SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1874.
II A " T. r Il E:

We understand our fellow county man, ADAM
C. WooDs, Esq, on Monday last, declared
himself a candidate to represent the people OF
Howard County in the lower branch Of the next
General Assembly, and we therefore place his
name, in connection with those who have hereto.
fore been announced, at the head of our paper
to-day.
These gentlemen come before the people, not
with the label of party tackled to their sleeves,
nor with the recommendation or certificate of
party caucus, but Of their own free will and &C.
cord, and upon fair pledges Of what they propose
TO do, if elected, they ask the support Of their
fellow. citizens.
1t is VIGOROUSLY true that our State affairs
have been most wretchedly managed. Our State
has large debt hanging over her, on which she
is paying an interest of ten per cent per annum;
our statute books are disgraced with enactments
called laws, which, when they can be understood
at all and put in operation, are oppressive upon
the peoples the will OF the people in many re
spects has been disregarded; the laws of the
country trampled under foot, and moral as we'll
as political obligations Outraged-all through the
means Of party management and caucus screws.
The leaders OF the same party which have
brought about this deplorable state OF things, are
attempting 10 keep it up; many OF the men who
were in the legislature, and either assisted by
their votes or failed TO make serious opposition
to these proceedings, are again before the people
| for reelection, not only in this, but in other
counties, and it becomes every voter to examine
the matter well before voting. II is in opposi
ton to these men and their measures, the Wings,
and a respectable portion OF the democratic
party stand, and TO correct these abuses, and
enact wholesome laws, is what they promise. To
do this it is necessary to send men to the legisla
ture who are not only CAPABLE, but who are
WILLING TO work, and who will not quietly see
the peoples rights trampled under foot.
Such men can be found in the persons OF
ABEL LEONARD, THos. RAWLINGS, Jos. DAVIS,
and ADAM c. WOODS. They have not made pol.
itics a trade, and will not suffer themselves to
be dictated to by party leaders; and having no
party ends 10 subserve, would be free to attend
to their legitimate business-the interests and
wishes Of their constituents. They have all, we
believe, been residents Of the county for the last
twenty years, and consequently are familiar with
the wants and interests Of our citizens. We re.
commend them to the favorable consideration oil
the citizens Of the county.

will and authority Of the Nation.
2. An adequate Revenue with fair Protection to

bracing further restriction on the exercise Of the

5. An honest and economical administration OF
the General Government, leaving public officers
perfect freedom of thought and Of the right OF

proper interference in elections.
6. An amendment to the Constitution, limiting
the incumbent ofthe Presidential Office to SINGLE

resolutions declaring they would not vote for any
man for the legislature who would not pledge
himself to vote for the reelection OF Col. Benton

If so, when? And why has it not been made

who feel an interest in this matter, and we make
the inquiry for their benefit. Will the can.

Mr.. BENroN has written letter to the
editor of the Missourian, in which he speaks
in the biiterest terms Of those who were
instrumental In defeating the nomination
of Mr.. Van Buren,, He says:
"Neither Mr.. Polk nor Mr. Dallas have
had anything TO do with the intrigue which
has nullified the choice Of the people, and
the rights of the people, and the principles
of our Government, in the person of Mr..
Van Buren,; and neither Of them should be
prejudiced by it. Those who Matched that
intrigue have become its victims. They
who dug the pit for the innocent have fall
len into il and there let them lie for the pre-
sent = r. r..
"The Texas treaty, which consummated
this intrigue, was nothing but the final act
in long conspiracy, in which the sacrifice
of Mr.. Van Buren, had been previously
agreed upon; and the nomination of Mr..
Wright for Vice President, proves III for
his opinions and those of Mr.. Van Buren,,
on the Texas question, were identical, and
if fatal to one sould have been fatal to the
other. Besides, Mr.. Van Buren, is right
and whenever Texas is admitted, it will
have to be done in the way pointed out by
him."
Mr.. Van Buren, is right, says Mr.. Benton
and if ever Texas is admitted, it will have
to be done in the way pointed out by him
If Mr.. Van Buren, is right, the democracy
here are wrong, for they are in favor O.
immediate annexation, regardless of the
state of affairs between Texas and Mexico
and Mexico and the United States. They
are directly opposed to Van Buren, and Ben
ton. and some of the democratic presses il
this State are already accusing their abe
loved Benton" of being in league will

DfThe loco Tocos have commenced syste.

above water. Shortly after the news Of the
nominations OF Polk and Dallas reached here,
the word went in different directions from this
place, that several Of the most prominent Wings
in the town had renounced Clay and the Wing
party and were going for Polk and Dallas. II
was base fabrication, in order to make the nomi.
nations OF the Democratic Convention take
well-and we caution our friends in the country
against believing such reports, especially when
they come, either directly or indirectly, from
loco focos.
We have now full, unexceptonable, Wing
ticket in the field for the Legislature, and the
"lying battery has already been directed against
them Whenever a Wing hears report, he
should make it his business to trace il up, and
expose the originator, on the spot. Such a
course will show those who do not make politics
trade, the baseness and unprincipled characte r
of those who have been managing their political
affairs for several years past--and the means
they adopt 10 carry their points.
