Vote for him, because of his early and able advocacy of the rights and interests of the slave holding States.

There are other candidates, but the issue had been made up before they announced themselves. You may prefer some one of them, but to vote for either is to evade a choice between Lyons and Macfarland. Which of these two will you choose? That is practically the only question you have to determine now. The recent course of Mr. Macfarland in the Cill do it again.
