INDIANAPOLIS JoURNAL4 MONDAY OCTOBER e. 1854.

Voorhees, for the next six years would either
be Dan Voorhees, himself. or some other Demo
crat equally as dangerous and unreliable in his
political tendencies. Such an occurrence would
be great political calamity. Let us see to it
then that Marion county gives forth uncer-
tain sound. Let US resolve to be represented by
an unbroken phalanx of Republicans in our
next Legislature. Vote forthe whole Legislative
ticket This is no time for personal animos
ties and little spites to stand between us and
our duty to our country and to prosperity
some other day, not to-day" And especially
to colored Republicans, vote for your own rep
reese ntative John Wilson.
''Do not give the white people the chance to
say this time, well your man would have been
elected, if the coored people had supported HIM
Support him, work for him, talk for him, vote
for him. In every sense he is worthy of our
support. He resorted to no chieanery for his
nomination. He is a straightforward, honest
man and citizen For years he has lived in our
midst and the finger of accusation has never
been pointed at him. He is honest He is hon
orable. His life has been open book He
has done nothing that he need blush for--noth-
ing needs explaining. Next to his country he
loves his race. He is widely informed, has read
much and understands to a rare degree the in
tricacies of government. He is not what is
called brilliant mana sky-rocket He makes
no pretense. But, better than that he is a man
| to be relied upon. He can say mo- when he
ought to, and has learned the value of yes. If
elected he will do his duty to his State and his
constituency.
Then do your duty towards him, to your race
for it is little by little that the distractions
that stand in the way Of our progress must be
overcome"
MAJOR ROSS AS A SOLDIER.
To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal
The Hon. George II. Carter Democratic can
didate for sheriff is around electioneering and
circulating pamphlet of his life, telling how he
braved the hardships of an overland trip to Cali
l. I 1.
tell of any hardships endured az a soldier during
the late rebellion While he may have good rec
ord as a citizen, yet we think his opponent Major
James A Ross, has one equally as good, while
his record as a soldier, during four years and
over, lays Mr.. Carriers so-called hardships in the
shade. Carter simply endured his troubles for
the benefit of his own pocket, but Major Ross
bore the hardsh!ps and sufferngs of soldiers
life that his country might live and future gen
erations be benefited thereby. The people said
at the close of the war that never would the
debt of gratitude due the soldiers be forgot"
and believe they will not forget that James X.
Ross was one of the brave Hoosier boys who
served his country, and served her well, in time
of peril and danger, instead of being in the land
of gold, laying Up treasure for personal use. Let
US see how well the people will remember our
old comrade at the polls in November.
