Ely Williams and Cant. Seals

Profess to be Democrats and nBonders Are democrats
tor political offices usually voted tor wgs Do democrats
usually vote Tor wings for political offices Sensible men will
say No! Why Williams and Seals for the whig State
ticket who all wings, and ali bondpayng wings at that
They will tell you that they opposed to the payment OF
bonds All II why do you for bondpayers Let us
illustrate this matter Ely Williams say by way of il
lustraon and in no disrespectfu senses methodist and
IN connection with his nebor seeks for man to supply the
neghborhood pulpit for years Would he as consistent
methodist vote for close communion Baptist preacher to fill
the vacant pulpit when genuine methodist preacher who
was endorsed by his church orthodox was an applicant for
the vacant pulpit Apply this reader to Ely Williams He
votes for Rogers and the of the wing ticket and claims to
be democratic This the methodist selecting the baptist to
ill the methodist pulpit.
say Captain Seals is closecommunion baptist and he is
called to vote for preacher fill baptist pulpit and he votes
for methodist preacher thoroughly orthodox
munion baptist preacher Would he be consistent with his
professions Capt Seals will the wing ticket-ths is the
protesting baptist voting for the methodist fill the baptist pull
pit
These protesting democrats have queer way of exhibiting
their love for democratic and measures They wont do
anything but hollow hurrah for democracy but the wing
ticket This is terrible humbug, Ely is and you know it.
1t was long time Ely before you had made up your mind
what laboro whom you would VOTE and when pushed for
an answer you had crowded up spirit enough to say You
would vote for Union man" Such srewdness too much
for man, and if Ely only discover way avoid be-
special politician in Lowndes The wings have been bate
ing Seals and Williams and the wings with their usual adroit-
have made their threats that unless they pede ed them
selves vote for Rogers they would for them Now
elect Col Cobb and Gen. Wade we entertain no doubt but
that the wings would trade Seals and Williams owhat use
have they for Williams and Seals both democrats both hang
ing the wing party Ike pair Of leeches Why the old
wings the Coons To get good wings
into the Legislature from LoYnde they will make an effort
struggles desperate fight; and any men so YER
dant Seals and Williams excepted presume that the
hangers whggeryhe useless weight now the
game is played out will cucumber them when they
count out the tricks Why, with Seals and Williams as
much capital to trade the election Of Cobb and Wade
absolutely impossible, and you place success within the circle
OF possibilities, and you wake up wigdom the
every energy and the employment of every legitimate re-
scourse.
Here is something genuine wggery, and we commend it
to the reader.
The argus of November 18th says
owe must now advise the wings to preserve
firmly their organization, to stand steadfastly to
their and their principles to strike only achen
occasion shall ofer TO secure aScendency to those
principles, and to act as circumstances may cdUor
justify. We are, as party, under obligations to
no PERSON or to any other political organiza-
ton
On the end of December the argus says:
owe see nothing ourselves to be gained for the
wings as a party, in affiliating with any wing or
faction of the democratic party to effect any pur-
pose, for our experience at least teaches us that
they will at forsGkePrincplesJo for spols,
