pe.ent aud of good character.
FOR CONGRESS.
Newton Black. Esq, had no opposi'
tion in the county and will therefore
be presented to the district convention
- the unanimous choice of this
county. He is worthy, and the right
of our county to the district nomins-
tion is as good rs that of any other
county of tho district. The district
is . new one, Beaver and Lawrence
counties being sdded to the old one
of which Butler and Mercer were
parts. The present member in Con-
gress within the bounds Of the new
district is Col o. L. Jackson, OF
Lawrence county. He As been re-
nominated in Lawrence and will be
presented to the district convention
o. the new district for nomination.
Beaver county will also present .
candidate in the person of Mr.. G. G.
Townsend. Mercer county has not
yet held her primary and who her
candidate may be is therefore yet nm.
known. But there will be one from
each of the four counties Of the dis
trict before the district convention
when it meets in New Castle, and 20
far Is we have any knowledge on the
subject we do not see why the right
of Butler county is not fully as good
to the district nomination as that OF
any other county Of the district.

that he represented the county honor
ably and faithfully. and with credit
to himself. He is q popular man In
his ways. with pleasant address and
appearance. ard of the best moral
character. This district is composed
OF Armstrong and Butler counties and
. lively contest for the district nomi-
nation is anticipated. No stronger
man could be presented to the people
of the district than the Doctor aud
we hope to hear of his receiving the
nomination. Our County Conven.
tion on Monday gave him the power
to appoint his own conferrees. to
meet similar ones from Armstrong
county to settle upon the nominee.
