A Beautiful And Consistent Record.

The special correspondent of the Charleston News, writing from Chester, gives the following particulars concerning Wallace, the Radical candidate in the Fourth District:

Before closing this communication, I would mention that the Radicals nominated A. S. Wallace, of York for Congress, who since the war has been a blatant Unionist, and thereby became United States Internal Revenue Collector. He swallowed the test oath without the slightest sign of strangulation, although it is said he assisted in raising a company for the war. He is a most unscrupulous man and will use any and every means for his election. To show the stupidity and ignorance of the negro, no better illustration can be given than the choice of this man Wallace as their candidate. In 1858 he introduced into the Legislature a bill to sell the old free negroes back into slavery. One would suppose such a political record as this would have damned him with them forever. When, however, the very choicest Radical is one who was formerly a negro trader, one is not astonished that a Radical Congressman (to be perhaps) should be selected, whose strongest recommendation is that he set on foot the most unjust and odious measure ever attempted, to wit: To sell a people into slavery who were born free, and their freedom guaranteed to them by the laws.
