nF CONGRESSIONAL ELEcT1oN.-Second
Thursday of October, 1S65.-To the voters of
the 9TH Congressional District: composed of
the counties of Alexandria, Fairfax, Prince
William, Fauquier Lou1oun, Clarke, Warren,
Frederick, Shenandoah, Berkeley and Jefer-
son.
Fellow citizens: respectfully announce my
self candidate to represent you in the Congress
of the =. S. It will be impossible for me
in the short period between this and the day
of the election to canvass the District, and L
therefore adopt this method of addressing you.
Having resided among you for more than
sixteen years past, my interests and relations,
public and private, and fully identified with
yours We are now passing through trying
ordeal Tie terrible civil war which for four
long years drenched our land in fraternal
blood, has closed upon our commonwealth IN
condition politically disorganized and helpless.
The failure before us is full of difficulty and
dangers. That wise ADD bene6cent policy Of
''reconstructlon" which upon a satisfactory
the seeded States their original rights and
immunities, free from the action and control
Of the Federal authority, save in SO far as they
are bound to respect and observe the Constitu-
ton and the laws made in pursuance thereof,
shall have my cordial support. BY secession
and the resulting state of war, the vitality Of
the States has only been suspended, and it now
only remains for the people, by faithful ODE
dience to the National Government, within the
constitutional spehere of it's operation, to
breathe into them again the breath Of renewed
life that they mey stand forth regenerated and
dsenthralled.
The result of the war has put an end to
slavery. The future Of this question in its
new relations, lies unexplored before us. 1t is
gravely proposed to invest the negroes, SO re-
Gently freed from slavery, with all their seryile
habits and present ignorance, with the right
of suffrage and grant them political equality
in the Government. To this [ am uncon2-
pron5smgy opposed The question Of SUI
frage belongs to the States and it is one of their
''rights' to regulate it. should steadily op-
pose, in and out Of Congress, any effort to force
negro suffrage and equality upon US. [ shall
give the Government, if elected a cheerful
support in all efforts to maintain the public
credit and uphold the dignity and honor of
our common country It is impossible to an
ticipate the issues which may arise in the
changing condition of affairs, and [ can only
promise that should you honor me with your
confidence, [ will devote my best energies to
your service and the interests Of VIRGINIA,
that proud old Commonwealth, the vigor of
whose potent arm in the future order of events
may yet be welded to eclipse her ancient re-
noWn. Your Fellow Citizen,

century. Here, through the easy develop
ment of boundless resources, wealth has IN
creased with tNo-foid greater raplditY than
Numbers. SO that we have become secure
against the financial vieissitudes OF other
countries, and, alike IN business and IN opin-
ion, are self -centered and truly independent.
Here more and more care IS gwen to provide
education for every one born on our soil.
Here. religion, released from political connec-
ton with the civil government, refuses to
suhserve the craft of statesmen, and becomes,
in its Independence, the spiritual life of the
people. Here liberation is extended to eve
~ opinion, in the quiet certainty that truth
needs only fair field to secure the victory.
Here the human mind goes forth mistaken in
the pursuit of science, to collect stores of
knowledge and acquire an ever increasing
mastery over the forces of nature. Here the
national domain is offered and held IN nil
lions of separate freeholds, SO that our fellow
citizens, beyond the occupants of any other
part of the earth, constitute in reality peo-
pie. Here exists the democratic form ofgoV-
ernrnent; aud that form of government, by
the confession Of European statesmen, gives
power Of which no other form IS capable pc
cause it Incorporates every man with the
State and arouses every thing that belongs TO
the soul.
Where. in past history, does parallel ex-
ist to the public happiness which is within the
reach of the people of the United States?
Where, in any part of the globe, can institu-
tons be found SO suited to their habits or so
entitled to their love as their own free Con
stitution? Every cne of them, then, in what
ever part of the land he has home, must
wish It's perpetuity. Who of them will not
now acknowledge the words of Washington,
that .'eyery step by which the people OF the
Uuited States have advanced to the character
1 of an independent nation, seems to have been
distinguished by some token of Proyidential
aqency? Who will not join with me in the
PRAYER, that the invisible hand which has led
us through the clouds that gloomed around
our path, win so guide us onward to perfect
restoration Of fraternal affection, that we OF
this day may be able to transmit our great in
heritance of State Government in all their
rights, Of the General Government in its whole
constitutional vigor, to our posterity, andthey
to theirs through countless generations?
