charges of peculation or fraud directed at
him,
These are the reasons which induce the
friends of Mr.. McBRATNEf to ask his Sc
lection as the successor of Gen. Lane. They
do not ask that he shall be selected simply
because of his Identification with the people
and interests of the West-but because they
conceive that he possesses in degree equal
to that of any other candidate presented,
the Jeffersonian prerequisites of honesty.ca-
pacity and fidelity.
Located as the other Congressman are,
the one in the Northeast, and the other in
the Southeast portions of the State, the 10.
cation of Mr.. McBRATNEY in the West,
ought not to be an objection to him. The
Western portion of the State will rejoice in
his election. 1t will be to them an assur-
ance that their peculiar interests and desires
are not overlooked or disregarded, whilst
the interests of the whole State are being
promoted.

from power the sanguinary despots who
have been the sole cause of this rebellion.
As the war grows more desperate it ap-
proaches the close. The victories already
won inspire onr brave men with new cour-
age, and in corresponding degree eis-
heartens and demora!izes the enemy
insuring us greater victories at every new
engagement. We are firmly Of the opinion
that the next three months will witness the
utter overthrow of the rebellion, the estab-
lshment Of peace and prosperity throughout
the Union, and the return of our brave and
patriotic volunteers to their homes and
friends.
