"KISG WILLIAM COUNTY AT HoME"}
February l3, 1877.
By common consent, believe (allhough
against the secret designs Of little "quainl club"
OF politicians Hill and Tomln are 10 be our De-
inocralic candidates Tor the county Mr.. Hill is,
in ms opinion, The decided iaYorile Of he Sounder
portion Of the party. His eeneaiogy is decidedly
Democratic, reaching back 10 The ancient period
when Federalism main,ane doubtful struggle
in The county, and in which his family we're all
True and faithful friends TO The principles OF the
Republican Parry In his own character Mr.
Hill cmbodios the glorious ideal OF that bold and
chiraroas devotion 10 the rights OF he people,
which distinguishes The mar who has full ialh in
the ultimate destiny and progressive march OF
Freedom. lie has no adiniiy 10 The noia5s pamJy
politicians whoare found staggering along ne high
way OF parties, locking out with ieverish glance,
first 10 The right and then 10 the left, for some
guiding star 10 light their wa amidst the ever
surrounding conusion and darkness MIR. Hill,
although a plain farmer, with no other aid than
praclical good sense and an honest purpose, does
rot stand in ncea ol he taining OF clique 10
keep h,m up % The mark OF Tue high calling Of
Democracy. He does not use a political fu.le-
man, nor will he condescend to beg the favor OF
any leading Dc-mo-cidt 10 come 10 bis rescue
lie lfeads firmly On The Old Republican McAdT-
missed Road of Jefferson. He belongs 10 the he
ruic class CT Democrats, whose maxim ever was,
and ever will be, our country hrSi, cur country
last, and our country always. He was born in
King William, educated in The Rumtord Acate-
my, an institution which has trained up host Of
ardent and useful men, and an institution which
richly deserves The fostering hand OF nnr Lesisla-
lure; but, alas poor Yorck you stand like N
Oasis in the surrounding desert Of education, like
laany others OF your own noble class, and soi-
lary, like the shrine Of The Pilgrims your pure
Casa Ian waters can he dunk only By lew noble
yonhs, on whom Fortune has accidentally
smiled. Oh what a disgrace 10 The long line cl
Democratic Legislatures is The woeul dearIh OF
knowledge and virtue, which lies like dark pail
on the rising generation OF Virginia.! We wish
10 be clearly understood when we speak II Will
liam Hills political genealosy; lei rs not be mis-
app!ehcnded, for We know there are hypocTiies
abroad, who, under their mystical banner Of D:no-
crazy, WILL for their own special interest and con.
senicnce, pretend 10 find some fault with an alu-
sion 10 family pcdisrec-we mean, then, that
Mir Hill besides the evidences OF his own
political professions and acs, furnishes an
u,her guarantee in those strong and over
towering human lies and svmTalhies that spring
out Of birth and education, and on the side
Of Democracy. The people Of King William
will easily comprehend The writer unless indeed,
they have forgotten the olden times when Re-
publcanism vas known ana identified with IA
nifty names; when liie family clans oil Repnbli
canism aud federalism Stood ariayed under their
chiefs, and as strongly marked as Hyperion and
Sayf. Werepeat, then, that VIM. Hill is not an
elere Of Fedora lism but child Of Democracy, and
with his mothers milk he imbibed its genial and
yivtying influence. That We must all leel, in
his election, satisfied security that the good
old.lashioned Democracy oil 9s and 'g9 will have
once more come 10 visit u.s. in the plain, straight
forward opeiI.hearted and firm character of MIR.
Hill, we cannot doubt
But moreover and more especially do we think
the election OF Mr.. Hill necessary element in
The harmony and prosperity Of In. Democratic
party in his county. There is now something
wanted to make us realize the important truth,
that we are all brothers Of the same family, and
that The old banner-lhe STARS and slripes-is still
10 wave over u.s. and not IL be exchanged Tor The
fiery Cross Of some one political asprant 10 the
next Presidency. Let u.s. for The sake OF our
country, endearor 10 steer The noble ship oil De-
mocracv through The breakers which surround
her and mol leave her 10 toss about in seli-crcal-
ed pillows, with her back-stays loosenec, her
man-masi overheard, and her 'n;zzen reeling
down. Democracy is A glorious ship and me time
was when she was goriously rugged and manned
She is The great Argonaut ship OF The Republic,
"
al glory 10 This Western world. Lei US not razee
his noble shin or suffer Inc Babel men 10 con-
fuse her gallant crew
Redeem The time, for fast II iiis sray,
Use order, and rule the hour you cannot stag;
And thus 'ris plain 10 common sense,
With the election Of Hill yen must commence.
There IS one Thing cerain-some things have
recently been done in high stations which the
Democracy of King William will not sanction,
4 La.. full nj ~ a n
bearing upon the nny OF The Democratic party.
There i perfect certainty, 100, that the Demo-
Gratis Of King William wi not adop. the meta
physics OF some great Senators in relation 10 the
Mexican war.
The people Of King William are for their
country. The Democracy OF King William are
practical patriots; they live and move in the great
sea OF healthy human instinct they believe with
a firm faith in The justice and expediency OF The
Mexican war. This is the impusive law of pa
,rotism. But il has been attempted 10 arrest this
great law Of patriotism BY every sort OF charla-
ian process and by every species of disturbing
force which could be brought 10 bear on the pub
lie mind and we say shame on the men in high
places who have thus sought 10 cripple the Go
vernment, and sought it, too, under false and
ieigncd issues, unlike American Statement
This law OF patriotism, the priceless jewel Of an
American citizen, The soul OF our republic, its
spiritual polarity which alone can keep il NOV
ing within its great orbit, and preserve it as The
centre Of attraction 10 all people, has been weak
cned, ihwarted, confounded and rudely thrown
from lis balance by metaphysical Trades, in
grandioquent, panommic speeches in Con-
gress. We firmly believe these men are doing
their own business and no, the business of their
country; il is the field OF their own ambition and
mol The field otpublic policy they are Jealous in;
il is moi The prudence of patriotism, it is the eau
lien and cunning Of soIl asgrandjzement. In
his they arc pro Il Of expedienis 10 cripple the
Government, lest the war should come 10 a go-
rious end, and is glory rest on others than them
selves. 10 such iathless politicians the time Of
reliibuiion will come, must come. Il followed
The same acts in The last war. Il will stick like
ihe piseting shirt of Nessus tn them ever after
wards We say shame on Democrats; we did
not expect It. But We have no idols, even South
of Mason e. Dixon's line. II we ever had, we
are cured Of our itolaIy.
Your friend, BOZZY.
