For Congress--JOlln Cartwright.
Our Democratic readers will, we are;
certain, be gratifed to learn that the
District Congressional Convention, held
at Marietta last week, conferred the nom-
nation upon JOHN CARTWRIGHT, Esq, ,,of
this city; and further that Mr. CART
WRIGHT acquiesces in this behest of the
party, and will ssface the music. for a
Congressional contest
That this selection is in every way wise
and judicious, will be the hearty senti-
ment of the party throughout the Dis
trict-and many outside Of the party
as it was that of the peoples delegates
in,the Convention. Mr.. CARTWRIGHT
happily combines the qualities for an
able, discreet, land thoroughly honest leg
islator. As Meigs County man, of
many years residence here, he is identi-
fjed with her interests, understands her
Ineeds,and all our citizens know he would
make an admirable representative. And
with no less fidelity would he represent
the interests of the entire District. Ur-
bane, courteous and high minded, he is
also positive in his views, and always
true and just He is not man whom
corrupt and selfish monopolies could
| buy or bend to a betrayal of the peoples
Interests; : and with Congress whose
majority was composed of such men,
the enacted lnfamies, swindles and out
lragcs of the present yenal body of law
selling rascals would be impossible
There could be no better days for the
Republican, political or Legislative re
lform-no alienation of the crushing
burdens under which the people groar
until we have "a change of base" anc
1send to Congress just such candidates a:
john CARTwRIGHr. And our belief is
lfrom all the indications, that he and ;
majority of good men of like faith will
together, truly represent the people il

land purer era in national legislation. f
I THAT desirable end, men and brethren, le
us all WORK, with uhceasing and all-con
lquering diligence.
