For the Cass County Republican.


For the Cass County Republican.
HIlLsDALE Co., Oct. 9, 1853.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN Dear Ser =
Your county being somewhat closely
allied with this in politics, (being in the
same Congressional district,) / thought
perhaps few lines from sojournerhere
might be interesting to your readers.
And this being the home of the Hon.
Henry Waldron, few words as to his
home prospects and popularity might
be read with interest by his many warm
friends in Cass County.
Old Hillsdale seems to be fully awake
as to the Importance of the present
contest. The Republicans are up and
doing, and although little dissatisfac-
ton exists in regard to the local affairs
of the county, everything seems to be
going on in the right direction as to
the great political questions of the day.
Local difficulties are to be regretted,
and should be deprecated by every
true friend of his party. They certain
y result in no great good, and too often
the only thing sought is personal ag-
grandizement, which can only result in
great injury to the party in general.
All "bones" should be picked clean
before and at convention, and if de-
gree of unfairness is manifested, in
regard to the nominations being made,
it should be exposed and remedied at
such convention, and nothing should
be heard of it afterward, but acork
should be the order of the day. Self
nominations seldom create anything
more than feeling of disgust in the
minds of all true partizans, and can
only result to the detriment of both the
person so announced and the party in
general.
True Republican sentiment seems to
be on the increase in this county, and
if harmony prevails for few years
hence, the last vestige of locofocoism
now having an existence in the county
will be entirely wiped out. $50 mote
it be-" should be the response of al
who regard the great principles fol
which we contend of greater interes,
than the qualification of personal figures
and the carrying out of mere selfish
ideas. "Not that we love Caesar less
but that we love Rome MORE" should
be the motives that actuate in all such
matters.
AS to the home popularity of the
Hon. Henry Waldron, person has
but to take a trip over the country te
be fully convinced. "He is the mos
popular man in the county," is the ex
preston which greets you from boil
his political friends and opponents
We heard good old Democrats cleo
tioneering to the best of their abilit,
for him, saying that they honored anc
respected him as man. Hillsdal
may well feel proud, and she does fee
proud, of the many gifted men residing
within her limits. And the peopl
never let an opportunity pass, whel
proffered, of making known their warn
attachment to these noble men. The,
will give the candidates upon the ticke
from their county a noble majority thi
fall. The Democrats concede to tn
Republicans the county by 1000 ma
|jority. Upon such an admission w
should think it perfectly safe to pu
down the Republican majority at 1900
because when Democrats are forced t
admit truth, they are apt to pinch !
dozen if possible. From the enthusi
asm prevailing among the Republican
and the hopelessness expressed by tn
Democracy, we should consider oil
Hillsdale good for at least from 200
to $500 Republican majority on tn
State and Congressional candidate
this fall! Who says less? The Re
publicans here say more It'll believe
here that the Hon. Henry Waldron wi
run ahead of the regular ticket in tn
county. Yours in haste, N.
Ocean Steamers Lost.
