ITO THE VOTERS OFTHE SECOND

CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
Hon. JOHN S. MILLSON having formally
expressed his willingness to serve his old Consttu
ency in the next Congress Of the United States if
it should be their pleasure to elect him. it is pro
per that the People of the various Counties and
Corporations should know that he will be earn
estly sustained and voted for in every County and
Precinct in the District, for the follow reasons
list. By his manly, firm, conservative, and in
dependent course in the Councils of the Nation
he has won for himself nato nal reputation and
the respect OF both friend and opponent, which,
combined with his Wel-trained and eminent abili.
ties, will secure to him an influence equaed by
few and excelled by no representative from the
Southern States.
I'd. He is representative Southern man. who
although conscientiousy differing with a large
portion of his old constituents on the policy and
principles involved in the late disasterous war.
has yet ever earnestly sympathized with the PEG
pie in all their troubles and msfortunes who
knows their wants and necessities, can estimate
their feelings and purposes, and can speak for
them and of them, the floor of Congress- in
terms that will command attention and cOnsidera-
| ton.
Sd. The necessities of our people and their crit
cal position in reference to anticipated legislation
by the next Congress, demands the services of our
ablest and most efficient men, without reference
| to party or prediction.
| 4th 1t is believed that he will meet with less
opposition in taking his seat than any other rep
| resentative of the South now spoken Of
| 9Th Because he is opposed to all test oaths; to
the policy of confiscation; to negro suffrage, or
citizenship, and to kindred measures of Southern
| humiliation, and would exercise his great abili-
ties for their repeal and for the speedy restora-
ton of the State to all her constitutional rights
and privileges as member of the Federal Union
9th. Because, though his opinions are con
slant and unchanging, he has been ever perfectly
tolerant OF the views and conduct of those who
honestly differed with him upon subject of sur
| passing Importance to every citizen
| It'll. Because he has resoutely resisted the ex-
ercise OF arbitrary power by military officials and
military tribunals, and earnestly maintained the
ascendancy OF the tlme-honored laws of the State
| 8th Because, impressed with the magnitude OF
the interest sinvolved in the ensuing election, he
| does not claim office as reward for his past ser
vices, and has even declined to offer himself as
candidate, but is ready to obey the command of
the people, if it should be their good pleasure to
I order him into their service.
9TH. Because he is, emphatically the PEOPLES
Cand1date-not nominated by any caucus or CON
vention-but' brought forward by the People for
their own use and benefit.
