nation to fill the vacancy in our representation
in Congress, occasioned by the death of our late
gallant and esteemed representative, Col. P. S.
Brooks. The highly complimentary terms in

with the position, as well as the solicitations
from esteemed and cherished friends, in many
parts of our Congressional District, have deeply
affected the best feelings of my heart, and crea.

Permit me, therefore, to return through you,
my most grateful acknowledgements for the hon.

not feel ut liberty to decline the nomination, al
though it is accepted at no small personal sac.

Of praise for the love that ne'er' wearies, nor

Teach him, that pleasure on earth neer was born,
Like earth's lovely roses without any thorn,
That the flowers that glide adown life's troubled
stream
Are fading away like that life in dream.
These are life's sterner teachings, now come to

And strew there thy flowers all freshness and

The bright human flowers lie withercd and dead

TO THE VOTERS OF THE 4th CONGRESSIONAL
DIaTRICT

We arc on the eve of the election for Congress
and yet there is strange apathy, manifest irdif-
ference among the people on the subject which is
unexplanable Is not the post of Representative
to Congress one of great Importance under exist
ing circumstances. There will be some grave is
sues brought before the next Congress. We want
a want man there to take our interest in charge,
nerved by the confidence of the people; and how
is this confidence to be manifested =? Considering
the unbounded popularity Of our late Representa-
tive it is all important that the successful candi
date be lie who he may, should be sent there by a
large vote lie should le backed by the voices of
a large majority of his constituents This will
give him influence; this will strengthen his ener-
gies and enable him 10 stand to his post and hurl
defiance at the Black-R publicans III their cease
less war upon our rights.
The career of our late Representative was short
and Brilliant his position was one of commanding
influence; he had surpassed the expectations Of
his friends; he proved himself equal to every
emergency; his talents were felt and acknowl-
edged he struck terror into his enemies by his
gallant bearing; he had drawn the attention Of
the people from all parts of the Union he was cut
off in the zenith of his glory lament.d by the
whole South. The successor of p. S. BROOKS will
therefore very naturally attract the attention Of
the people in every section. This will make him
conspicuous. A small vote under these circum-
stances will embarrasS him. Let us bestir our
selves; let one and all turn out on the first Mon
day in May aud give our candidate strong vote,
50 that the successful one may feel that he has the
confidence of his constituents. We owe it to our
candidate, to the country and to ourselves to give
a large vote. a VOTER.
