CONGREGATIONAL Election.

But a few more days will elapse before
the people will be called upon to chose a
representative in the National Congress.
Two candidates are presented, both well
known to the people Of this State, but
representing different ideas, different prin-
ciples, and put forth by different parties.
We have notVet seen the platform adopt
ed by the late Democratic Convention, but
presume the chief plank is opposition to
negro suffrage, as we'll as opposition to
the Administration. We ask all to read
the platform adopted by the Union party
at their Convention. 1t is broad enough
and liberal enough to suit every man who
loves liberty in its fullest scope-who
hates treason and traitors-who still loves
and reveres our starry banner, that glori-
GUS emblem of light and liberty, under
which our fathers fought, and which has
recently passed through a fiery ordeal,
with not one star less, or its lustre dimmcd
in the least. The great States Of Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Iowa send renewed
assurances of their fidelity to the Consti-
tuition and the Union, Of their determine
ton to support the Administration, and
their approval of the acts Of our gallant
soldiers and sailors during the past four
years. Shall Nevadado less? Shall Ne
vada, youngest born, the bright silver star
of the grand galaxy Of States, be back
ward in the good work? There are ques-
tons yet to settle Of vast importance.
Shall we send to Congress n who be-
longs to that party who declared they
would not vote q man or a dollar to put
down the rebellion-who, in the hour Of
our greatest need, called for the reduction
Of u army and navy to a peace footing
or shall we send a representative deter
mined to support the Administration in
its efforts to place our Government upon
o firm basis, determined to deal with trait
ors according to their just deserts? Union
men Of Nevada, be not deceived by the
assertions Of an apostate journal, to the
columns Of. which we have heretofore
looked for tho PRONUNCIATION OF sound
principles. Be not deceived by those
who steal the livery of heaven in which to
serve the devil-men who in times of trial
cried " Union" becauseU Union was pop
ular, and who, now that they think the
danger is past, return to the mire in which
they were wont to wallow.
In D. r. Ashley, the Union candidate
for Congress, we have q man tried and
true. Having served in various promi-
nent positions in California, he presents o
record Of which any one might we'll be
proud. That he will be elected, there can
hardly be a doubt. His opponent is put
forward by those who protest against the
obligation ITO support the Constitution
and the Government of the United States"
Will you elect such a man. Let every
man who loves liberty better than slavery,
come up to the polls and vote for d. 4.
Ashley as the Union representative for
Congress. Of the success of our ticket in
this county, there is no doubt. Let us see
what majority we can give our candidate
for Congress, and let not one vote be lost.
The enemy are awake and vigilant, and
hope by catching US mapping to win the
day. Let Nevada send the true and loyal
Ashley to Congress, by such a majority as
will convince our sister States that we,
too, believe in the good old doctrine OF
"Liberty and Union, one and inseparable."
