Gen. Samuel MCGOWAN.

The Conservative Convention, which met IN
Newberry on Thursday last to nominate can
didate for Congress, has placed in nomination
citizen whom the people this section delight
10 honor, and whose record as public servant
in days gone by remains clear and untarnished.
Gen, Samuel MCGOWAN, of Abbeville, was the
choice of the Convention, and we are confident
the honest people Of the Third Congressional
District will endorse this choice at the polls
on the 3rd of November. Our distinguished
friend is too widely known to require any
lengthy introduction to the good people OF An
derson County, and his personal friends are too
numerous to need any special appeal for gen.
erous rally to his support. None can deny his
fitness and capacity for the position, and naught
can be said in derogation of his character as
public man and private citizen. Letall classes
mite in securing his election, and once more
the Third Congressional District will be repre-
sented fairly, ably and impartialy in the
halls of Congress.

a full recognition of the rights of the colored
race, and upon the duty and necessity of seek
ing their cooperation in all measures tending
to the rehabilitation of the State the restora-

good name. Should he be elected to the House
Of Representatives, for which position he had
been nominated, he would address himself
with all his powers and all his zeal to the
grateful tasks which would then deyolve upon
him. He discerned already change in the
feeling of the people of this great country
towards the Southern States, and it would be
the ambition of his life to throw himself upon
the wave of its returning justice: He felt a
conviction that he would live through these
dark times and yet see such representatives. as
he now looked upon meet in these very halls
to rejoice over ransomed people.

Gen. KerShaW.

This distinguished gentleman and incorrup-
tibIep patriotreceived the unanimous nomination
for Congress in the Fourth Congressional Dis
trict, and has already entered upon vigorous
and active canvass among the people. The
indications are that he will defeat the renegade
Wallace. With Kershaw and MCGOWAN as the
honored representatives Of free people, the
dawn of better times would come upon South

secure their election to Congress.

ARnEyILIE, S. c.. October 9.

ABDEv1LLE S. c., October g.
Gents. Your letter of this date informing
ME that had been Unanimously chosen by
the convention organized at Newberry G. H.,
as the candidate for Congress for the Third
Congressional District" was delivered to me
this day, and answer at once.
The first emotion is that of gratitude for the
confidence implied in the nomination, but
along with that feeling comes deep sense OF
the responsibility imposed and of my inability
to fulfil the Just expectations of the gentlemen
of the convention feel that after all my ef-
forts, may fail in being the true exponent and
representative of the large and honorable por-
ton of the body polite which put me forward.
A seat in Congress is always an important
office but at this time in the peculiar condition
of the State it is immensely important to all
honest conservative citizens, who are strug-
Cling for voice in public affairs with view
to reform the administration of Government.
did not seek the nomination, having been so
long unconnected with public affairs had lost
all taste for politics, and thought that was not
fitted to make political campaign as conduct
ed in these times nor to discharge satisfactorily
the delicate duties of the high office. The con-
yeption thought otherwise, and, without solici-
tation has put me in nomination. [ accept the
call as command and will endeavor to do my
duty. It can hardly be necessary for me to
make personal canvass of the whole Congress
sional District. I have lived here all my life
and I suppose every voter, either from personal
knowledge or information, knows who am and
what are my antecedents. They know that
am a moderate conservative citizen, and ever
since the war, in favor of peace and fraternity
between the sections and justice and kindliness
between the races.
Permit me, at the outset, to make one sug-
gestion. In the constituency to which appeal
is made there are infammable elements, COM
posed as it is of two races nearly equal in num-
Der. These classes have common interest in
the result and have equal rights at the polls.
If elected, I feel that shall be the representa-
tive of both. From natural temperament, as
we'll as from sense of duty l am opposed to
the least violence or injustice, and | accept the
nomination and undertake to make the canvass
with the earnest hope that We are to have a
fair election, and that every man shall be al
lowed to cast his vote for the candidate of his
choice without fear or favor and with perfect
impunity. If finjustice is done let it not be on
our part We think we have merits upon
which to rest and upon these alone we rely.
This is our determination and we pledge our
selves to it. We hope our opponents will be
animated by the same spirit and join us in Sc
curing fair election and an honest count.
Trusting that the right will prevail, with a
firm resolve, and not without hope, than king
you for the kind terms in which you have been
pleased to convey the wishes of the convention
am, gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
S. MCGOWAN.

was held in Georgia last week, and resulted IN
complete and overwhelming victory tor the
Democrats. Only three Counties elected he
