To the People of Onsloyv County.


ess and feelings of the people of the East Governor
MANLY has thought proper to single out Onslow
county as the special object of his attack. He de-
nounces her having Senator as GROSS INJUSTICE
In every place where he has spoken, he has brought
this forward He points to- and sneers at her eight
hundred voters and then compares this with the
more numerous constituency of the Western Senate
rial districts and denounces Col REID for being OPP
posed to any change in the basis of Representations
to remedy this GROSS INJUSTICE" After this
after his open and proved attack upon the Federal
basis in the Commons his equally avowed de-
sire to change the basis in the Senate so as to deprive
Onslow of her representation in that body we would
like to know how many of the eight hundred votes
to which he sneerngly alludes, will be cast for
him. Will there be one? Is there one man in Ons-
low county-Mhg or Democrats lost to self
respect-so insensible to the rights and interests
of his section and OF his county, to vote for Gov
MANLY? Surely not! Surely not ! Is there
one. man-Whig or Democrat-who will neg
lect to vote for Governor MANLY's opponent Mr.
REID, who has had the manliness an the Hest,
where Gov. MANLY expects to gain by this move
ment to avow himself unhesitatingly opposed to
any change whatever in the mode of apportioning
our representatives, and especially at this unc
ture" Voters of Onslow-Whgs and Democrats
the issue is now before you It is simply this MAN
LY and the ruin of the present basis Misrepresentation
the prostration of the East the triumph of Free
Soilism or REID and the Constituton-ther lights of
the people and of the South 1t is for you to choose
1t is for you say whether any of your votes will be
cast for man who makes your county, and your
Senator the text for his denunciations against the
East, as Gov. MANLY does There can be no doubt
about the matter, you cannot vote for Gov. MANLY.
Then rally as men-as Onslow men-as Eastern men
as North Carolnians, and poll every vote for DA-
v1D S. RE1D-the peoples candidate friend of
equal rights and of the Constitution; and the sea-
DIV and unwavering defender of Southern interests
and of Southern honor and teach Gov. MANLY the
Importance of your eight hundred votes in driving
him from position which he is not worthy to occu-
py
