To the Voters OF the Fourth Congrcsaion-

Ipasmuch ~ the time for the election OF e repre-
sentative in the next Congress-, Tor this district, II
approaching, we desire 10 Hsk Il few questions and
make u few suggestions. In the first place, OF what
avail will our representative, II We elect one, be u?
the next Congress7 Could he carry any bill TINT
would prof: us in the lcass degreef Could he pre-
ven: the passage Of u hill that would ruin uS! Sup
pose Virginia sent ull her representatives to the next
Congress-, could they, in ANY degree, influence the
action Of that body; Are not our lfo~ed enemies,
who Gre now holding over Us an iron rod, largely III
the n%lujorityi Do you suppose thst they VIII re-
tnct the threats which they Lavo made IL the past
and seek our wclfare2 In short, could we, could the
people OF the Border States generally, through their
respective representatives, hive any voice IN their
owl government. You are constrained ny truta to
answer these questions in tile negative: then, | ask
whit use is u there in elccsing any representative We
greutly prefer our able aud truly chivalrnut fryorto
any man in the district, and will c!;ccrtully, gladly
vote for him il We vote iCr any one. But We mus.
say that We sec no earthly uss in sending any repre-
sentative 70 tue next Congress, only to receive the
excavations OF thoss internal and barbarous Abc!!-
,~ioniSts, Just from communion with the Devils an
gels and clothed in the slime Of pollution.
And knowing ;bat many gentlemen OF ouT county,

We respectfully suggo-t aud propose that i Coiiren-
ton of the people OF the counties composing our dls-
.ric;, be held at tho junction, in the county Of Got.
