WASHINGTON CRY, June 25, 1872.
Ma. EprroR.-The announcement of the
Hon A. X. l}oteler, Of Jefferson County, for
Congress, has given great pleasure 10 his many
friends in this city aud should think that
his nomination ~IIl be regarded by the people
OF your District as one ennenlly fit and prop
er to be made at this particular time.
For, besides Col. Bo,eler's acknowledged
ability, his unblemIshed reput alton, his Legis-
latiTe experience, his devotion 10 the public
good, his energy, hrmness, fanhiuIuess and
truth, he, also, combines IN himself tuose e'e-
u.enIs personal popularity which will win
/ 10 his support, not only the undivided support
Of the Democratic Conservative Party, bat
! also ii large number Of is Liberal Republicans.
! Iii, political and personal record before the
war-GurIng lis continuance and since the
/ surrender IS such mast urque-tIonabIy COM
m4ud for him the CDhGdence Of all parties IN
ms periec. sincerity aud his unseiE.sA devotion
10 whatever cause lac may espou,e.
la the present anomalous and chaotic con-
di;ou Of national politics no mere Pdrt'zsn can
meet tire requirements Of ;he coming canvass.
The people are heartily tired OF beng man
aged by unreliable Politicians. They have no
ialih IN their llitteriug professions, no eoih'
, dence in the stability of lhelr worn out plat
forms and they plainly see dat party names
have lost their tUrper significance. Hence,
Democrats and Republicans alike are restive
under the rule Of theif seli-consuiuIed leaders
and are every where, tram ling uuder foot the
efele political organizations Of the past.
So tina! the times propitous for the Sc
lection, as candidates for Congress, just such
men as Mr.. Botelcr, who whilst manigy
maintaining villa, they honestly believe 10 be
right are ever ready TO do justice 10 the opin-
ions OF others: and who do not belong TO that
impraclcahls ca's of Radicals and extremists
" ho. Ike the old Bourbons, are Incapable
of proGlng by the lessons Of The present a
they are OF forgetting tie pTeiudices Of the
past. Yours, &c, IL.
