The sympathies of the people OF this con-
gressional district will cluster around this
distinguished gentleman in his mlslortunes'
During the past week his sister has lost two
children, and OF course the tender heart OF
the loving brother is ssddened and oppressed
BIZ these family sAlctioEs. 1t is hoped he
will submit to them with philosophy and
continue the canvass in defense Of the great
interests Of he people. The Roman hero
who saw his favorite son and tower OF
strength fall in battle, kissed his lips still
warm, and said: Noble boy, have not
time 10 weep for you now" and plunged into
the fight. Great az is the sorrow and sym
patty of Col. Young, ne should continue
the fight SO nobIy begun and which
promises such a brilliant victory. II
ia relief. however, to know that his cleo
ton is aszured, even if his sorrows should
induce him to join the stricken household
There can be no question Of the election oil
Col. Young. This is the desire oil large
majority OF the people of this congressional
district, and the National Democracy has
manifested and expressed an earnest and
profound anxiety to see Col Young returned
10 Congress, the theater of his former tri-
umphs and usefulness. The Southern Farm
and FTresids voices this general feeling in
the following extract:
We have read carefully the great speech of this
gentleman as pnPlished in the memphis tIenn-l

contrasting the Democratic and Republican par
ties, that the PEAL publishes 1t substantially as
he uttered it,. 1t viii be found valuable CON
LributiOn to the political literature of the day"
speech itself. we fully indorse and besides appeal
in the name OF honesty, decency and intelligence
to the people of Mr.. YOungs district, independent
of politics, to see to It that he is elected to the
FOrty-eighth Congress, in order that they may be

ture where the monOpOlists are on the exc OF de-
clAring their Independence Of the people whose
servants they are.
The Hon. Casey Young is an inveterate foe OF
Rsdicalism he is the persistent enemy OF monop
olyi he is, as we have said before, OF, from and
with the PEOPLE, AID his defeat would not only De
outrage, but disgrace to his district.
Under these circumstances we appeal to the
grange and labor elements of his district to rally
else the Agricultural and laboring interests OF his
district win be oEer-ridden by that corporate
power which al ne, IN his ststesmAnhke speech
In the Forty-ffth and Forty-sixth Congresses he
and Grounds and his record as such will stand
the test OF public scrutiny and prove TO the people
circumstances.
Casey Young is the right man for the
occasion. He can serve his constituents
more efficiently than his competitor because
OF his long experience and great popularity.
In all the other Southern States the people
are urging a return TO Congress their
tried and faithful representatives upon the
ground that the average congressman, WHEN
raw to the business, will have many trials 10
endure. He cannot expect to make any
decided progress until he has served con-
siderable novitiate, acquainting himself with
the rules and making himself agreeable 10
the veteran members. II, in obedience to
the clamor of foolish people at home, he
thrusts himself prematurely to the front,
friends and foes will proceed 10 "sit upon
him." as the phrase goes, and no more
unhappy and useless man exists than
the greenhorn who has been thus "bot-
tied up" or sat down upon" The
young or old man freshly sent to Congress,
unless, as we said, he possesses sur
passing qualities, must make up his
mind 10 be patient industrious and self
respecting He will not-have an "essYn
time, especially when garden-seeds and pa
tronsge are in request; but his opportunity
will come in due Eeason, and If found worthy
there will be no lack of asserting himself
usefully and for the common good of himself
and his people. There will certainly be a
Democratic majority IN the next House OF
Representatives, aud-0 u55y -YeHns-a--~
member, with his long experience, great
ability and popularity, would be enabled 10
serve his constituents with an efficiency
which new member opposed by the ma
iority could not exercise. Judge Smith, if
elected, would go to Congress novice in
parliamentary affairs, and opposed by
Democratic majority he Gould not bene-
fit the people. 1t would take the
whole of his first term to become familiar
with the rules and methods of the
House. Col. Young would at once step into
= commanding position by reason of his long
experience and great popularity. There is
another consideration which Democrats
should not forget. If the Republicans have
a majority in the House of Representatives
they will expel, on party grounds, every
Democrat who il elected in district which
the Republicans claim as their own. They
claim every district in which there is ma
iority Of colored votes, according to the CEN
SUE, whether the colored voters support The
Republican candidates or not. The Republi-
cans claim this district, and although there are
several thousand negroes openly and avowed-
~ advocating the election of Col. Young, he
will he denied his seat unless his majority he
overwhelming. To prevent this possible
contingency, let US elect Casey Young by
such a majority that even Radical rascality
dare not attempt to steal his seat in Congress.
