To the Voters of the 4th Congregational ID strict.
Within the last lew weeks, have had numerous SOL
citations om the different counties of this District, to
announce myself candidate for the next Congress of
the Confederate States.
have refrained from pursuing this course, 10 the
hope, that the people Of the District would take
public action in the matter. The election is near at
hand aud it is time that something should be done.
do not desire to have the appearance of forcing my
self upon the District but have been induced to be-
eve by representations made to by gentlemen from
every county in the District that portion of the peo-
pie desire to vote for me at the ensuing election.
l have not sought the position for whilst am aware
OF the honor it confers, equally Convinced of the
responsibilities appertainng to it.
At critical period of country's history like the
present. it the duty Of every person to accept of what
ever post may be assigned him.
If majority of the people should think proper to
assign to this distinguished position, should feel
hatered by the manifestation of their partially and
should feel it my duty to them far as my hum
BILE ability would admit.
1t was to me of great greet that was pre-
vented, by illness, from dschargng my duty to
the District in the Provisional Congress but had
the consolation to know that the interests OF our people
were ably represented by my distinguished colleague
Hon. Geo. Davis
In regard to canvass OF the District, do not be-
lieve that the people desire anything OF the kind as
divisions might result th refrom.
Too much speech making was one of the greatest
evils under the Old Government and one of the prnc
pie causes Of lis downfall.
At the present time nothing is to be deprecated
than useless divisions for the public interests demand
perfect union OF cur people, and the application of all
their energies to the prosecution of the unjust and in
iquitous war now waged against u.s.
Very respectfully,
/ T. D. MCDOWELL

OEE OF THE CHARLEeToN PAPERS, the COur1eI, makes
sensible suggestion even if it be only in reference to
matter of rather the handles thereto. 1t is,
that having cut loose from the old Union we of the
Confederacy should drop many of its foolish forms and
titles many Of them possible, say We Why, for
instance should multiply and pepetuate "hoDorabes"
simply because this, that the other man may have
once sat in Congress, in the better atmosphere
which we think will pervade that of the C0nederacy-
1t at best but form, and may turn out to be rid
cuous one should honorable in the future
of his life prove himself to be anything else. We do not
say that any 4viW but then who shall that
some may not. Call no man happy before death. If
there must be handles let them really represent something
and let them cease when they no longer that pur
pose.
From the very necessity of the CASE the number of
military titles must be multiplied aid if there be any
titles that deserve perpetuaton after the Offices to which
they pertain have apsed certainly those acquired in the
military service of the country at this crisis amobg
the first to which this distinction should be accorded
But may not the very number of these titles initiate
against their value WHILE with all due respect to officers
may not hundreds and thousands of prvates who have
neither held sought Office or gained official desgna
ton still have earned and established high claim for
consideration and just title to the gratitude of their
country any of their commanding officers How then
shall the scale be adjusted, if not after service is over
by all who have done their duty standing upon the
platform, with only the title and distinction which per-
sona merit will assert and ought to receive.
Perhaps it is foolish to be over-sensitve to the crti
cisms of foreign Travellers matter how intelligent but
might not sometimes be worth while to enquire wheth
er there may not be something that might be improved
upon-some benefit that might be derived from
these criticisms admitting their general tone to be
unjust and il-natured Among the things universally
ridculed is this abundance of titles queery at var
ance with democratic profession and usage. Is this
ridicule wholly gratuitous How many gentlemen in
this State are addressed referred to Governor "
How many as Judge" and so on? How many men
Of any prominence at ALL simply by their names Let
think. And we in North Carolina are far behind most
of sister States Why not, all through the Confed-
eracy establish era-turn fresh leaf-no longer
preface the names of Congressman and Judges by
expectations derived from England where they belong to
sprgs of nobility, or members of the Privy Council
