Circular.

TO the Voters Of hHor County
FELLow-CITIzENs' by nm Act of the GEN
eral Assembly of the State of Tennessee, APP
proved December 9, 1871, it devolves upon you,
Mt the election, on the first Thursday of August,
next, 20 elect an Attorney General for the Dis
trict of Knox, whose duty it will beto represent
the interests and prosecute in behalf of the
people of the State in the Criminal Court OF
said District
In obedience to the often expressed desire of
many personal and political friends, and in nc
cordance with my own inclination and wishes in
the premises, | announced myself some weeks
since, candidate for that important position.
According to what | regard the duty of every
man who aspires TO public confidence and stew
ardship, take this occasion, and adopt this me-
dium of communicating with my fnllow-cti-
zens whose suffrage | seek. While politics can
have hut little connection with judicial con-
test, in the abstract; and certainly should
have nothing whatever to do in the
administration of the law-and such shall
be the guiding-prnciple of my official action,
if elected; yet. that no man may act and vote
misunderstandingy it seems eminenty proper
to say that am now, and always have been, a
Republican in politics, and although quite lib
eral in my views, / am not liberal enough TO
vote the Democratic ticket in disguise-sugar
coated with Greeley and Brown.
1t is proper, also to state that my Republic
canism' is Of no recent origin. Born and raised
and having lived in Knox county the greater
part of my life l was nevertheless taught
from my earliest infancy, to look upon the
Institution of slavery ms a fragrant violation of
" The Rights of Man. and am proud to say
that was an original friend of the coored race
This mere fact however, gives me no precedence
over those who have come to see the interests of
men in the same light in which / was taught to
regard them from my youth up and which
views have grown with my growth and strength
ened with my strength. Several very clever
gentlemen are already announced rs my COM
petitors, and others are perhaps in allegiance,
against whom | shall have nothing but the kind
est words to utter. l stand not on hereditary
nights ne do | seek an election through
the influences of ancestral prestige, but sub
NIT my claims to the people, at the ballot box,
believing that they have the good sense to nc
cept or reject men for office, because of rhdt
they are, and not for Dhat they might hare been.
Hoping to see and interchange opinions with as
many of you as possible between now and the
election,
am yours truly,
JAMES n. RAY.

Lecture ON Judaism

bled at the First Presbyterian Church, on last
Sabbath, to listen to "A lecture delivered by Rev.
DIR. Kalish, of Newark, New Jersey. The lee
ture was both interesting and instructive. Our
readers will pardon Us for not following the
learned Doctor through II period of 5000 years
and enumerating all the changes and modifca-
tons the ancient faith, buddhism, has under
gone during this long time; more so from the
ground that the subject might not have proved
interesting to a majority of our readers. The
speaker proving his arguments by nun lrous
quotations from the Holy Scriptures dis played
great research in this kind of litera azure, for
which he is well known in the Eastern and
Western cities, where the larger number of his
eoreligionists dwell.

An Ess.ntin, of LONELINESS.

To be entirely beautiful the hair should be
abundant and lustrous. This is absolutely es-
sental to complete loveiness. The most regu-
lar features, the most brilliant complexion and
pearlies teeth fail of their due effect if the hair
be thin, dry or harsh. On the contrary the
plainest face, if it be but surmounted by luxu-
rant and slken tresses is apt to impress the be
holder with sense of actual beauty. That
GROWING ornament of her sex is, happily, with
in the reach of lovely woman, and being as dis
eliminating rs she is lovely, she long ago dis
covered that Lyons Kathairon WAS the sure
means of securing it, No preparation for the
Hair ever enjoyed 1.-THE of its popularity, and
no wonder, since it produces such gratifying re-
suits. Applied 70 the waste and barren places
of the scalp, it fructifes and enriches them with
a new and ample growth. 1t is not, of course,
pretended that it will do this it the capacity for
that wonderful rehabilitant will assure6ly pro-
pagate the germ of the hair into life and activ-
i,y.

Wyandot County Republican. [volume] (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1869-1903, 1872-05-23

The Baltimore American whose
editor is delegate to the Philadel-
phia Convention:was recently suspi-
cioned of getting weak in the knees
on the Grant question, thus and de-
fines his position:
Suffice it to say that as q delegate
to the Philadelphia convention, we
shall do all in our power to sescure
the denomination of President Grant
and Vice President Colfax; that the
withdraw of President Grant would,
in our opinion, greatly lesson the
chance of Republican success, and
that with prudence and patriotism
on the part of the Philadelphia con-
vention. we may confidently rely on
the result next November. While
we regard the denomination of Pres
ident Grant as the wisest course for
the party to pursue,..we desire that
his personal popularity and the hon
orable record of his administration
shall be backed by a platform that
will commend itself to every intelli
gent. thinking Republican in the land
and to this end we hope that at Phil
adelphia there will be the fullest
freest expression and comparison ol
views of representative men who will
be assembled there. We have plenty
ofconfidence in our leader for fight,
and when the results of the victory
are clearly assured to the country
and it finds them worth balloting for,
we do not fear the results"
