TO THE VOTERS OF THE 42D DISTRICT.
Mr. Editor:-If you think it's not
too late, and won't charge anytHinT
for my "card' you will announce
my name for the convention as any
mans candidate who will vote foc
me. TO save answering thousand
questions, l will proceed to state
what | in for and what I'm agin,
I'm for a convention, if it has got
to be held. I'm against it ii io
ain held. | can't tell yet whether
it will be held or not. Like my
friend Parrot, I'm for the good Ok
my constituents in all things, and
| look upon those who vote for ms
as my constituents, whether bleach
ed or unbleachcd. The white men
who support me must let me know
what they want done, and | will in-
troduoe a bill. The negroes who
vote for me shall have abunuaiso
consideration. They must let ms
know whether they want money or
mules, or tobacco, or more or less
freedom. I'm for 'cm, and will il
trcduce BILL, and will pledge NY
self to advocate their right OF sut-
frage forever--in Ohio. I'm like
my friend, the General. Says l,
General you are for my color? or
what color are you for? IL IN for
BLACK.
Pm for Union-Union Of some
sort-dis-Union or dat Union, or
some othcr sort not discovered. Its
high time we had one of some sort.
| m for the Star Spangled Banner.
and the pole and the rope--I like
the stars more than do the stripes.
/ am glad to see all the stars up
there; though I have thought some-
times that little black Grape ought
to shade few of c IN till we are re.
stored to the Union.
If the military car vote, and will
vote for me, I'm for 'cm. I'll vote
for EN- all to have long, furlougns----
| want EN- all to have good bones,
and 90 t. 'cm--thcre 5 nothing liln
a good home, and ] know fond par
ents want to sec EN-. | like the
military in time OF peacc-when
they are off on long furloughs. L
like to hear the sound of a drum
fish under 4 boat. | like tho
morning foot of a horn--whcn John
Graves is Il BLOWN it OH Horse Leg
Mountain. -
Likewise, Tn for tho lurcau--oe
agriculture, that Gen. Black is
agent for in this county. If YOU
want to sec---seed, go for Gen.
B!ack--though he says he's a good
Union man. ~
I'm for a portion ofthe State road.
im r~r relief. i IN for that strong,
PERSONALITY, just like my friend
Green Ware. But want to re-
lievc the debtor and creditor too,
and il | can t framc.a bill that will
do it, | don t know who can. My
plan is. to framea bill that will keep
Il man from paying what he owes,
and at the same time enable him
to collect what S owen to him. |
would like to see the man who aint
for that sort Of bill. Forty me,,
have told me they was pleased at
the idea.
I'm for rain. A GHOST. UL

Esr0SvnlON,
The N. Y. Times, Republican anil
often Radical though it be, is dis
gustcd with the election of parsor
Brownlow to the U. ;. Senate. 1t
says: -.- .. -...-... .-
"Nobody, VIC believe, expects that
Brownlow will add very much to tho
reputation of the Senate, either by
the tone and character of his clo-
qucnce, or by the dccorum an dig
nifty Of his political demcauor. He
will find quite a number of Senators
already there, however, who con
tribute very little but virulence and
malignant partisanship to the gem
eral tone and standing of that body.
In this riyalry-the only one he is
likely to enter upon-he is quito
sure to hold his own.'
