JERUSALEM, Va, Nov. 6, 1874.
1--WE hasten 10 give YOU brie account OF our
election and lis results, which We consider glo-
rious Tor the Democracy of old Southampton, es-
peciallv when We take into consideration the tact.
that the Fcderalsls in 1910 carried il by malo-
rity, which, however, they did by iilching The
garb and principles OF the Republicans for their
odiouS political purposes. But since they have
lhrown OF their disguise, and made the Issues
those which have ever divided the Federal ami
the Republican parties behold the result !-Rout-
cd, horse, foot, and Gragoon-a used up party--a
Bankrupt party-and ere long We hope they will
become an ,nrisibt party, which shall only he
known through the records OF their political
trlckery and deception.
Look al the arrogance OF thee same Wings
all Hc dcccneu, all the coneiacncy pqrtn They
called upon the people of Southampton 10 give
their votes for measure, which, but four short
years since, these very same leaders this very
same party, holly denounced as an unconStilu-
tional, and Federal measure, United States
Bank. Now, with this very Tarty, ii is mar
vellous proper Republican measure and ol>ooih,
this same Wing Party is the patent Republican
Party, and all who oppose il IRE Federal Loco
Focos.-Bah oh consistency, thou art a
jewel
These same leaders called upon the people 10
sustain the present, unjust, unequal, oppressive,
and therefore unconstitutional Tarii; in a
word TO violate with Mr.. Clay his solemn com
promise, which may be said, literally, 10 he his
own decd and obligation, which the same Henry
CLAY in his hanover speech oil loi0, ana ON
various other occasions declared ought not 10 be
violated, and demanded that the spirit Of The COM
promise I've preserved. This same party, who
now 90 for violation of all The pledges given
by themselves, and oher leaders OF lSi0 I'M
hlushnsly ask for popular support. This same
party, who, from this cruel Tariff, wish 10 build
IN a splendid Government and mighty system
Of general Internal improvement, the indirect
assumption Of the Stale debts, hy the distribution
of the proceeds of the public domain, demanded
for their candidate popular favor.
This same party, whorcject TIE Annexation oil
Tcxas-who sustain the violation OF solemn
Treaty. made 10 that people in ls03-who go
against the vital interests OF the South-who
seek The emoluneDt of the manufacturers OF the
North-whu seek 10 restrict our foreign trade
thu. giving those manufacturers no, only the pre-
ference in selling, hut in bWmng; whose policy
tends necessarily To reduce the price OF actual
lahor-And lastly, this party who seriously seekto
destroy the third branch OF our Government 10y The
abolition of the Veto power have demanded sup
port THE hands Of the yeomanry OF Southampton
county bnt they found il not. Though every
cxertion was made, though every inch OF ground
was contested by the Wings. they were defeated
hy the eorions majority OF IS votes. The De
rlocrals did no, poll their entire strength. 1t is
confidently believed, had they done 50, the maln-
ri,y would have reached nearly 100. But II is
glory enough for one day.
''Coud you Msssrs. Editors, have witnessed
the scenes of Monday last, al our court house
