l. GRESSl0NAL DISTRICT, composed of the
counties of Amherst, Nelson, Fluvanna, APP
pomattox, Buckingham, Cumberland, Prince
Edward, Charlotte Mecklenburg, Lunenburg'
Nottoway, Amelia, Powhatan and Chester
fie.d.-In compliance with the calls of gentlemen
from various portions of this District, l hereby
announce myself q candidate to represent you in
the CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES, the
election to take place on the second Thursday in
October next.
The District is so large and the time, compare
lively 80 short that it will not be in my power to
visit a of the different port ons of it before the
election. But it is due to you, in order that you
vote understandiDgly, that you be informed in
some way of the position that have occupied on
the once absorbing questions of disunion and &C.
cesson. was opposed to resort to these means
to settle the questions of difference between the
North and South, until all other honorable means
had first been tried, and opposed secession up to
the time 1t was adopted by our State, because
believed and always commended that 1t would in-
svitably lead to war; and long, fierce and bloody
war, too. But other counsel prevailed. Time,
that great arblter Of all earthly things, has
demonstrated the correctness of my opn.
ion. The war did come. Its character and
result are known to all. Like the simeon of
the desert, it has swept over the land, and the
bosom of destruction, and ruin and desoation
m0rk its course In many places. Its onsequenceS
and effects are sorely felt here by all and, If |
am not much mistaken, will yet be seriously felt
by all parts of the country. But If may be
permitted TO speak word of counsel to you, |
would say, let Us not give way to repining and
dependency, but set to work at once to regain
our lest position, and aid in restoring peace
and harmony to torn, and bleeding, and suffer
ing country. Aud as first step towards accom-.
plishng those great and important objects let
there be union of all the conservative element of
the country ia sustaining the Administration Of
President Johnson and especially his course in
defence of the rights of the States. For he is now
the only breakwater against that radical party
that would sweep away almost every yestige Of
State rights and make ours sort OF consolidated
government in which all power might he claimed
and exercised by an irresponsible majority
Believing the course here recommended to be tho
best for the interests of our country and the true
policy for US to adopt if shall be chosen as your
Representative ] pledge myself to use my best
efforts for the accomplishment of these great and
important objects.
Respectfully, your fellow:citizen,
