candidate for Congress. desire TO en-

and to add few reasons why he should
be the nominee. He is unquestionably
the choice of the people of the district.
This must be apparent to the most super

WINGED and assured of this fact. Mr..
Good is we'll and favorably known
throughout the whole State. The
boldness and manhood exhibited
by his course in the last Legislature,
together with his ability as lawyer and
eloquence as an orator, have stamped him
rs man well worthy to represent US in
the national Congress. The energy and
diligence with which he attended to his
duties, shows that he is admirably adapted
fer the worl, OF legislator. Never dur

the twenty day session held by the I'm

the stump when ever called upon, and
We all know with what ability he has
vindIcated our principles. Two years
ago, at great sacrifice of his profession
al and pecuniary interests he consented
to serve his county in the Legislature ana
he served it faithfully.
But there is another reason why Mr..
Good should be nominated. In all
probability General Golf will again be
the Republican candidate. 1t is well
known that at the last election
h. came very near getting away with
Col Wilson. 1t was entirely too close
to be amusing. Now, while we do not
say that Mr.. Good is the only man that
can beat Mr.. Con, we do say that there
is no other man who could so ably conf

Let us have a man who can sustain our
side of the struggle; who can combine
and concentrate every element of the
party to his support; who can so unrouse
their enthusiasm and stir up their pstri-
otism that all will delight in supporting
him, and work with energy and a will

party. DEMOCRAT.
