Hon. James R. Hubbell.
The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette has been trying for some time to demolish Secretary Seward, but finding he was not making much headway, turned his battery upon Mr. Hubbell, of the Delaware district, with about the same effect. The charges he made against this gentleman were of such a nature as to damage Mr. Hubbell very materially in the estimation of persons who did not know him; but, with those who did know him, it had no such effect. The correspondent aforesaid now retracts all he has charged against Mr. H., and testifies to his unionism and his ability and usefulness as a member of the popular branch of the American Congress.
We take pleasure in adding our own favorable testimony in behalf of Mr. Hubbell, than whom we know no man in the House who stands fairer as a true blue unionist and zealous and efficient worker in the interests of his immediate constituents and the country generally. The people of the Delaware district will "miss the mark" if they do not return Mr. Hubbell to the next Congress.—Coshocton Age.
