Charlton County, May Oath

CHARIToS County, May Oath.
FRIEND GREEN-The news has reached
us that the democratic convention did re-
ally meet at Bloomington a few days since,
and certainly it is not strange that the re-
suit is as you predicted it would be, weeks
ago.
You are well aware that c. Fox jackson
is decidedly the best wizard in the ranks
of the two broken wings of the great demo-
cratic party,-hence the result. No one
else but this (would-be) great man could
make such nice manGuvres to out general
'the rest of mankind" The balance of the
would-be candidates TO represent this dis
trict in Congress on the LocofOco side of
the "deep ditch and high ,raH," have TO
stand aside for the Fox. This same Rey-
nard has been prowling about this district
until al last he has feathered his nest with
a nomination, much TO the chagrin Of the
good honest sovereign people III these parts.
We well know that this noted parsonage is
possessed of as much low cunning as two or
three men ought to have. Tell me Of his
fitness 10 represent this district in Con-
gress, and l will tell you that he has not
the talent 10 be an honest or sensible politi-
clan. The course he has pursued for the
last three or IoIr years will testify 10 this
assertion.
/ When sensible men are led SO far astray
as TO vote for this trickster for Congress in
preference to men known TO possess all the
qualifications n :cessary, it would seem that
"times are not as they used 10 was" when
political purity was deemed one of the es.
sentials in mans character.
This remarkable candidate of the canine
race has left no means untried 10 obtain this
nomination. he made sundry speeches, beg
cling the honor of being the democratic nom
ince. Let him remain satisfied with this
honor conferred on him-his progress must
now be checked--his political sins must be
made to stare him in the face, and he be
made to receive his due reward. He must
be defeated in his plans, and no doubt will
be. The people must know all about his
past maneuvers TO obtain oflice:-his po-
litical sins even now outweigh mountains.
If the good people in this congressional dis
trict will stamp the black seal Of demagogue-
ism on our reputation, by electing c. F.
Jackson 10 represent US in Congress, the
fault shall not be laid to the Wings. Broth
or Wings once more prepare for a strong
political warlare-shake eff your lethargy
and show your lion strength at the ballot
box at our next August election. The
purity of our enlightened government de-
mauds this at your hands-tell all to be ac-
tive and unwGvering to put down this man
who cares for nothing but SELF
Let us as Republican Wings meet in con-
vention at Bloomington, on the 18th June,
and select man 10 be our standard bearer
who will do honor TO our cause. We have
| men in our ranks who are not political
f trcksters, but who will risk all on their up
! right, bold and steadfast adherence to our
country's good; let us select such person
to lead us through this stormy conflict, and
, victory will be ours.
Wings be active-be energetic-and by
so doing our common cause will pros per-
We must select man TO represent us il
= Congress who has the ability and politica
integrity 10 do so. All of us well know that
C. Fox Jackson lacks both of these neces
sary and important qualifications.
How did he spend his time while mem
Der of the Legislature at Jefferson City
Answer-By getting some one competent t.
, draft resolutions calculated to make one va
cate an office which he wished TO fill. De
ny il who can.
Now is the time TO lay this bigoted politi
cal humbug on the shelf. 1t must, it can, i
will be done. His host of friends are chal
lenged to publish anything he has don
,, worthy the Offices he has filled.
y TIMOTHY TIMBERToEs.
