from the New Market spirit of Democ

BY hundreds Of persons in Rockingham
and Shenandoah. There are various 9th
er items connected with the life and time
Of this distinguished organ Of the Know
Nothing party, which il may be necessary
to bring to light during the course Of thi.
canvass. Mr.. Carlisle cannot complain
He has placed himself before the people
Of the State for their suffrages. II is theil
duty to have his sntecrdenis that they

spects himself can Tor an instant think Of
voting for this corrupt man.
Mr.. EDIroR lit was with no little
surprise that we noticed the announce
mest Of Iohn s. Carlisle. as the Know
Nothing candidate for Congress. in the
Parkersburg district. We were not sur
prised that the Know Nothings had Sc
lected Carlisle us their candidate, because
the selection Of such men for Office is in
keeping with their professions and de-
signs: but we were surprised that CAT
isle should have the inimitable impotence
to aspire TO seat in the council Of the a.
ton, after having for years led a life Of the
most publishing shame and disgrace. We
were surprised that the inhabitants oil
Western Virginia, whose purity Of though,
and sentiment, whose virtue and love oil
freedom. SO much IN accordance with their
climate and country, which is calculated
to engender all that ennobles man, should
be SO egregiously imposed upon as ever
to give shelter to that vile political scaven-
ger, that sacrilegIous wretch, that laseivl-
Gus, lictntious, polluted renegade.

himself in field Of growing corn. and

plying the man, gave him twenty do'iars,
advised him TO go hence, and never show
his face in Rockingham again.
He then abandoned his sweet love, and
went to the pure atmosphere Of Western
Virginia; and. wonderful to relate, as a
Democrat, wired himself into the State
Senate as a Democrat wired himself into
the Reform Convention. And. now, as a
Democratic Know Nothing, (as il there

Surely, surely the voters Of the Parkers-

man is John s. Carlisle and such men
