KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE

and denounced that war and the Administration of
James Madison. He does not deny this, but admit
ted, as we learn, that he had been call
ed on to stand draft, but told the officer he would
not attend. He says he was but fourteen years of .
age when the war begun. This is his excuse He
!" pleads infancy
Keep it before the people, that Charles Manly op-
posed and denounced the late war with Mexico; that
his partizans in the Legislature were unwilling 10
give our brave volunteers little money purschase
blankets and other comforts, until they could couple
with the gift declaration that the war was unjust
and unconstitutional; that he charged, in his first !
campaign, that the Democrats about to acquire
territory which worhless, and from which snegro
senators" would be sent to Washington to sit downby
Mangum and Badger; and that he now justifes and
approves Gen. Taylors '' line Of policy by which
New Mexico has been erected into State, with on
ly few thousand whites and some fifty thousand
Indians, Mulattoes, and mixed bloods. Gen. Taylor
lends his countenance the election OF the negro
Senator's; and Gen. Taylor, says Mr.. Manly, is al
ways right.
Keep it before the people, that Charles Manly was
Nullifer in 1892; that he ready to resist the
Tariff act of 1928; but that now having returned to
his first love as Federalist he is in favor of high
| The tax is now too heavy on Rail Road iron; but
Mr.. Manly would no doubt increase it, for the bene-
fit of his dear Federal allies in Pennsylvania.
Keep it before the people, that Charles Manly ap-
pealed to the fears and pockets of the people, two
years since. by telling them of the horrors of
which he desired to make them believe unjust; and
by predicting that the war would cost seventy fire
dollars, in direct taxes to each in the State!
There's prophet for you! Has any citizen paid his
seventy-fve dollars yet!
Keep it before the people, that Charles Manly op-
posed and denounced Equal Suffrage two years
since that he and his partizans pronounced it
proposition to put power in the hands of poor to
legslate the rich out of their propery that he called
it scheme designed and calculated to level society,"
to destroy the rights of the land holders and af
feet fatally the repose, welfare, and happiness of the
State; but that now, finding Equal Suffrage popular,
and being desirous above all things of keeping his
place as Governor two years longer, HE DENIES
THAT HE EVER OPPOSED 1T, and pretends
to take strong grounds in its favor!
! Keep it before the people, that Charles Manly and
his partizans, two years since, denounced Equal
Suffrage blow struck at the black basis Of rep
resentaton in the Commons, though they we'll knew
there was no connection whatever between the two
propostions that he endeavored to alarm the people
in this way, and declared his opposition to pro-
positions; and that now-being fully aware of the
!" traricidal stre" which such proposition is CAL
cuated to produce but determined his elec
ton, if possible, by all means-he has gone West,
where there are but few negroes, and taken ground
in the most unequivocal manner, IN FAVOR OF ABo1-
IsHING THIS BLACK BASIS OUR REPRESENTATION.
The very measure he opposed and deprecated two
years since, and which he falsely charged to be
part of Equal Suffrage, HE NOW COMES OUT
FOR AND ADVOCATES, hoping thereby to re-
teve his fallen fortunes in the Wes counties, and
thus demagogue himself second time into the office
of Governor! What say the people of the East to
this :! How will such conduct be regarded by the
high-minded and honest people of the West! Are
they willing entust their interests to the keeping
of this demagogue, who has repeatedly deceived
them heretofore, and who only pretends to be with
them now for the purpose of catching their votes!
Will they consent, at Charles Manly's request, to
take snap judgment their fellow-cizens of the
middle and East!
| Keep it before the people, that Charles Manly
never held Office at the hands of the people in his
life until he elected Governor by the force of
party drill that he disastrously beaten in the
County of his residence for the State Senate though
he appealed most humby to the people TO elect him
that he has been literally shinghd with Offices,
for years, by Banks corporations, and the like and
that he has depended mainly for living the pro-
ceeds of those Offices that he received smaller votes,
two years since, in his native county, Chatham and
his adopted county, Wake, than had ever been given
to any other Whig nominee; that he is inseparably
associated and banded with the Central Whig Clique,
who have ruled the State and divided the Offices
among themselves for years that his nomination for
a second term was forced out of the Whig Conven-
tion by party appliances and party drill, and not
unanimously made that deeper dissatisfaction exists
with his administration of State affairs, than
listed before against any Governor; that the Ruther-
fordton Banner, leading Wing paper has denounced
him politician not to be safely trusted-as
"tool of " miserable faction'' in the Whig ranks
as having triAed with and trampled under foot the
rights and interests Of large portion of the West;
and that the paper, backed it declares it is
by the people of its section, refuses to support him,
and goes for DaVID S. REID, Tie Peoples Can
didate.
Keep it before the people, that Charles Manly said,
in the late Whig Convention in this place, that if
there had been found among the people of Old Sodom
in the day of their visitation seven such men as the
Wings of the Centre, verify that old LOCOFOCO
TOWN would not have been destroyed ''-thus pro-
claiming his righteousness as one of the Wings
of the Centre-thus trifing with the words of Holy
Writ-thus insulting, grossly and inexcusably, the
entire Democratic party of the State!
