The SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DIS
| TRIcT.-Hon. j. S. Morrill, has addressed
the following card to the voters of the dis
trict which he has SO faithfully and ably
represented in Congress for the past eight
years:
The time approaches when you are to
select some person to be supported for your
Representative in the 18th Congress, and
it may be proper, although many of you
are already appraised of my intention, that
should publicly withdraw my name as |
do now, as candidate for reelection.
Having been in service for the past
eight years, in the House of Representa-
tlves, season of unexampled events as
we'll as of labor, | feel the need of some
relaxation and it is your privilege, most
willingly Acknowledged, and your duty,
as | believe, to place fresh man in the
field. Whoever he may be-teeling sure
, that you will seek capacity for the dis
charge of Legislative duties, and fidelity to
i, Ne great political issues now so pro-
fnund,u ), ,uching the honor and welfare of
our beloved CO. ntry, assalied as II Is by
al tho domest,c an,d foreign foes of free
government he shall baye my cordial
support,
Pardon word against the weakness of
dependence. Our condition is infinitely
above that of the traitors. Heroism and
endurance will yet secure to us and to our
posterity our full measure of freedom, and
the Union complete in all its ancient boun-
daries.
To have retained your confidence for so
long period, and with so much of unanim
ity-- receiving nothing but uninterrupted
kindness at your hands-satisfes whatev-
er of ambition may have had, and will
be gratefully remembered while life re-
| mains. JUSTIN 5. MORRILL,.
