with a handsome majority
This wifi be 2 fiaing tribute, both
to the gentleman himself and 10 the
cause ami principles Of which he is
a representative. The platform on
which ne stands IS sound aud ire
fragable. The liberties for which
he contends are those which are es-
s5ntial to Republican government.
Aud the record he hes made is with
out Flemish and without spot.
During his career ia Congress the
Delegate has been kept extremely
busy in wardiag of The evils which
Were dosiyned9gains this Territory.

And this IS al that can be alleged
against him blythe '.Liberai'' plot
ters who laid those schemes in
this city aud Matched them
out il Washington. Indeed,
after searching in vain for one
charge that could be made to stick,
they have come 70 the conclusion
that his caaracter and course are
without = flaw an5 without a stain,
and 50 they ara forced TO the artiflce
OF REPRESENTING bis record by a clean,
white ard unblemished sheet Of
PAPER. That means his record is
without a blot; his foes can find no
fsultin him. This is praise louder
than words, and eujoEy more elo-
quent than song.

for the material leleft OF Utah or
any part thereof during the terms
