MEMPHIS APPEAL
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 81, 1855
CASEY voUNs NOMINATED.


The APPEAL, having zealously and earn
estIy advocated the nomination Of the Hon.
Casey Young as the Democratic Candidate
to represent this district in Congress, OF
course. is gratified at the result OF the Con-
yention held in this city yesterday. IL
was composed OF as thorough representa-
tive men OF the party a. ever Assem-
bled together, and, after a careful canvass
aud leaving nothing undone by which TO test
the merits and the strength of the asPlrants'
Colonel Young was selected as The Standard
bearer OF his party. He is no stranger 10
his party, but well and favorably known to
the voters of this district, having been thor
oughly tried in the off cial crueible and
established satisfactorily his claim TO the
position for which he was yesterday NOM
mated. AS he has already given perfect
earn eat of his capacity, and the Convention
has pfsced its seal of appreciation upon his
psst record, it will no doubt be the pleasant
duty of the Democracy OF the district TO
render him = cordial, hearty and stead
fast support, and TO see TO it that his election
be secured by the united party vote. All
human tests are valueless if anyone, in the
face of Colonel YouDg's past record as
member of Congress, can hesitate as to the
duty of giving him cordial support. The
nomination of Colonel Young will no doubt
be hailed with qualification in the four conn
ties composing the district not only because
the people feel that their interests will be
cared for by him in the future as they have
been in the past, bnt also because they regard
him as the man whose election can be most
easily secured. Now that this struggle is
over let us join hands in an earnest effort TO
elect the nominee. For six years Colonel
Young earnestly devoted himself to the in
terests of his constituents, while his services
in the national council have extended be-
yand mere local lines. He has been one OF
the abiest and most conservative Legislators
the American Congress has had during the
decade in which he has conspicuously
figured The only abuse cast upon him has
been by men who have tried 10 use him and
failed He has been famous in Washington
for opposing loose and corrupt apPropria-
iions, and strict attention to his duties and
diligence in furtherIng the interests OF his
constituents. The duty of all true Demo-
Gratis is now too plain for instruction. II is
10 vote and work for the the election OF
Casey Young. Let us go into the fight de-
termined TO redeem this district and to elect
a man to Congress who has already served
the people faithfully and satisfactorily.

very forcibly showed the Democratic party
that together they would stand, and that di-
yided they would fall. During the time he
spoke ne was often applauded. 1t Is net
necessary to say that his speech was a rous-
ing one, for everyone knows that Senator
Harris is one of the leading speakers OF the
