TNO TIL VOTERS OF THE SECOND
i CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
Hon. JOHN S. MILLSON having formally
expressed his willingness to his old Constit
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 folio wing reasons
lst By his manly, firm, conservative, and in
| dependent course in the Councils of the Nation
he has won for himself a national reputation, and
| the respect of both friend and opponent, which,
combined with his well-trained and eminent abiii-
ties, will secure to him influence equalled by
few and excelled by no representative from the
| Southern States
| I'd. He is representative Southern man, who
although conscientiousy differing with large
portion of his old constituents on the policy and
| principles involved in the late disasterous war
has yet ever earnestly sympathized with the peo-
pie in all their troubles and misfortunes, 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 criti-
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
resentatlve OF the South now spoken Of
5th Because he is opposed to all test oaths; to
| the policy of confscation 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 own 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.
| 7th Because he has resoiutely resisted the ex-
ercise OF arbitrary power by military officials and
military tribunals, and earnestly maintained the
ascendancy of the time honored laws of the State
| 9Th. 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 a
candidate, but is ready to obey the command of
the people, if it should be their good pleasure to
! order him into their service.
9TH. Because he is, emphatically, the PEOPLES
Candidate-not nominated by any caucus or con-
vention-but brought forward by the People for
their own use and benefit.
