The Election in this County
Summary
Results of the Congressional Election in Washington County are reported by district. The candidates were: Thomas, Scattering and Fiery/Firey. It is stated that there was "no opposition to Gov. Thomas" and that the Secessionists were "afraid to show their hand" and that accounted for a lower turnout than would be expected. The paper, however, urges Union supporters "not for a single moment [to] relax their vigilance."
