just, possessed of solid information and a ripe judgment, and gifted wi
