For the National Era
NOMINATION IN THE FOURTEENTH DIS
TRICT, OHIO,

The Convention for nominating candidate
for Congress in the fourteenth district has been
held, and the policy of rotation in Office" has
tr umphed. Ofice.seekers recommend it as q
neans of party success at home, while others
regard it as mischievous element in politics,
rendering comparatively weak and inefficient
the representative force We send into the field.
All past experience in national legislation
proves that continuation in Office, not rotation,
insures success. A man accustomed to the
harness is worth two of equal ability, not yet
"broken in" 1t was to be hoped that the ex-
amples of other districts renominstirg their old
and tried candidates, ard the great Issues to be
met during the next Congressional term, would
produce unity of feeling and action for the
common cause; but petty contests between
rival candidates, local preferences and preJu.
dices, ruled out, for the time, great national
questions.
Let 20 one, however, suppose TOR moment
that the course Of Mr.. Bliss is not fully en-
dorsed by bis constituents. The voice of the
district, untram melted, is for him TO- day. The
Convention ratified the nomination of General
SPHINX, of Wayne county, by unanimous vote.
The fact that he comes from the more Pro Sla-
and true, induce the belief that the war ia the
enemy's camp will be more successfully waged
than ever before, while the two reserve coun-
ties will roll up ma orities that will show to the
enemies of Freedom ard free labor disposi
ton to sink minor considerations, VIXEN great
issues are to be met, and vital principles are
at sake. A DELEGATE
