nan, of u,,n,r,yisn" The Wings must have most con-
oi,,n OF the intelligence OF the people, IN lhese
rsoeaed attempts to impose upon Them by their humoose
The Democrats are invited "car"-out no inSuoh 10
extended TO them take part in the discussion ana 'nefey 20
elci, the whoie truth. The Wing leaders, knowing Tue
of their cause have no idea of losing the chance
of foresallng public sentiment by one-saeo uhans"e'

per thus 10 explain tho people OF virginia, why Mf.
Summers was allowed occupy the field alone and why
none of the Spartan Band met nm ana sca'efe" e
"Giant's" plausible words 10 the winds.
This is strick far surprising of which the wing
canddats for Lieutenant Governor held up the Democrats as
guilty. That most unfortunate attack OF Mr. "asi io'
there was ever party in the country that drew precaTouS
existence from humbuSs and tricks It the modern "s
party In 1910 they protested to be good Republicans a
opposed to Bank BY this deception they SUCCEEDED ano
when Mr. Tyler their candidate refused to pefjure NM
SELF at tho bidding OF party leaders, and when In conformity
with his own web known opinions and The doctrines a"'a

on were showered upon his head by his former law"

presidential dispensaon 10 the Union These are
facts and the people of Virginia Disguised with the con-
,inued tricks of the Wing party. The late election shows
how the IJnon humbug was Kissed from the stage The
election on the 9Th of December will shver into fragments
The no.nar,y cks" of George w. Summers and company
One of the most glarng tricks lately esorted TO- Is
in report of Mr. Summers speech in Montgomery county
youched by the Wing as 'reabe" From that report We
make the following extract
Twas no wonder then that he (Summers frsnian oy
birth and and from the largest slave county wGst
there would be safety in native OF Northern otae-o"n
ing no slaves from the smallest slave owning county ~
The Slate He had voted while young man, in lo3 loaZ
when the public mind was named upon the SUBJECT on &C
count of the Southampton instruction for bill SUBMITTING
10 the people whether they would adopt system OF erado
emancipation; but further than this nc always aVo"eo TIC
Legislature had no power to CO.
Now here is direct and positive assertion OF Mr. sum-
mers that his opponent Col Johnson Gowns no slaves we
have already shown by the record that Col Johnson has Tor
years owned slaves and that this very year. nc Is assessed
upon nearly many slaves as his competitor Can the peo
pie OF Virginia support for the first office IN Inc common
wealth. man like George w. Summers, VINO mus
reckessy makes unounded assertions and is thus grossly
ungcncrous towards his opponent who has tor nifty years
beahed the pure air of Virginia and has never failed 10 de-
'nonstrae his sincere devotion the interests and honor Of
our State7 Were Virginia wing State she could not vote
for Mr. Summers account OF his past opinions ana his
present ungencrous bearngt nonstrous and arrogant
insult her unerried Democracy 10 usH them TO iorcgo
all their glorious and triumphant principles and vote for as
erran, Federast as ever the light in Virginia
But according to the Montgomery historian OF Mr. Sum-
mers the latter attempted paiae and defend HE abolition
course in 1892 His defence is Of the msiest character
c now says that he acted under the then eXcltcment-s
speech avowed that he was but carrying out the nS cF
ed object Of his heart As full refutaon "t his present ~
tile attempt smooth over his monstrous doctrines al mat
time we ask attention the able commentaries OF inc ohlon
published yesterday upon the past course OF Mr. D. lhesc
tracts from Mr. Summers speech we have aeao! aa DE-
fore our readers but the public cannot be made TOO ia
with their true character If i, be small offence, before
Virginia audience justify the right OF scTve nsufTscon
10 contend for the emancipation of slaves without coeh
,ino the masters and TO invoke the power OF Congress 70
stretch their rn grasp into State and rid us oi our
aves-f this small offence not only I" De justly OK
cused but to be rewarded with The frs! oice IN tue s Vi
he people, utterly mistake the heightened fhness ana
Intelligence Of me people OF Virginia We wa ho' h''''
this noble old State by believing for moment that che has
he smallest idea OF casting he. vote Tor George W. sum
We also ask the attention OF the public 10 the Unions li
yu!icaon from the stupid charge against COL Johnson III
connection win the Oregon Bill To defend Summers for
hi, mast course and tie same time dennunco johnson
for his action on the Oregon Bill shows desperation ana
blind craftsmanship On the part the Wing leaders, which
will receive the most crushing rcbuke the polls IN Decein-
Der next.
P. S. The above comments were written on Thursday,
We have since had the satisfaction OF hcan" the Giant
at the African church. and freely say that The De-
mocracy all affected Icy his colossal assaults os e
Wing press ruid them in advance and that still untctd'
they ae more determined vote against Summer
and for Col Johnson We heard eloquent speechts
from Mr. Summers in the Convention hut IN his haransue
on Thursday night heard nothing erca, eloquent lie
speaks smoothly and gracefully but he did not utter single
idea advance plausible reason why The people
should vote FOR the Charlottesville ticket.
When we entered the Church, Mr. Summers was attempt.
ing 70 shew that u S. Bank Protective Iar, &C.. were
Republican measures His arguments were drawn from the
house of the famous "Fa Proposition" OF lSi4 which
owes lis paternity to A. f. H. Stuart Chis Virginia Sc
crc,ary the Interior 10 have thrust his Fingers INTO
the election OF Governor in Virginia. While at Saun'on
we hea that Mr. had in the of the Amnls-
ration, urged Mr. Summers for Governor We also
herd that Mr. Stuart had threatened the Democracy with
some terrible development should COL Johnson be nolna-
tod Tha, terrible explosion is doubtless the mares ne
Of COL Johnsons old circular Of lS26which first pa
raded BY the Wing paper at Stanton, Mr. Suarss own
town. Mr. Stuart has predicted that Summers election was
"more than certan"-and have Mr.. Summers draw
ing largely upon Mr. Suars Fair Proposition which The
people of Virginia often blown skyhigh There is
remarkable community of sensation and movement be-
tween the Secretary the Interior and the would BIO Wing
candidate for Govenorbut the peopo of Virginia will ne.
yer be humbugged by such coaition9
