Republican vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1857, 1856-12-13
Wolves in Sleeps Clothing,

Inc result OF tue recent political casipal IN
is not a conclusion of the contest-it will,
We fear, be opened in all its bitterness, in
1S60-and, as preliminary to this, the pros
pectuses of various neutral papers profess
ing to be Independent of all political par
ties, are making their appearance in the De-
mocratic journals, particularly in Pennsyl-
yania. "This is trick" says an exchange
from that State, of the Abolitionists to in
troduce into the families Of Democrats, pa
pers that have been devoted to seetionalism
during the late contest. The idea is, to
commence the campaign Immediately, by
introducing papers into the families of De
mocrats under the mask Of neutrality, and
whenever occasion OFFS to assail the De-
mocraey. whom they would hyopritically
deceive into the belief that they were sub
ecribing for neutral paper.
One of the papers alluded to by our Penn
sylvania contemporary, is the New York
Weekly Times, to which we shall add seye-
raj others, Some of which, though not pro-
fessedly neutral, have done material injury
in poisoning the minds of Southern people,
who are not shareholders. The New York
Herald, the Tribune, the Saturday Courier
md Cincinnati Times, are of this class, and
it is time their circulation was stopped in
the South. This last paper, the Cincinnati
Timea flooded Virginia in the Gnbernato-
rial eanvass--there was not county in the
North west that this Infamous sheet did net
reach, and at enc time, we we're informed by
o distinguished gentleman who canyassed a
portion of the North weat, at least serentv
Bushels Of these papers passed through the
Wheeling post-oilice in one week. That
there was such subscription TO it, nobody
heheves--and that the publishers gave the
papers away, nobody believes. The enor-
nous circulation was unquestionably aided
by secret fund, that the Know Nothing
Councils could probably explain.
1t is time the people of the South were
warned against these incendiary publiea-
tions--it is time they were taking care of
their own households, and aiding to support
the presses at home which are advocating
the rights of the South If they must have
Northern paper, at least support such as
are true to the South and to the Union
the Boston Post, the New York Day Book,
and the Albany atlas and Argns. for exam
PIE, from which latter paper we take the
following
ave repeat, it is our duty to begin the
next campaign now, by the circulation Of
newspapers. by maintaining and perfecting
our organization, and by such other efforts
as to secure to the Democracy the ascen-
dency.
1T the Democratic Press Of the country
was supported half as well as the Journals
Of the opposition are. there is no telling the
vast amount of good that could be accom-
plished. We canaot see why this is not
done. Where can men be found who have
laborea harder for the good of their party
and the country. Where are the Journals
that have been conducted with more zeal
and ability than the Democratic Press of
America. Their superiors can no whore be
found, and yet, the great mass of them exc
out beggarly existence, while the MAORI
ty Of those who conduct the papers Of the
opposition grow sleek and fat This should
not be. Every Democrat should feel it his
duty to aid in circulating bis party paper,
and in contributing to It's Advertising pa
sronage."
