COL. REID'S ADDRESS.
We commend the Address of Col. Reid in our
columns to-day, to the attention and perusa of every
citizen of the State. 1t is plain clear, dign6ed,
and able exposition of his views and opinions on
public affairs, and such, stands in proud contrast
with Gov. Manly's violent, illiberal, and abusive
" Sodom Speech. Col. Reid conceals none of his
opinions, but like honest man, as he is he holds
1t to be his duty, in addressing the people, put
them in full possession Of his views. He would
rather be defeated than his election BY decep-
ton, falsehood, and demagogueism. Calm and un-
moved under the abuse poured upon him by unscru-
pulous party hacks, and conscious of his own upright
ness of action and purity of motive, he appeals to
the tribunal OF the people and is content to abide
the judgment that tribunal may pronounce.
On the Slavery question, Col. Reid takes firm and
decided ground. Always Union man, he holds that
'''S S''S'S oCuouuS StdnO Oy tne South
in defence of her rights y and he believes that this
is the best. if not the only means by which the South
can be shielded and the Union preserved. There is
nothing Of the SubmissioniA in him. In common with
the Southern people he plants himself on the Missouri
line, and is willing to take that basis for settling
this dangerous and disturbing question.
Col. Reid also exposes in few words, the wick
ed faisehood raised against him by partizan newspa-
pers, that he had voted for the Wilmot Proviso.
On the subject Of Internal Improvements and the
Central Rail Road, he occupies position which must
command the respect of his opponents, and the un-
qualified approval Of the entire Democratic party.
He audes to the fact that he was one of the earli-
est friends Of Common Schools, and he exposes the
contemplate demagogueism of Gov. Manly in the
last campaign. in assailing him tn The Vest, for vot-
Ing for the federal population principle, while he was
silent on this subject in the East. This was trick
altogether worthy Of the author of the Sodom -
Speech.
COL Reid goes at length into the subject of Equal
Suffrage. He gives an accurate history of the man
ner in which that question brought to the notice
OF the people two years snce and repels by an irre
sstabe array Of facts, tie miserable charge of Gov.
Manly that this issue manufactured Tor use here

Will Gov. Manly and his partizans now have the |
candor to come forward and do justice to Col. Reid
and the Democracy this subject!
Let it be borne in mind-as declared by Col. Reid |
on this occasion, and repeatedly stated heretofore
by him, as well as in this pape.-that Equal Suffrage
has no connection whaieuer with the bas, of Represen
ta'on either 9fthe Commons The Senate COL Reid's
proposition is to extend the right of suffrage, so as
TO permit every man who now votes in the Commons
to vote in the Senate ALSO and he does not PROPOSE
as frequently charged for effect in the Whig journals,
10 disturb the basis of Representation. We call at
ention to this, to leave Wing pazans no excuse for
heir unfounded charges in this regard and because,
Is we have occasion to know, some Democrats be-
zane involved in an error this subject two years
since. We respectfully appeal to these Democratic
friends to look into this matter again. to review their
opinions in the premises, and to modify their views
IN this subject-as we have doubt they will upon
more mature consideration and reflection. |.
And let It also be borne in mind, that COL Reid is
he open and active advocate of Equal Suffrage, while
ov Manly. though he kindly agrees that the people
nay have if they desire it, is nevertheless opposed
o 1t at heart.
We again commend this admirable Address of our
candidate to the people generally. We hope our
subscribers will read it, and then hand it round to their
'eighbors. All the Democrats ask-aIl Col. Reid
sks is, that the honest people will read examine
consider, and Judge for themselves. k
