About Money.

Great SAKE has sung about how money
goes; NAa st tafQ
But how 1t comes-who knowse
Why, every Western mothers son
Can tell you how the thing is done:
1t comes by honest toll and trade,
BY welding sledge and driving spade,
And building ships, balloons, and drums
And that's the way the money comes.
Es bFx5z4B
How does IL come? The way is plain:
By raising cotton, corn, and cane;
By guiding ships across the main;
BY selling groceries SO low iIfff ~
That not q rival dares to crow,
While customers, q steady flow,
Come pouring IN, and, as they go. i4f
They take q bargain to their homes
And that's the way the money comes.
How does it come? Why, as it goes:
By spinning, weaving, knitting hose;
BY stitching shirts ana coats for Jews, s.
Erecting churches, renting pews,
And manufacturing boots and shoes.
The New York Grocery |" seems to choose
OF selling groceries so cheap that those
Who labor with head and arms and
thumbs
May save their money as it comes
How's money saveds Why, don't you
BY visiting Main Street, ~,
Where Teas and Sugars, and Coffees too,
Are sold so cheap that all who go
May receive the benefit of the late decline
In all kinds of goods in the grocery line;
By going where you'll not get shaved 81,
And that's the way the moneys saved.

Candidate for Congress.

The Congressional Convention o
Union delegates who met in this place
last Thursday, wisely made choice
of one OF our most faithful Union
! leaders,. S : "
| Judge polsley was among the FIRST
to range himself upon the Union side
in the beginning Of the rebellion, and
there he has stood faithfully, unFslter'
ingly, and consistently ever since. Tic
was chosen the first Lieut.. Governor
Of the se.organized Government Of
Virgins, and in that capacity con-
tributcd as much, perhaps, as any
other man, to shape the destiny Of the
now State. Although his home was
sometimes invaded, and he was com.
PEELED to leave it, to avoid imprison'
ncnt or death, yet he never abated
his xcal aud energy in the Union
cause.
After the organization Of the new
State, he was elected Judge Of the Cir.
cult in which he resides. which posi-.
ton he has filled, not only to the sat
istactiou of his Union friends, but
with SO great impartiality and justice
that even those who are hostile to him
and the government he represents are
left without any cause Of complaint.
There is considerable regret that it
becomes necessary, in order to sub
serve the interests Of the Union cause,
tor the Judge to leave his present po'
sition, where he has so cmincn;ly dc.
Tended loyalty, patriotism and justice.
But the time has come when We need
IN the halls Of Congress from our dis.
trict man of his steady, persevering,
unAinching loyalty, and his constitu'
ents can safely rely upon him to sup.
port the Union cause. There need be
no fear that he will be swcrvcd from
the straightforward course he has al.
ways pursued, by executive favor or
By a democratic partisan bias, nor
scared from the support OF just and
Republican measures BY the Scnseless
hue aud cry Of "nigger equality"
raised principally by those who arc
tender on that subject, because they
have rendered themselves liable to the
charge ofeQualizing themselves with
the darkcy.
In such stormy times as these, we
have some reason to anticipate that
in the next Congress we cannot be
better represented than BY Judge
Polsley, whose experience, patri-
otism, and cool judgment will not
commit the country to any hasty or
reckless course. Let US, therefore,
stand together 10 the coming election,
and roll up heavy majority for the
Judge.
