The CAND1DArrs roR CoNaRrss !

THE CANDIDATES FOR CONGRESS IN
THIS D1sfRrcT.-Mr. MOORE, the Wing
nominee, is well known to most of the
citizens of this district as a sound law
yer and an honest and able Legislator.
His long residence in Ohio has identi-
fed him with its interest, and given to
our people an opportunity to become ac-
quainted with his character, opinions,
and ability; all of which have been en-
dorsed whenever they have been sub
ject to the decision of the people. Twice
he has been a member of the Ohio Le-
gislature; once as a member of the
House from Scioto county, and once
represented that Senatorial district,
(which by the way then contained Lo-
cofoco majority J in the Senate. As he
has hitherto proved, we believe him
now to be wholly worthy Of the united
support of the people at the polls.
OF Mr.. DAVIS we know but little. He
removed from Kentucky into Ohio, on
ly about a year and half ago, and is a
comparative stranger to the people of
the district. The Ironton Register,
Portsmouth Tribune and other papers in
this district, have been informed by
those who have known him for many
years, that formerly he was downright
abolitionist, but is now, fact which he
does not deny, the owner of some twelve
slaves in the State of Kentucky. Of
this gentleman we never heard until his
nomination. We now are told that he
stands upon the Baltimore platform and
is unequivocally in favor of the Nebras-
ka Bill, two things, in our opinion, ut
terly inconsistent. Be that as it may,
that platform and the repeal of the Mis-
souri, Compromise are two things that
never met the approval of the people of
this Congressional District.
Here are presented two persons to
the people of this District-one is well
known. an old resident. has repeatedly
proved worthy of our conference.-the
other fresh importation from another
State, where his interest and sympathies
still remain-he is the representative of
principles that have never met the ap-
proval of any considerable portion of
the people of this district--the one is a
stranger to us in person and in princi-
pies, the other a known friend and of
approved principles. Who viii hesitate
to support Hon. OSCAR F. MOORE. Let
Gallia county give him right cheering
majority.
