The Third Congregational District.

inston. there sets, as the representative of the |
people of the Third Congressional District
of Illinois, the man notorious all over the |
Union, as Owen Lovejoy, the Abolitionist--
He is looked upen in the House 10y conser /
vative men Of all parties as one OF those pests
which political revolutions and excitemenis
throw upon the service OF public affairs and
which, while they arc useless for any good
purpose, and are all stunned by honest men,
serve only to degrade the character OF Con
cress emLittcr the already acid waters Ct
political contention, and often cause men 10
doubt the capacity Of man for selfgOvern-
ment. Owen Lovejoy is in that House OF
Representatives what the horned horse is in
the menagerie he is regarded as u monstros-
ity unfit for ordinary business and uses,
and remarkable only for the vicousness OF
his tempeI, and the unreasonable use Of his
heels.
Lovejoy is about as much practical beno-
fit to the people Of his district, or of the
State, as would be representative carved
from wood, with a brass bell and clapper SER
wing the purpose of head. lie bellows oc-
casonly in the House, but good sized bell
would make a greater noise I; he votes when
his name is called, but an automaton could
be made to do that; he draws his pay and
mileage but the veriest blockhead IN the
land could be taught to do that with perfect
accuracy. And making noise, voting, and
drawing his pay is all that Owen LovsJoy
can do, or ever has done In Congress II
would be well that his membership was con-
fined in it's effects to these acts, but his name,
his noise, and his votes are OF the most IN
;n,ious character. lie is an avowed enemy
of the Constitution; from his lips constant
iy fall the most rbald speeches concerning
"A a. 81, Fr,s # he | uip
dear. To him the bullying threat and the
insulting taunt are most natural. His whole
aim and purpose in Congress is to render
himself notorious for the Ipfamy Of his po!it-
zeal sentiments, and TO hold up before the
country the people of the Third Ds'rc, OF
Illinois as responsible for and as endorsers
for his airociouS principles.
He declares aud he does TO with truth,
that he represents one OF the most beautiful
portions of the West HIS district enibra-
ces some Of the most fertile, growing, and
productive counties in Illinois. HIS district
includes every variety Of soil, and Il peoIled
with every class Of iaborers. HIS constItu-
ents are farmers, mechanica, miners, and
men Of almost every industrial pursuit. Ills
constituents, a whole, are as intelligent
and as educated, and We have every reason
10 believe as patriotic, as the same body OF
men IN aay other parl of the Union. IL is
the boat OF this man Lovgj0y, when he ut
; tiers sentiments on the floors OF Congress
that would disgrace any other man than him
. self and under which no other man could
/ hope TO holdi flee q day, that the people OF
his distIi I by electIng him as endorsers OF,
and responsible lor what he says. So great
is the power Of this man Tor evil, that LIN
. coin, who endeavsrs TO clear his skirts OF
abolitionism elsewhere, no sooner enters
. Loveiov's district than he puts on the garb
Of abolitionisn, and boasts Of being one IN
sentiment, in heart and in feeling, with
brother Lov.joy. Men in La Sale, m VIII
' in De Witt, IN keudall, in Livingston, and
Mclean, in Putnam, Vermillon, and k4nk-
skee, who would prefer 10 be convicted Of
theft TO beng suspected Of abolitionism, cry
out that they wish some providence wou!d
relieve the State and ti,e district OF LovoJoy
and vet they vote for him. |, matters not
that Levrjoy dcnounces the ccH.titution,
thu, lie de ores the Union wiki accursed
. Shareholders, tina; he pronounces Gay tu-
gitive slave act, 40 abUrnna rs, that he holds
. Fillmore as " man upon whom God has
affixed the mark OF Cain - it matters not
that he dareS and dcfies the " higS of his
district 10 70 against hin, or Couiem his
principles by refusing to re elect him. these
Cd Wing Americans, and national men all
knecl down and pay allegiance tn the most
I consuma,e knave that has ever di>sraced the
political character of any party in any State.
Owen Lovrlov Is once more candid te
for Congress lie ,sain ASKS the votes of
the people Of his district, and lie asks t csc
votes as an endorsement Of his Aboiisioni>m
and of his past course IN Congress He
again defies that friends Of Clay, OF Criuen-
den, and OF Fillmore to vote against him
He puts them at defiance and darcs them to
refuse TO endorse him.
In tina; same district there is another can
didatc. and an opponent OF Owen Loveioy,
GEORGE w. ARMSTRONG, has been placed
before the people bv the Democratic party
as the ,pponen, of Lovejoy. We know him
well. We say only whist we know " hen We
declare that Illinois, in all her limits, from
extremity 10 extremity, from circumference
TO the center, does not contain a man more
pure, more honest, and more exemplary in
all the relations Of lie than George ". Arm
strong. He is hard wo' king man, a son
of toll, who owes only u his own industry
and integrity that he possesses, but, above all
that higher appreciation and universal res
pect which is voluntarily yielded To him by
all who know him. He Is man of strong
mind, Of the most liberal principles, and VINO
.
jecis that was not rational. He is Demo
crat-a firm, unyiclding Democrat one whe
never ,amIered with Abolliionisrn, and con
seauent,y has never been de6ed by contac,
with it.
These two men, so opposite in ali things
personal and Political, are the candidates for
Congress in the third district. The ole
Wings and Americans and national mer
who have hitherto voted against the Demo
cratic party, have to chose between thes'
two. viii they again endorse Owen Love
joy, or will they, by voting for Armstrong
relieve themselves and their district from
, the odium which must attache to both 10y
the reelection Of such notorious, blatant
and INSCRIPTIONS Abolitonist as their pres
ent Representatives.
