The nomination of john Il. Lynch;
Speaker of the House Of Represcn-
tatives, as the Republican candidate
from the Sixth District for Con-
gress, which was made on the 28!h
inst, by the Convention which as
sembled at Brookhaven, is an event
over which all true Republicans will
not fail greatly to rejoice: While
we would have rendered a cheerful
support to either Of the honorable
gentlemen who were competitors
for this nomination, We are free to
soy that our wishes--which We
chance to know were the wishes Of
two-thirds of the voters i'll the Sixth
District, not have boon bet.
ter brought to fruition than in the
selection we have the pleasure to-
day Of announcing. The unmin,i!y
with which even his most earnest
opponents within the party came 10
tho support Of Mr.: Lynch, when it
was evident he had the strongest
hold upon the Convention, and tho
subsequent solemn promises made
that these same honorable men
would cordially join in the canvass.
put their shoulders to the whco]s
and labor INCREASINGLY for his sue
cess, are evidences that the greatest
numbers have been suited by his
selection as Congressional Repre-
sentative (and We firmly believe
that he will be elected) at Washing
ton, from the counties of Claiborne,
Copiah, Jefferson, Adams, W;lkin-
son, Amite, Franklin. Pike, Lincoln,
Marion, Perry, Greene, Jackson,
Hancock, Pearl and Harrison.
While we have reason for the faith
within us that Mr.. Lynch will bc
unanimously elected, as he was
unanimously nominated, we would
by no means recommend our friends
in the Sixth District to relax tho
vigor with which they have inau-
gurated the campaign. On the con-
trary, they should remember that
the foe is alert, active, and pausing
at no trick, however low, to carry
its points, and keep the ball rolling
which hos just been started. Con-
slant vigilance is necessary. Or
ganization Of forces; frequent meet
ings; frequent addresses; the circu-
lation Of Republican newspapers
and Republican campaign docu-
ments, and constant and persistant
personal effort, will insure our tri-
amph. Without these, there is
langer of torpidity. Meantime, tho
Democratic rattlesnake warns into
ife and vigor in our midst.
The record Mr.. Lynch has made
n the State; the fact that be is
7oung, native Mississippian, who at
he close of the war was compare
lively unprepared by education to
'attle with the world for position,
nd the further fact that he has
'een nominated now as representa-
i've in the halls of the national le-
,islature, are all honorable both to
1r. Lynch and the Republican par
'arty. Honorable to him, because
10 has had the pluck; perseverance
nd application to make himself
that he is, and honorable to tho
arty that it has been quick to re-
ognizc intrinsic worth in the man,
e his skin black or white, and to
m
i've him its unanimous indorsc-
rent. We run up, with pleasure,
! our masthead, to-day, the name
john R. Lynch, as our candidate
nd the peoples candidate for Con-
ress from tho Sixth Congressional
'istrict. We shau work to have
i'm elected.
