/ Of your true anil faithful Representative
{ lion. GoA1os s. on, Of Efiaaa.
During his whole service in Congress. he
has never wavcred or halted IN his devo-
tiun 10 Union and Free,unl. His vote has
mover been separated from his duty. TO
him, as Chairman of the important Commit
tee on Territories. more th,n 10 any other

visions of fundamental law.

know Mr.. Ashley we'll and honor him
much. lie has boon ilrm when others have
| liesinted, and from an early day saw tho
secret of this war, aud may udi. also, tho
secret of victory.
In the questions Of Hlatesn1nship, which
will soon suporsedc all military questions,
lIe has already given assurance OF practical
wisdom. Ills various indeIatigable labors
and his elaborate speech on ''rocOnstruc-
ton" show that he secs well what is TO bo
done in order to place peace aud liberty
under irresistible safeguards.
For myself, ! have no hesitation in saying
that, next to tho rebellion ITSELF, l most
deprccate a premature State Government
in o rebel State. Such Government viii
be source Of sorrow anil weakness incal-
culable. But am sure that your Repre-.
sentative will fail In no effort to prevent
such calamity.
There ia also tho Amendment OF tho Con.
stitnton. prohibiting Slavery throughout
the United States Nobody has done more
for II, practically. than your Represents.
tive.-HSn. CtO'lts SUmner.
Tho people, in their sober second
thought have determined to continue
tho war until tho rebellion is innihilated and
that slavery, its cause and support, shall
perish with It. 1t was peculiarly Il. that
the voto which declares this should also
sustain General Ashley, who has never fal.
tered in his advocacy of these great princi-
plca aud purposes. Tho people OF this dis
trct do we'll to honor him, aud the Union
men Of the whole country will applaud
