Nell, how is this much. desired peace
to be hasteneda Why, 10y sustaining our
auth critics, the Confederate adlmnistra-
'ion, and our soldiers in the field. Send
men to orr State Legislature aud to Con-
gress who will hold up the hands OF our
patriotic President and others who are
striving 10 defeat the wicked purposes of
the ellcu,y, In each county in the State
there are nu,noer of candidates for the
Legislature. Now We advise and beg the
people to select inen who are known to be
true to the cause under all circumstances
linen who are determined to strengthen
aud sustain our authorities until our inca-
pendence is established. Iftactious, fault
finding, sore eaded and dissatisfied repre-
sentauses are sent TO the Legislature, the
North takes II for granted that we are dis
satisfied with our own Government, and
Lincoln is encouraged to continue the war
upon It's. Thal's the effect OF electing uu-
reliable, double faced men.
Ii there ever WAS time when we need
ed our best men, men Of experience in the
Legislature, moao Is tho time Our lives,
our liberty, our property, the welfare OF
our women and children, aud our all is at
stake. This is no time to trust doubtful
men or those OH whom suspicion may rest.
No one should now be influenced by per-
sonal considerations in casting his vote,
but all should vote for the best aud truest
men, men who have been from the be-
elnnirg in favor of sustaining the laws and
helping our constituted authorities. In
this way all may. do something towards
fastening peace, because our enemies will
see that we are united and determined to
secure Independence. But if we elect men

Our readers know that We never have
deceived them, and we do not think that
we ever gave them bad advice and now,
IL begging the people to elect their best
men our only motive is to promote their
own good as we'll as the good Of the conn
Try A great deal depends on the char
acter aud conduct OF our Legislature,
