1t is well known to you. that ever since the
little Democratic caucus met in Lynchburg, and
nominated Thos. H. Daniel a candidate for
the Board of Public Works, that the leaders oil
the Democratic party have beer trembling Tor
fear that the nomination of that gentleman would
not prove acceptable to the most of the people,
from the fact that they, in making the nonina>
ton of such man as Thomas H. Daniel, knew
we'll that they had done so without regard to
uu affiliations. without regard to the interest that
gentleman felt in the internal improvements OF
the State, and actuated alone by desire to res
ward partizan demagogue whose highest amb-
ton seemed to be while he was In the Leglsa-
ture to protect the fish, oysters aud crabs OF the
section in which he resided; but just soon as
the people of North Western Virginia aud
elsewhere made call upon Col. 7 hos j. Boyd
the able and worthy member from Wythe
county, to become IL candidate, and that gentle
man announced himself candidate, the
democratic press have leveed all their abuse at
him and bitterly assailed him, showing thereby
conclusivey, that it is party triumph tina t
they alone desire without any regard whatever
to the interest Of the State and the great cause
of internal improvement upon the completion
and sustaining of which depends upon the future
interest of Virginia.
1t is evident to every one that COL Boyd's
prospect of an election was indeed good one;
the Democracy felt it, and knew it WE'LL and
they conceived the idea of bringing out some
good Wing, who might receive enough Wing
votes to defeat Col. Boyd. Col. Bondurant, OF
Buckingham, is now proposed, almost ON the
verge Of tho election, without any prospect
whatever, of receiving even one fourth OF the
Wing vote; a maneuvre which it is evident has
been made to defeat Col. Boyd, because they
knew that gentleman would defeat Thomas H..
Daniel. Under ordinary circumstances it would
afford the Wing party of the district great graft
feation to vote for Col. Bondurant but why shall
the Wing party vote for Bondurant, and thereby
defeat Boyd? Let every Wing go to the polls
and vote for Boyd; vote for an original supporter
of the Internal improvement interests OF the
State. A man who has stood first and foremost
in the Legislature and battled manfully for those
great interests which tend to develope the re-
sources of the old commonwealth. man who
has had the independence to shake off party OBJ
| legations. when that party erred from the path
| that he conceived TO be right This trap, in
which they would entange you, by calling upon
| you to vote for COL Bondurant spnrn 1t from
you, regard it not. Col. Boyd's election is sure by
an oyerwhe Inning majority, if you will but do your
| dutv. To the Polls, To the Polls. To the Polls,
then, Wings and Democrats, all who love the
prosperity of Virginia all who would repudiate
| this effort to elect man, whose opinions may
change to their former hostility to all the inter
nal improvements of the State, and give death
blow, aye! stab of ruin to those mighty
schemes to which we all look with pride and
! peasure which, when completed, is to speak
better things for the old commonwealth we all so
| much love.
Improvement men, vote for Boyd, if you love
to see those Improvements around US sustained.
If you desire their destruction and love the
mad spirit of party and its Gods better than you
love the interests of the State and those improve
ments, then go the polls and vote for the .polit-
cal machine Democrat from Prince George
Matched. he was into existence, by the breath
of sold Timothy
