Our Representative in Congress,

We trust that cur present able Reprssea
tatiye In Congress viii De reelected by
considerable majority. There Is no reason
why he should not receive the iull and cor
dial support Of every Republican In the
Distric,. On the two great questions now
before tho country-the suppression OF the
Rebellion and the destruction OF Slavery
he represents the views OF the Republican
party TO the fullest extent: and they can
DO assured that In the many difficult Ques
tons OF legislation, that will arise during
the next two years, he will be found az re-
liable in principle and as judiclous in action
rs any man who could be sent in his place.
He will DO very thorough aud diligent in
business; and his previous experience will
enable him 10 do more for the interests Of
his constituents than could ne done by any
new man.
Then, II Mr. Longyear he not elected n
COpperhead will be sen: ID his place-a
man who says the rebels never can be sub
dued-that the rebellion l. stronger to-day
ed. the war will last four years more, and
after that, on the guerrilla system, Il may
continRe for generations-a man who says
the war Is a failure, and will not vote dol
lar or man Tor suppresslng the rebellion
a man who wants slavery restored as It was
before, ard made perpetual-a man who is
for allowing 10 come back into Congress,
without repentance, with hands unwashed OF
their couniry's blood, such traitors as JET.
Davis and Stephens and their eolleagues-a
man opposed to every principle and meas
ure OF public policy which Republicans
deem important and valuable.
