FEDERAL TRICKS

Ou Hdue. Alarmed al Inc Strength and popular.
iiy Of oar ticket, they are attempting 10 produce
a sehsm IN our ranks. But they viii be fooled
in their efforts. We shall be united as one man.
Their very attempts to SOW dissentious among Us
Will have the happiest effect II will convince us
Of the necessity Of unauImily-il will show US
where the danger lies, and point to the means Of
avoiding it. One Of the tricks of the enemy is
10 excite the preludces Of the democrats against
one Of our candidates on account Of his State
Rights principles. The last Argus has an ink.
ing tins way-hear the cunning fed
"Troublo is brewing among them, uhe demo.
cfats) and some of the cid and honest democrats
are wondering Why il is that ytj.hot nuihfer
one who, until few months past has violently
opposed The party and sad many bitter things
against jackson and Van Buren,, should be taken
into high favor to the neglect Of some OF the cd
veterans who have borne the heat and burden
Of the strife IN former days"
The man here evidently draws on his imagn.
alton for facts. lie states rather what no hopes
than whit he believes to be true. The shaft is
aimed at DR. Lipscomb, but 1t IS poIntIess, and
Intellectual. The democrats do not wonder that
the Doctor has been nominated, for they nom
mated hun themselves aud they will support him
with perfect unOnimy. In fact, those very "od
veterans Of whom the Argus speaks, are the
warmest supporters of the Doctor. Ii vas by
their solicitations chiefly that no was induced to
become a candidate so this trick will be no go.
| We may say more IN reference to this matter
hereafter.
Another trick Of the feds IS to egg on Mr.
Leake TO become n candidate in order TO divide
Mr. H. ms n prosecuted man as one who, in
stead Of being remembered and rewarded as his
services to the party deserve, has been given the
go.by, and kicked out the party sans ccrsmo
ME" Ia ihs, too, we predict they VIII be disap
pointed. Nj Lcake is not the man TO be taken
in by such devices. lie can never be made
tool to subseve the purposes Of the federal par
~ he knows them too well, and he will scorn all !
tlauery and coaxlng from such n source, His .
leading maxim, we know. is "every thing for
the party, nothing for men !" and when be finds,
us he soon must, that the men who 10 been
non mated IN our paper, Is tho only democratic
ticket that can succeed, he will withdraw his
name, aud give il his hearty support Such we
are induced 10 believe, Will be his course. His
best hlends expect il of him.
One word more, as 10 tho tricks Of the wings
They speak of the bell-weuthcrs, managers and
ntriguers Of tho democrats Nothing of the
KIND Is known 10 our party. We have no caucus.
ing no secret management among us. Whatever
We do is done open and above board We trust
10 the power OF truth and the correctness of our
principles alone for success. We leave il TO the
wings 10 caucus und hold secret conclayes.--
Their deeds being evil, it is no wonder that they
should prefer darkness to light.
The Columbus Democrat still contends that
Virginia has gone for the ocoiocos The fellow
is surely crdsF Southern San,
To be sure Every body who contends for
tho truth, is crazy in the estimation Of the Sun.
The Democrats, or Locolocos, if you choose, in
Virginia, have elected 10 out Of the 2 membels
Of congress. They have certainly elected more
members Of the Legislature than either the wings
or conservatives, and we believe more than both |

This looks very Ike that the State has gone for
the oeoiocos. The Richmond Enquirer of the

They are destined to moro signal defeat in

returns for the Legislature, says:
