Ths 0rasshopper Nes Era says:
Our growing STATE has great Interests u
sake, acd Ve caaoos a6ord to send new and
untitled men to Washington, Who xould IN
all probability serve out their term without
SECURING the in6ueocs and respect already
commanded BY Phillip.
The following i from the Atchi.on Cham.
pion:
Col. Phillips hiss made an indus,ricu. aud
useful Congressman, and sequel fer HIM
self the high regard Of his Colleagues. His
influence is conceded. and The reputation he
has slWays borne a. an hOnest and conscien-
iious man has BEEN maintained ut Washing

does). she has her remedy the same q, any
other section. And il 10 not BY crying out
corruption" "ineOmpetent repx senta.
tives." ETC., and organizing reform parties,
but By returning men who have accom-
plished all that could be accomplished by
new members in the same length Of time
they have served.
The following 10 from the Lawrence
Journal, one Of the most careful and Krn-
dent papers in the State: -
II /, very Iare that any new member has
been able in single term TO achieve posi- :
ton OF A. much influence and prominence as
that now held BY Col. Phillips. 1. would,
in our opinion, be very unfortunate thing
for the whole State to lose his services.
The Oska!oosa Indepsndent say.:
We may cay in this connection that Mr..
Phillips has made faithful representative,
has obtsined influence in tbs House, and
vill be more useful 10 8, cond term than 10
. first, because knowledge in Consreps ~
any where sle ia power. 1t is bad policy
to chsnge Members of Congress often, when
one II found who ia faithful and true.
The Ma,ysriue Nsrs says:
Congressman w. A. PHILIPS is daily
gaining strength in the wettern counties fol
reelection. The sciion of the committee in
placing the convention at Leavenworth,
the extreme eastern corner OF the district,
to hurt hi. chances, hiss only cemented the
western portion Of the district in his favor
Sometime, the way you Try 10 kill man of

large majority the choice OF the people Of

niiied and upright gentleman, good par.

ton. and We are assured that should be be,
he will be elected by rousins majority.
The Douipbsn County Republican says
We regard the race a. lying with Mr.
Phillips, the pres Mt incumhen', and judge
Nathan Price, Of this county. Mr.. Philli, 8
