Run your eye once more carefully oyer
tho Ter. ticket which stands at the head
of another column OF The ADVOCATE,
and give 1t your praycrful consideration
for its same good makeup will probably
not greet you again. For weeks it has
stood the naughty gaze of the public,
asking for approval and shall the asking
be in vain? Hon. II. F. Pettigrew for
member in Congress-, is as good timber as
can be produced in tho territory. He has
worked assidously in the past for the
wants OF the people, and his influence in
Congress will be great for the interests Of
Dakota and her citizens. This can be
relied upon for he has been tried and
found not wanting as to both his honesty
and capabilities. He is persevering and
deservedly fitted for the position to which
he aspires. Show your true appreciation
of Mr.. Pettigrew by electing him your
next Congressman, by "a handsome ma
jorlty."
An interesting letter has been recciv-
ed at this office from 4 gentleman tray
cling in the Sunny South detailing the
crime Of being a Republican. The arti-
Gle puts more light upon the assaults of
northern men received at the hands of
the southern brigadiers and tho free
SPECIFIED (D confederacy. This gentle
man was a victim to base and brutal as
saults and narrowly escaped with his life.
Among ether things he says: Let any
man go from the north to the south and
express southern sentiments and talk
freely and he will be received with open
arms; but should he be a Republican at
heart, and in the strength Of his manhood
honestly express his convictions, not only
will society ostracise him and business
men frown upon him, but he may consid-
or himself fortunate if he escapes without
outrage; such was my misfortune, and
instead of adopting time serving policy,
I expressed my honest views, and it near
ly cost me my life. My escape was for
tunetc one, and due wholly to my dcsper-
alton. Southern papers and partisan
sheets at the north may denounce and
villify me as they CHI bose, but such is the
truth, and by this am willing to abldc.'
