THE THIRD CONGRESSIONAL
DISTRICT

The death of Hon. E. J. Gay
has given the Republicans hope
of securing their 80 much need.
ed working majority in the
Nationa, House Of Representa-.
tives. BY a repetition OF the
tactics which elected Dudley
@ ,leman in the second, they
look to capture the third.
They expect by the nomina.
ton of a man of personal worth,
and who, in important local
issues sympathizes with the
masses OF his fellow citizens, to
elect him by the aid of Demo.
cratic votes. In this view a
number of leading Republicans
having sung the funeral of the
negro in politics, have put for
ward the name of n. @. Minor,
q man who, in every direction,
meets their aspirations. In the
purity of his private life and
the integrity of his public
character Mr.. Miuor undoubt-
cdly merits every confidence
with which his fellow citizens
may he disposed to entrust him.
But in the present crisis the
issue is in no sense a personal
one.
The parties in the coming
congress are so evenly balanced
that a single vote may deter.
mine questions in which the
Southis vitally interested. The
old negro, carpet.bag, scalawag
faction in Louisiana may have
been buried, but it is in the
"hope of a joyful resurrection
The snake Is ScOCcned, not KILL
ed, and when it returns to life
it will be found to have lost
none of it's old venom.
Our fellow Democrats of the
shird district owe it to tue great
Democratic party of the nation
not to let this election go
against them through any fault
OF their own. Let them nomi-
nate a worthy successor of the
]amented Gay, laying aside
every element of jealousy and
tliscord and, moving forward
with the enthusiasm the crisis
merits, and victory is certain

sooner or later, at the foot of

portance that a safe and stub

GOD BLESS you.

From N. o. Morning Star.
How sweetly fall these simple words
Upon the human heart,
When friends long bound by strong
est ties.
Are doomed by fate to part.
You sadly press the hand of those
Who thus in love caress you,
And soul responsive beats to soul,
In breathing out ''God bless you"
"God bless you;" ah! long months
/ heard the mournful phrase,
When one whom I in childhood loved
We1t from my dreamy gaze.
Now binding tears fall thick and
fast
mourn my long lost treasure,
While echoes Of the heart bring
back,
The farewell prayer 'fGed bless
you"
The mother sending forth her boy
To scenes untried and new,
Lisps not a studied, stately speech,
Nor murmurs out "adieu.''
She sadly says, between her sobs,
| Where'er misfortunes press you,
Come to thy mother, boy, come back
I Then sadly sighs, 'God bless you
"God bless you," more of expressed
I love
| Reveal we thus our trust in Him,
Than volumes without number,
/ Whose eyeids never slumber.
l ask in parting no long speech.
Il Drawled out in studied measure,
I only ask the dear old words
| So sweet-so sad-sGod bless you

CvERo, DEWITT Co.. October -, 1850.
Dear Advocate and Readers Having
travelled hundreds Of miles circuilously in the
past few weeks, ! can say that this part Of the
country is as prosperous as | ever saw IL.
For near three months tremendous sluiee
of cotton has been pouring into the railroad
markets-at this place amounting to many
thousands Of dollars worth daily. Prices
remain firm, and trade in all departments is
very active. A lively sprinkle Of wool has
Just been marketed at prices satisfactory to
the producer. Stock of all kinds is in fine
order, As the prairies aud woodlands are still
ROBBED in green Of every conceivable shade.
The weather is all that heart could wish,
being remarkably cool and healthfu. Chills
and feyers have subsidized, and excellent health
prevails. AnSoceasional flock of migratory
waterfowl admonish us that rougher weather
is near at hand
Already the sportsman's gun is heard
among the partndges, which are always plen.
tiful and unusually so this year.
wish some genial Marylander would come
and enjoy a month of field aud forest sport
with me this winter. Come and rest from
the feverish political excitement that seems
to be Earring old Maryland this fall.
We rarely become demented here on ac
count of political campaigns, and, while
many of us are lusty Democrats, we never
saw any attempt to inumidate negroes from
voting; aud, while we think of it, we don't
believe one per cent. of the intimidation noise
raised by Northern disturbers of Southern
peace No Next time a colored Republican
is prevented in any way from the priceless
privilege of voting, please give us the place
where and time when. If we are not bending
at the knees with patriotism we are ehock full
of curiosity, and if we believe all the intimi
dation racket without due proof we are liable
to believe lie and be damned (excuse us).
Some call me a crank; my father and
mother mutually agreed to call me PETE.
