FOR SHERIFF,
S. Z. GRIFFITH.
FOrtieth Congress-.
Subject to the decision ola nominating Convention

This organization of National Legislators
met on last Thursday week, the 2lst inst, It
represents the intellectual power, the lofty
patriotism and enlightened craftsmanship of
our widespread country. Maine answers
from her pine plumed hills to the sun dyed
plains of the far off West that call to her
aloud, and Tennessee and Minnesota across
intervening mountain, wave and valley clasp
the hand Of congratulation over the almost
entire extirpation of the Democratic ulcer
from this law-making body. From the indi-
cations we already have, there will be no
cowardly recession from the courageous and
noble stand in defence of law, liberty and
Justice which made its preceding session for
ever bright with the lustre of patriotic deyo-
ton, Our hope is sanguine and founded on
the lik"liest probabilities, that its legislation,
placing an Egis Of protection over tie strug-
Cling loyalty Of thu South and Furnishing
with deserved severity those who wickedIy
and madly assailed our liberties, will solve
the problem of reconstruction and restore
our country from the uncertainty and con-
motions Of the present hour to tranquility
harmony and prosperity.
