The Democratic Candidate for CON
aress Over the River.

We have already mentioned the fact
that our old friend, CHARLES FL. MITCH
NER, Esq, of Tuscarawas county, had
received the Democratic nomination for
Congress in the District composed OF
Belmont, Harrison, Tuscarawas, Guern-
sew and Noble counties, Ohio. We fully
endorse the following reference to MT.
MITCHNER which we find in the Cadiz
Sentinel;
OF Mr.. Mitcbner, the nominee, all who
know him speak favorably. AS editor OF
the Ohio Democrat for over score of
years he has earned reputation which
carries confidence to every conservative
man in the district - to his ability and
fitness for the position, Mr. Mitchner is
a vigorous writer, a sound thinker, and
no man in the State has dealt heavier or
more effective blows in the cause of truth
and Democracy, ! s'
He is man upon whom all conserva.
tive men, opposed to the action of the
present Radical Congress, can cheerfulfy
unite and triumphantly elect in October.
In his own county, where he as best
known, he is very popular, and will be
supported not only by the Democracy,
but By large class of conservative Re.
publicans
This will be the case III all the coun-
ties Of the District, Mr.. Mitchner has
always been moderate man in political
matters, and no conservative Republican
need hesitate q moment about giving
him cordial support.

Mr.. Hubbard's recent act Of restitution
as a genuine ease of conscience, are
indulging the belief that he viii no longer

they are correct doth not yet appear.
Yet itwould seem that gentleman, who

graced by acting with the men who com.
