OUR NEXT CoNGREssMAN..
The Requirements of the Candidate
.-TVhO Is the Man that Can Slay the
TrRItOrs!--HOn. Sherrard Clemens
Supposed to be the IndividuRI--A
Strong Appeal on His Behalf.
[From the Mlldlebnurne Plainleaier.l l

From the MiddcLournc PainIcaier.l
This week VIC put up the name of Mr..
Clemens for Congress. He has served the
district as u Representative for the last
fonr years. Four years ago he was nOmi-
mated in convention without opposition, u
compliment never bcfor paid to any man
in the district; and his nomination was
confirmed by the people at the polls, by
giving him an overwhelming minority
Two years ago the same high compliment,
was again paid to him, both by Conven-
tion and the people; although every effort
possible, both honorable and dishonorable,
was made on the part of tricksters, dema-
gGgues and cliques to defeat him: All
this showed that Nj. Clemens had hold
upon the people which no other man
cOuld ever hope to obtain. He still lives
i'll their henrts more than ever, and the
announcement of his name, and the sound
of his voice will again call them without
respect to party, to our standard. In for
mer years he has been our counsellor and
friend, and he is yet with US, able and
willing to advise. His time his strength
aud his means have been given to US and
! to our cause. Bold, fearless and indepeu-
dent, he has SHRINK from no rrsponsihiii-
ty, refused to perform no duty, but has al
! ways been ready to answer the call Of his
party and his country.
At this time he is the man, and the only
man That can unite the district in harmo-
mons action. Although he supported
! Rrerkinridge, he has tho confidence of all
/ parties, aud is the only man that can unite
them. No mntter what his party relations
have been, ne hns ever held the good of
| his country above all Although in the
midst of Seccssionists, and surrounded by
everything that was calculated to draw
him off, he stood up in the City of New
Orleans and with boldness characteristic
| of the man. denounced the shot and inle-
cent haste" of South Carolina, and declar-
ed for the Union. And since, in the City
of Wheeling, in the midst of those
who are seeking to accuse him, in
the face of those who are graphing
for his old shoes, lie stood mp for the
Union; and rcfuted the pitiful charge Of
unsoundncss made against him, because
he loved the Union. He denounced the
clique, and denounced their editor as "G man
not get aJoue the dignity Of a tit-d miserable
punV fedgling, ,"-dnd Their newspaper as a
"6dstdra progeny of the Arquv.''
He then declared his unwnvering adhe-
renee to the principles of the democratic
party, but said "Gentlcmen, if to be dis
unionist, if to be tcnrer down of the
American Flug which gives protection
everywhere to every American citizen-it
to be fre-eater, South Carolina saln-
mander, is to be a democrat, am no long
er n democrat"
Such is the man we now want in Con.
gress, nnd such is Sherrard Clemens
