COMMUNICATIONS.

FROM THE SEVENTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT,
A great contest is before us, and if we exert our
selves properly our success will be as signal as the
contest is important Oar old enemy has changed
his war cry and his plan Of attack. He holds no
Convention openly, he holds forth no principles,
but by secret agencies and arts jugger ike. secret
ly moves his candidate on the track. Col GENTRY
is his standard bearer in the coming contest and
know-not hingism is the issue which he tenders
This issue is strong account of its secresy but
not invincible let the democracy everywhere and
for every post call their best ability ard speaking
talent into the field. Our speakers must be early
on the stump, opposing in the open light of day
this night bird Know nothingism
There are various gentlemen spoken of in the
district for our Congressional candidate, all good
democrats and men Of fine promise, but in my judg-
ment there is one peculiarly fitted for this crisis,
and eminently deserving. lie has been all his life
q democrat and has devoted much of his life to his
party. He is thoroughly yersed in the politics of
his country, and al able and efficient speaker. He
is in the prime of life, with ripe Judgment, ire
proschsble character and engaging manners
Stayed by that native modesty which is so often the
companion of merit, and desire to enjoy the
sweets of private life, he has not pushed forward
into the ranks of competition for this post But
when called by his party, the history of the past
twenty years can attest that sacrifice prevented
him responding to the call of his country. This
man is Maj Boiling GORDON.
viii he consent TO run if desired by his party
l would be glad to hear from him in reply. The
State needs the services of such men, and they
must not be suffered to retire to private life Let
the district put him at the head Of the democratic
column, and all viii be we'll so iar as his columns
extend.
For the Senate and House we must have our
most efficient men in the field. Call out speakers
of point and power, who can scatter the heeresIes
of our opponents to the wind. Let no post 60 by
default and let us have no contests among cur
friends.
ANDREW JOHNSON himself is l. tower OF
strength but we must sustain him strongly. Look
To these points and the State is safe for democracy
Yours, &c, A CONSTITUENT.
