The Reform Candidates.

oonl W. EIeullHS, ESq, 10 TIC Cdluludto
proposed on the Reform ticket for the St ate
Senate. he is known to nearly every voter
ir Wake county, and however any of his fell
low citizens may differ with him on the Re-
form question of the day, yet all ackno Wedge
him to be the high-toned christian gentle
man, and upright, honorable man. Upon
him the people can safely rely, and in his
hands their interests will not suffer.
For the Commons, S. Hines Whitaker, Ever
ard Hall, and S. w. Whiting, Esqrs., are pre-
sentedfor the suffrages of the voters of Wake.
The former of these gentlemen has canvassed
the county and made himself and his views
well acquainted with tire peGpla-As q man,
to him the proud insignia may he justly APP
plied-hei is without fear and without rep
roach!'' No man can assail his character,
and his competitors have been made to feel
that in point of intellect he is a match in
debate with the strongest of them. The
friends of morals and good government owe
him a debt of everlasting gratitude for his
selfsacrifcing devotion to the cause of his
country's good, which we believe will be duly
testified by the large and respectable vote he
o will receive on the Sd of August.
Everard Hall, Esq, though perhaps not
possessing as extensive an acquaintance as
Il others, yet isknown to be a man of irreproach-
! able integrity and unblemished reputation.
Having no political aspirations or ambition
c to crafty, he has nevertheless yielded his
Z e great INTERESTS OF the Relormaftory measures
d now agitating the country. He is worthy
It the support of every good man and true, and
!, will, we trust, receive the support of all such
at the ensuing election.
The Reform Ticket is now complete, the
l. vacancy being filed by the name of q long
and welltried man, S. W. Whiting, Esq,
q by whose consent it is placed along with the
noble trio-Fleming, Whitaker and Hail.
He is a man Of ability, an earnest and deci.
ded friend of Reform, and if elected would
serve his constituency with credit and fdeli.
ty By no means, let any friend of Reform
n so far forget his duty to the cause and his
n country, as to mix up his ticket with the
name of any of the whiskey treating candi

" The gentlemen on the Reform Ticket have
, been brought forward to sustain a high and
y important principle-they have been called
er out by the urgent request of a large number
ln of respectable citizens, and to them they have
es pledged their undivided support. The prin
cipie upon which they are brought forward
he has been clearly and unequivocally defined
la' and we believe is generally understood. NJ
selfish influences or ambitious desires arr
en- sought to be gratifed by them; but they
.er yield their names only at the earnest reques
he of their CO laborers in the great work of Re
form.
Now, fellow citizens, every man who feel
that he owes an allegiance to country ia
he above the mere behests of party interests an,
~ party schemes, we appeal to you to rally a
O., one man to the support of these men, un
ne swerved by the intrigues of party drill, an,
ds unaffected bythe appeals, Misrepresentation
ne u or whatever other influences may be brough
to bear upon you. Il strong, united and dc
e's termined effort on the part Of the friends c
&c Reform, willnot only secure the accomplish
W. ment of our ends, but viii even gain the res
mi pect and admiration ofour opponents; Will
~ adesertion of them will Justly call down upo
las US the taunts and opprobrium Of all classe
ed of our fellow-citizens Bear this in minc
the and let there be no distractions or division
among US.
