To tie Voters of tic End Congressional DIS.
FELLOW CITIZENS 1t would afford me
much pleasure to meet aud converse with YOU
face to face ; but it is impossible for me to do
SO. There is not sufficient time between this
aud the election. therefore avail myself Of
this mode of addressing YOU
On the 5th of September last, at the Graf
ton Convention, | received the nomination,
and was made the candidate, of the Demo-
cratic and Conservative party, for Represen-
tative in Congress for the second district of
this State. For this expression of confidence
l am grateful, and if elected will endeavor to
merit your confidence and esteem. All eff
fnrts ut substantial reform in the State and
National Governments have my sympathy
The protection OF life, liberty and property
are objects OF profound interest to every citi-
zen. Every right minded man desires recon
Citation and peace. All desire honest, pure
and good government. We all are weary of
dissention, strife and discord, and look for
ward with hope to a time when the bow of
peace shall span the gnif and foemen, clasp
ing each other by the hand, will shout in
united land. call is WELL all is peace" To
accomplish this we muse be Jealous, determined,
nnifed Dissention, division and strife must
end in defeat United, we are strong, but
divided, weak and powerless The people are
interested in the great reform that has been
inaugurated. BY united and harmonious ac-
ton we may give it impetus, power and life.
Will we harmonic and act in concert, or
perish amid dssention and strife
We have a common interest and common
destiny. 1t is our interest to have good and
wholesome laws and pure government; our
destiny, to be free, happy, prosperous and
con'etited people if we will. Much reform is
needtul. Legislation should be so directed as
to give Inspiration to the people, and eucour>
"gement to industry. Any system of taxa
ton that enriches the ,tew at the expense of
the many is burdensome and wrong. All
legislation that unduly fosters wealthy monop-
olies, by directly or indirectly forcing the cost
from the pockets of the lahoring masses, is ops
pressive and unjust. The public lands should
not be squandered, but sacredly reserved for
the benefit of the people. IF given away, it
should be to actual settlers and not to rails
road corporations. The privilege of the writ
OF Haheas Corpus should not be infringed, but
s,credly guarded and preserved.
Lay aside all dissection, issues and strife -
Come out to the election on the 24.h of this
month Don't remain at home Be at YOUR
post Give one day to your country. Maiu>

would unite the Democratic Conservative

THE COUNTY COURT.

1t every man, woman and child, black and
white, in the county of Jefferson were to vote
on next Thursday against the County Court
established by our new Constitution, the
County Court would nevertheless continue to
be a fixed fact. But as it will be very li.,le
trouble to write the words For the Couo-
ty Court" we would suggest the nroprie>
ty to our citizens of settling for ever the
question of "Supervsors' or County Court :"
by taking the trouble to write the words-if
they be not printed-"For the County Court
upon their ballots If some of our voters
under the correct Impression tha. we adopted
the County Conr. system by the ratification of
our new Constitution, should fail to vote upon
the County Court question on next Thur.day.
majority of the votes polled upon the SUBJ
ject might be For the Board of Supervisors. !"
That would certainly not alter the consttu-
tional provision that There shall be in each
county in the State County Court" But
as there some who think, either sincerely
or from self interest, that the Legislature.
under the power to "refnrm, modify or alter"
our County Court system, can abolish it alto-
gether, it may be as well for our people to put
quie'us upon the whole question by voting
"foF the County Court" We merely throw
out the hint for whatever i, may be worth,
that the advocates of the Supervisor system
may have no ground for saying. after the cleo
tion, that majority of the people of the
county are opposed to County Courts, and
that. therefore, the Legislature urnn on.,ira,
tion to it may abolish the whole system

BARBOUR CoUNTY.-A correspondent of
the Wheeling Register, under date of the 18th
instant, says:
"Hon. B. F. Martin made one of the ablest
and most convincing speeches at Phillipri to-
day that it has been my pleasure to hear for
many day. This being the first day of our
Circuit Court. our town was crowded with peo
pie, and we'll did it pay them for their time
to hear such speech Mr.. Martin, to say the
least, handled the issues in masterly manner
and made for himself host of friends

Assuming that the above table is accurate,
and it is certainly very nearly so tbs evident
that if any two of the eight States put down
IN the doubtful list, go for Greeley. it will
assure his election by at least sic majority
These eight doubtful States cast in the ag.
gregate 6S electoral votes. If they so divide
between Grant and Greeley as to cast 81 votes
for each, we may take both Indiana and
Louisiana from the list Of States certainly for
Greeley, place them on Grants certain list,
and still have majority of twelve in the cleo,
toral College for Greeley. Or, in other words,
still surprising that the eight doubtful States
SO divide as to cast an equal number of cleo
toral votes for each of the two candidates. we
may take % electoral votes from Greeley's
certain list add them to Grants list, and still
lesve two majority for Greeley. We ask then
what is the use of following before we are
hurt? In the above calculation we have as
sumed for greater certainty, that some of the
States put down as certainly for Greeley may
go against him; but never in single instance
have we assumed that any of the States put
Gown as certainly Tor Grant may possibly go
for Greeley. 1t does not follow that, because
the great State of Pennsylvania by means of
colonization, repeating and stutfing, was made
to give fictitious majority for Hartrautt, she
is going for Graut in November. The very
fraud by which she was made to elect Hart
ranft may convert many honest Grant Repub
lcans to the side of Liberalism, and they may
insist for the credit of their State upon fair
count of the votes. But the truth is, the
above list has been carefully prepared from
the various elections held in the several States
and may be considered as accurate That
being true, it is only necessary that any two
OF the doubtful States should go for Greeley
to assure a majority for him in the Electoral
College, and therefore, to assure his election
