that the delegates were unanimous in his ia

repeatedly made, snce Mr.. Cole was in Con-

his political opponents even we have had tes-
testimony of his very excellent standing a
mong his fellow members, and of the high es-
estimation in which he was held by the public
generally at the seat of government. lie has
performed his official duties with the sIriCtest
fidelity to his constituents.
He has proved himself honest, faithful and
capable, and willing to devote his best ener-
gies to the good Of his country. His correct
and upright department has won the good
opinion of all who know him, and his close at
tention TO the business in Congress has caused
his constituents to place unbCunded confidence
in him. After giving such high and general
satisfaction, we think the people of this dis
