Hon, John M. Bright.


We continue our extracts from
the Democratic press of this Con-
gressional district:
HoY. JOHN NJ. BRIGHT.-Under
cur head of announcements it
will be seen that Hon. John M.
Bright Of Lincoln, is a candidate
Tor re election to Congress from
this, the 4th Congressional Dis
trict. This distinguished gentle
man deserves something better at
our hands than the ordinary a.
menities of journalism afford
His valuable services in public life;
his earnest devotion to the best
interests OF a constituency so long
misrepresented in the National
Legislature ; his unremittiDg at
teniions to their wants and de.
mands; and above all the rare
purity of his private life, elevate
him above the mere politician to
an eminence rarely attained by
public men in these crooked times.
We have watched Gen. Bright's
course in Congress with pride and
pleasure. His conduct there full
ly justified our high estimation
of his shining talents and incor-
ruptible integrity. Among the
wrangling political brawlers whom
the pillows of war swept into the
National Councils, he stood pat
tern of propriety and dignity
Earnest, forcible and brilliant in
debate, he never lost sight Of that
high sense Of decorum which char
acterizes the gentleman as we'll as
the statesman. His speeches on
public measures, particularly those
on the Tariff and Ku-Klux bills,
did credit to bis matured intellect
and ripe scholarship, and afforded
abundant evidences of his thor
ough acquaintance with political e.
economy and the science of gov.
eminent. In appearing before
his constituents as d candidate for
reelection, he brings with linn
every recommendation to favor,
and a record untarnished by sim
gle Objectionable act.-Tullaionaa
Independent.
Hon. John NJ. Bright, NJ. c.,
spent a day or two with our peo-
pie since the last issue OF the
Journal. His urbane manner and
extraordinary gift of converse
tiJnal power, conjoined with his
extensive literary attainments
which display themselves in ora
toricnl efforts that have won the
admiration of SO many-all made
his presence treat, aud the char
acter he has made in Congress
causes natural pride in the
hearts of those whom he repre-
sents, and who are asked to en-
dorse his action by rejoicing him.
Winchester Home Journal.
1t will be seen from our list of
candidates that Gen. John M.
Bright, our recent member of Con-
gress, and one of the ablest that
ever represented this district, is a
candidate for rejection. Old Bed
ford will give him her vote to a
man to 90 back to Congress-

to suffer the loss of their hogs any

agreed. When they were met at
the place on the appointed night,
it was agreed that Pete conceal
himself just outside the hog pen.
One of the men was to put him.

Supporting Greeley upon
Principle.

Gen. D. ii. Hill-"Bethel" Hill,
of war-memory-in the South
ern Home, of which he is editor,
presents a strong article to show
that the people of the South, in
their enthusiasm for Greeley, are
only guided by principle. We
quote the following striking para
graphs from his article
eve do not take Mr.. Greeley
therefore from POLICY, but from
PRINCIPLE. We take him because
he is with us in all the essential
principles which are involved in
the Presidential contest. He is
opposed to banning the old
leaders of the South. He is op.
posed to carpet bagism. lie is
opposed to military rule and the
persecution of the people. He is
opposed to the thievish rings
which bankrupt the masses to en-
rich the rogues. He is opposed
| to extravaganza in administering
the government and high taxes
upon the people. He is opposed
to two terms in the Presidential
office--the first term being EN-.
ployed in bribing the way with
stolen money for a second term
He is opposed to squandering the
public domain upon the swindler'
who bride the President and Con
gress TO pass Ubiquitous Railroad
bills. He is opposed to putting i'm
competents into office, even should
they be kin to the President. He
is opposed to making a Poland of
the South, and in favor of win
ming our people by the law of
kindness. In brief, on all the
living issues of the hour, Mr.
Greeley and the South are in per
feet accord. His platform anc
his letter embrace all for which
We can now contend. 1t is be
cause Of this agreement in princi
pie that we accept him as oul
leader, and not because of any
low views Of policy and expedi
ency.
"The Radical candidate has but
two ideas in his head. The first
is TO get richer still by gifts from
bride givers. The second is tC
degrade, humiliate and ruin the
Southern people. We oppose him
on principle, and we favor the
man whose personal honesty Ii
above suspicion, and whose heart
is big enough to feel for the wrongs
and outrages committed upon the
States lately in rebellion "
