To the people OF the Third Congressional
District Of North Carolina:
FELLOW CrTIzENs:-For good and sufh
cient reasons | am induced to offer you my
services TO represent you in the next Con
gress of the tnited States. | am not a par
'ty man and have gwen but one vote for
President since the war. That was for
Samuel j. TIlden. | am not after the Pres
ident, nor Congress, nor It's honors, or i'm
mediate rewards so far a. | am individual
ly concerned, a | am now nearly - years
old. | never wanted any office in my life,
and will soon be done with all earthly gov
ernments and affairs. But | am for the
people, and the whole people, whether
Hancock or Garfield or any one else is Presi-
deut. Party Spirit, and Party Politicians,
with a determination to rule, have ruined
US and fear will continued 10 do 80. Ny
motto i "Isdcs on edrth, anil goo{ W,H
oHt0Hg MN. am against High Tariffs
and heavy Taxation, especially at such aume,
and under such circumstances. as We have
been suffering since the war.
| am for the President, and Congress, do
ing what they can, To benefit the country
and the people. II they are our servants,
and don work for our interest, | am for
turning them of, and employing other ser
wants good honest humble servants, that
will be as true to their masters as good old
Abrahams servant was, when he sent him
to search a wife for his son Isaac. | am for
giving the people a currency money a plen
ty, to be placed III a manner that all good
honest men can be accommodated with a
sufficient quantity to meet reasonable de-
mands, whether they be rich or poor, and
that upon the most reasonable terms. We
have had IA great family quarrel, and family
tight, which Is disgrace 10 the nation on
both sides. | think we ought TO arraigu
ourselves at the Bar Of Justice, and each
man or party pay his own cost, and be friend
ly or let the leaders IN the matter, pay all
cost, and let the poor people OF the county
come tree, Ii was IN Congress, sooner
than | would vote TO tax the widows and
orphans of Southern soldiers, killed in the
war, or tax our manned ard ruined soldiers
here, to pay pensions, To the men that did
the deed, | would resign my seat, or divide
my salary with them. No magnanlmous
people will exact 1t, or contend about 1t,
when confronted and talked with IN the
proper way. 1t seems that nowadays, III
order to qualify "a man for Congress that he
must be a strong party man he must know
how to talk fippantIy, tell anecdotes, and be
a. iSCob u oiS CitSh SAAi' III CtaNi W
put down or over come his opponents, while
"a good deal less words fifty spoken, would
nswer a better purpose. There cannot be
a vote lost by casting 1t for HARRIS IYsoR.
Have you bettered 1t IN the last 20 years ?
Can you better it now? One party IS enough.
4 house divided against itself can stand,
two can walk together except they be agreed
We ought to come at once and reason
together, or ty what we could do for the
good Of the people, and honor o. the Ma
ton before the world, that other nations
might call US a Blessed People; a righteous
nation; a happy people; whose God IS the
Lord having care one tor another. We
talk about being a Christian people, and il
a heather had been here during the war,
he would have been puzzled to know what
kind of religion ours was, and indeed 1t
has we'll nigh turned some of our own PEG
pie infidels. Born and raised in a land of
Bibles. hundreds have sickened and died at
the thoughts of the past. | shall only say
to those who know me, and talk against
me, many good deeds have | done, for
which of these do ye stone me ! have
eat my bread, in the sweat Of my lace, and
still make my living by the work Of my
hands. If circumstances would allow 1t,
would canvass the whole district. |
think | shall be at the State Fair, and if |
have the chance, make a speech there.
HARRIS TYsoR.
Mr.. Tysor enters the field somewhat late
in the camp III n-as well as In hfe-but his
sentiments are lofty and uneXceptionable.
If elected, we hope he will carry them out.
