MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE, Sept. IS, 1851.
To the Editor of the Standard:
Dear Sir: see by your paper which comes to me
weekly and which eagerly read to get the news from
my much loved home, as usual, jackson County Re-
publcans alive and awake, and making an earnest
and vigorous fight to win. 1 still believe the Repub-
lean party ought succeed that the party ought to
continued in the control of the great State Ohio
and last but not least the Republicans Will continue
to control jackson County am particularly anxious
to the Republican candidates ofmy old county
successful all of whom are my personal friends, and
with nearly all of whom personal relations have
been such, that feel warranted in saying without
of successful contradiction, that better or
stronger ticket could not have been placed before the
voters of Jackson County. While L have naught to
say against Democratic candidates individuals
of them personal friends our associations
have been such that believe them to ne honorable
and honest men, and far as private association and
business matters concerned, worthy the conf
cence of would ask the voters of the old reliable
jackson. wise Is it polite, to give these men
of your county just because they are honest
reliable bucincsS men?
Let me ask you 10 consider the past record of both
parties, SO to comprehend what we may expect OF
those parties the future. Oar country owes to the
Republican party her prosperity. 1t Is under hepuo-
lican management that our business interests nave
prospered 1t is under Republican wisdom that our
free institutions have to such magnitude and
1t is due to Republican fnanciering that our public
debt is gradually but surely diminishing; so mat
to-day our country is better and more solid f.
nancia basis and the business interests of all KINDS
in better condition than before. Such being
the fact afford to risk change? Can we afford
to let the election by default and the control OF
the great State of Ohio be placed in this hands Of the
Democracy? The answer is, we cannot. We have
tried the experiment and cannot afford it. We do
not want our institutions recognized they have
been in the past, and incompetent and dishonest men
placed at the head of them. We should be just as
honest in political convictions as we are in
religion, and support such and only such men |
and measures Will result in the greatest amount of
good to the greatest number of citizens. Taking
the past as precedent, safe while Republicans
man the ship of State. We have tried them twenty |
years. and Notwithstanding passed through the |
greatest civil of modern times, have been Wis
tied with epidemics that have cast gloom our
country, and millions ofproperty have been destroyed
by the fire fend and other causes, the general busi
ness interests and wealth of the nation has increased
more within the twenty years of Republican manage
men than in the three fouPths cfa century of Demo-
cratic rule Let continue in the future have
in the past. Let keep Republicans at The head of
our Government, and all viii be well.
Times here getting better than they during
the summer. Cotton is coming to market lively, and
money beginning to circulate more freely. 1t has
