The Cass County Republican. [volume] (Dowagiac, Mich.) 18??-1880, 1858-08-26


We have studiously avoided any ref
erence whatever to nominations that
were about to be made, either State or
Congressional, preferring to allow the
people to make their own selections,
and exercise whatever preferences they
might have. We do not now propose
to express any preferences of our own,
but to simply make known the senti-
ments of the mass of the Republican
party of this county, inasmuch as no
resolutions were passed to that effect
at the County Convention, as to their
choice for Congressman. We feel con-
fident that we express the sentiments
of the Republicans of Cass county in
saying that they prefer Hon. Henry
Waldron to any candidate whose name
may come before the Convention to
assemble on Wednesday next. Such
was the unanimous choice of the dele
gates at the Convention, freely made
known in conversation, although it was
not deemed .expedient to pass resolu-
tons to that effect; but if such a reso-
luton had been offered, it would have
passed without dissenting voice. And
while they announced themselves will
ling to accept of any other man that
might be nominated, strong prefe-
renee was manifested for the present
able incumbent. There is no doubt
but that Cass County would cast a
larger vote in favor of Hon. Henry
Waldron than for any other person that
can be nominated. = 80
The people are well pleased with the
course of Mr.. Waldron. They look
upon his action in Congress with feel
ings of commentator they know him
to be staunch Republican; he has
shown himself to be wise and able
legislator. They have the utmost con-
fidence in his integrity and ability, and
have not the least doubt of his warm
attachment to the cause of Human
Freedom. Several of the different
County Conventions that have been
held in this Congressional District for
the appointment of delegates, &c, took
occasion to pass resolutions commend
atory of the course of Mr.. Waldron,
some Of which we append.
The Republicans of Monroe, at their
County Convention, unanimously adopt
ed the following resolution: ii
Resolced, That the Republicans of
this County highly approve the course
of our Representative, Hon. Henry
Waldron, in Congress, and fully en-
dorse his course; and that the great
wrong to the Nation, to the Territory
of Kansas, and to the cause of Human
Freedom, strenuously and studiously
persisted in by the past and present
despotic Administration, has in Mr.
Waldron ever found true, active and
able opponent, and we accord to him
the need of ever faithful and true.
At the Hillsdale County Convention
the following resolutions were present
ed and unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the Republicans O
the County of Hillsdale take pleasure
on this occasion in expressing thei
hearty approval of the Congressiona
action of the Hon. Henry Waldron
and their undated confidence in him
in view of the fact that he has dis
charged every trust, firmly, ably ant
faithfully. orm a So
! Resolced, That the Republicans. o
the County of Hillsdale, pledge thei
support to the nominee of the Congress
sional Convention, whoever he may be
yet, at the same time they present thu
name of the Hon. Henry Waldron a.
their first choice, and they pledge hin
in his own County a larger majority
than they can give to any other candi
date.
The following resolution was offered
and unanimously adopted at the St
Joseph County Convention: - iao
