A Good Candidate for Cong gress.
Editors OF the Register.
There never was period in the his
tory OF our country when the nation
called aloud with az much earnestness
for honest and efficient officers
There never wac, ip the history ofo
government, as great a demand for
honest and incorruptible meu-Few,
indeed, at Washington can compare
with Caesars wife, or cay they are ab,vs
suspicion. Robbery upon the grandest
scale-pejury a joke-villany and
crime OF every hue and color,
from the Executive mansion down 10
tide waiter, stalks the streets at brosi
MONDAY. The Senate aud Congress OF
the United States initiate their PfesI-
dent by making it public auction
room, selling their patronage 10 the
highest bidder. Messrs. Editors, Rome
once did the same thing, and in the
name OF honor and humanity let Ter
fate be a warning to US and our child
rem. If our country, once prosperous
and happy, must 90 10 the devil, In
Gods name let it not be said she had
an agent from the First Congressional
District in her destruction. Rather let
il be SAID, she had representative
whose clarion voice and eloquent
tongue could be heard whilst s.hope
remained or liberty an advocate.
Then again, say, Messrs Editors
when corruption has thusseized the body
polite, destroying aud consuming her
vitality, is it not all-important that we
select a man for our next Congress who
nec.sssr, ,GrIne 1;vasIUu = Is s.,v os-
lection Of such q man allow me TO sug-
gest the name OF the Hon. j. Hanson
| Good, OF Wheeling. Mr.. Good is well
and favorably known to the people, not
only OF the First Congressional district,
but to the State at large.
Asa lawyer, he is aToDg the frst IN
the State, as an advocate, be has few
EQUALS and no superiors. AS poIiu-
ciau he is open, fair and honest, q
splendid debster and eloquent speaker,
and above all, honorable. honest and
incorruptible. The very name OF Good
in West Virginia is enough. 1t Is a
SYNONYM for honesty and strict integ-
ritv. He is the very man TO Inyestl-
gate the monstrous frauds that are daily
committed by a horde OF PiuOder'ng
thieves upon the public treasury. There
would be no whitewsshing with him.
He has the will, the energy and moral
courage to investigate and expose to
apy honest public every nefarious
act. Such is Mr.. Good.
Such is the man we want,
In saving this much tor Mr.. Good, ]
do not wish to cast the least disparage-
ment upon the claims OF others who
NAV as pire, but do claim that he has
strong, very strong, claims upon the
Democracy OF Weet Virginia, and
especially the Democracy OF OHIO
county. :. o..
Ohio county has had but a very limit
ed share OF public patronage for the
lsst number OF yesrs, and indeed the
only favor shown US was in the last
eonyention, giving US a candidate ior
Supreme Judge, the Hon. james Paul
an honor to the bench and State. And
who must we thank, who are We in-
debted to for the honor and the favor
It was at the earnest and eloquent ap.
! peal of Mr.. Good. No man doubts bic
J wisdom in the selection Of such a mar
ss Mr. PAUL.
Itis a common phrase FOR politicians
to say, The present is crisis in tb'
atfairs OF our country" Is not th,
. present a crisis, and has it not been 6
crisis for the last piue years? Nip'
; long, long and weary years, ard ther'
. stands the debt undiminished. Not
withstauding the increase OF wealth ant
population, Notwithstanding a systen
OF cruelty and robbery upon the peopl

"uudimlnished."
Compare our national debt nine year
8 ago with that Of France three year
, ago, and zee how our financial matter
have been managed. ~
To-day France, 60 lar as her fusuc
is concerned, is Tree asd happy. Ho'
is it with our debt2 Why, not on
