THE ORANGE DISTRICT.

a We observe that the HilIsborough Recorder and
the Milton Chronice-Consolidato papers, and both
edited by FiImore's Postmasters--are exerting all
their influence to defeat Mr. Venable the State Rights
Union candidate for Congress in the Orange District.
We learn, con6dentially, from Wing, of Caswell,
that Mr.. Evans has been busy engaged for some
time past in writing letters to influential Wings
throughout the District and that the game is to make
grand and united rally against MIR. Venabe on the
day of election. Our Caswell Wing friend, who
disapproves in strong of this movement informs
US that he intends to support Mr.. Venabe and he
requests US to raise voice and the of
the District to the importance of turning and
tanning Mr.. Venable the day of election. -sr "a
We have also received letter from of the
soundest and best Democrats in Orange, who says:
. The Wings in this District running the Hon.
Calvin Graves. They say he has consented to serve
II elected. believe they intend to make strong
effort for him throughout the District the day of
election. The Wings have worn out their name by
their bad conduct, and suppose are about to take
the name of Union men. 1t is another of their old
tricks to deceive the people. n 1t is impor-
ant that the people should be informed of this
ment, and urged to go to the election. Many Wings
talk of voting for Venable.''
Mr.. Graves may serve, if elected; but we have no
idea that he is party to this movement, which is
intended to put down as pure patriot and faithful
public servant every represented any District
the Congress of the United States.
we call upon the Democrats and upon the South
ern Rights Union men Of Granville, Person, Orange.
Aamance, Chatham, and Caswell take care their
interests and the interests of their posterty, by
rousing themselves to their duty and by sustaining
Mr.. Venable at the polls. Suffer him to be struck
down, and you will talk in vain hereafter about your
rights. You have been told, feow-citizens that he
is Dlsunionist. The charge is not true. He is as
much devoted to the Union as any man among you
but he is for the Constitution at the time, and
for your vital interests and sacred rights as involved
in the institution of Slavery; and these he aOiH
desert, long his heart beats or the blood courses
has ceins. WILL YOU DESERT HIM? He acquiesces
in the socailed Compromise, and does not seek but
avoids agitation the Slavery question. If he has
discussed this question recently, he has done it in
self-defence-he has done it because the Consolda-
ton leaders raised this humbug cry of Union, and
required him endorse and approve this Compromise
or incur the appellation of traitor and Dsunonist
w hat else-what less could he do but speak. when
thus arragned and thus denounced? His only crime
is his extreme devotion to the Constitution to South
ern rights, and to your interest and honor. Is this
crime! The Milton Chronicle and Hillsborough Re-
corder would have you to believe it but their coun-
sells and their opinions you will reject, sure,
with indignation at the polls. Rally, then, for your
faithful Representative, and give him such majority
as will encourage him in his efforts serve you and
at the same time put to rest the unjust allegation that
hearty and determined support of State Rights is
inconsistent with true devotion to the Union of The
States.
