select available timber Tor Congress
sional candidate in this the thi.d dis
trict. Already the name OF Hon. II. c.
McDougal. Of Gallatin. has been men
toned, probably without his know
ledge OF consent. man whom we are
not acquainted with, but one whom we
have been assured by both Republicans
and Democrats, stands high in the
scales as gentleman of ability with
an untarnished character; bur while
this is the fact we will also present the
name Of another, hero and states
man; man whose Repuollcanism is
untarnished: whose name will COM
mand the respect of every soldier, as
citizen who loved the Union in lis days
of peril: man who enlisted as pri-
va'e soldier and returned an honored
General. aS brave as ever trod on south
ern soil, man who suffered number
less deaths in tie Southern prison
pens:a man who is perhaps as deserv-
lng as any whose name ever graced a
muster roll: and that man is Gen. Ben.
VI. Prentice. of Bethany.
We place his name before the dis
trict as candidate without his know
ledge or consent, and We firmly believe
he will make a strong race, should he
permit his name to come before the
convention Grant City Star.
We heartily second the above and
believe it TO be the sentiment of our
party in this county Gen. Prentice is
splendid campaigner, and if any man
in the district can arouse the patriot
ism necessary to secure his election it
is he We have reason to believe that
with such man for candidats as
Gen. Prentice. we can carry this dis
tric., ana we want to try the eXperl-
