ANNOUNCEMFI'fTS.
FOR COXSBESSSAS.
To the People of the Second Congressional
District:
This announces to you that I am a can
didate for Congress. I shall go direct to
the people of this District in support of the
moral and political principles for which I
have heretofore actively and openly stood
in Georgia. As they have been endorsed
by the masses of this State and are being
enacted luto law by the lawmaking powers
of Georgia, so I believe they should be
fearlessly supported and advocated until
they are endorsed by the entire country
and written upon the Statutes of the Na
tion. Substantially the same evils which
have afflicted our State, no less and even
more afflict the Nation. At seasonable
times I shall with vinor and without com
promise go to the People, upon these Prin
ciples for endorsement and support.
