To ]. L. BUTLER. ESQ.,. Editor Of TIE Union
and Journal The Union AMI Journal Is pro-
fesscdly Republican newspaper and ought 10
reflect the sentiments Of the Republican party
in York County. Without animadyerting upon
It's general course. and not assuming To speak
for others, we desire to say for ourselves that
your recent illusions to the Representative in
Congress from this district do not express our
sentiments respecting that gentleman, and a
Ear As we know, are exceedingly distasteful to q
very large majority Of the Republican party In
this County.
We believe that our Representative has Faith
fully carried out the principles Of the Republi
can party-that he has been attentive to his du
ties and mindful Of the wishes Of his constitu
euts, and in common with our party associates
NO feel just pride in the knowledge that he Ia.
achieved position Of enlarged influence snt
usefulness: and that his name is the synonym
Of honor and integrity.
Duty to ourselves and him, seems to requir'
that no erroneous statement or impression con-
eerning tho estimation in which he is held b,
the Republicans Of York County, should DO al
lowell 10 remain uncontradictel.
Whether or not he shall longer represent u
In Congress Is q matter for the Republicans IN
the lat Congressional district 10 decide, and w
have only 10 say that should the choice agar
fall upon him, we know Of nothing in his histor,
or Misunderstanding In his Congressional ca
r~er or private life that would make him An un
acceptable candidate to tho Republicans Of Yorl
County.
