old veteran iu the Democratic cause, W. Z.
Woodruff, ESQ.,, who has ten scars upon his face,

charge Woodruff with being in alliance with tho

not surprised at such assertions in the Banner

them in tho U. 5. Senate; and they are the "pi.
rates." the "traitors," and tho "disorganizers,' u
who supported and elected him, il, as the Banner
boldly afirms the friends Of Ashley to bc, his
supporters are ''Pirotes" etc. ...
That Legislature was most radically domocra.
tic, omposcd Of men who were elected during the
hard.fousht cnmpag gn of ~, when party lines
were by the wings themselves most strictly drawn,
owing to their full conviction that Clay would be
elected. and their hope that Gibson and Walker
would be also. At no tmo, during the political
history Of this State, have the democrats been
more abort in detecting an enemy, more uncom.
promsinsly firm in their opposition to wings and
whig measures. than in the contest Of 1874; at any
other time than then would tho Legislature of the
State have been more apt to have sent a man to
the U. S. Senate who was not firm, unhnching,
and determined democrat. They looked around
for such man, in their hour of triumph, when
the wings had been completely discounted, they
looked around for a man who would do honor to
the State, as well as 10 the great political victory
jus, achieved, and reflect credit upon their choice
as democratic body. They found such a man,
they elected him. and from lhs. hour TO this, Col
Ashley has done more TO shed luslro upon this
State, has worked harder for her advantage, than
any other man within its boundary in the same
space Of timo. All his acts since then have been
wholly democrutic; oil his exerIions have rendered
entire satisfaction to his party. and in nothing
whatever. we say it boldly and proudly too,
has ho displayed the !eas! change. or ha. occurred
