KEEPS ALWAYS ON HAND A Fixe Assortmext of Plows -ALSO— By reference to tiro proceedings of tiro convention of tiro mill district, which assembled in Millcdgcvillc on tiro 4th mat., it will ho seen that Hon. Jus. H. Blouut was nominated unanimously on tiro flint ballot. This is an honor to tho able states manship and pure patriotism of that gentleman of which ho may well he proud. No Congressman in Hie Slate—none in tiro Union, has Imd S3 noil an endorsement put upon his career through tho last two sessions of Congress, in which were enacted the moat trying parts within the history of tho Republic. ■ Xu those dark, and uncertain days, when it seemed that nono savo a prophet could foresee the result of a single net, when the glory of Hill and Ste phens and Lamar passed under a clond, tho star of Blount rode high in tho ascendsipt. Mr. Blount will entor tho forty-sixth Congress with tho advantage of six years’ train-' ing in battling with giants, and his intluenco and power for good, will bo greater than ever. Ho will bo able to speak as ono having authority, and his advice will ho sought for by mein in high places in matters concerning his section; wheroas a tyro with novor so muoh nativo abil ity would liavo to spend all his time studying the Congressional machin ery, and consequently would bo al most, uttorly without influence. While Mr. Blount, therefore, must fool highly complimented by tho honor done him, tiro sixth district should congrothliito herself on having able, no experienced, so patriotic and s<> iuihicntia! a representative in Congress. Wo trust Mr. Blount’s friends will not yet consider their tusk ended. Every voter in tho district should consider it his bounden duty, us well iis his pleasure, opposition or no op position, to go to the polls in Novem ber ohd say .by his vote to t he man who 1ms served his country so nobly, Montgomery News.
