FRIENDS OF FREE SUFFRAGE

to Mr. Gilmer. Indignantly deny that their candidate
is opposed to Free Suffrage; yet they themselve:
keep up fire in opposition to that measure. Here
is an extract from the Salisbury Herald, rantank
orous Know Nothing Gilmer sheet:
"FREE SuFFRAcE.Ths hobby is again in the field will
Gov Bragg its rider a wonderful hobby gotten W
for what To insult the good of eveywhle man ii
North Carolina"
They swear Mr. Gilmer is not opposed to it; ye
it is not simply hobby" but " wonderful hoo
by" and gotten up " to insult the good sense o
every white man in North Carolina" They are Ger
tainly I" wonderful friends to Free Suffrage who
thus talk about it, The deception of Know Moth
ingism seems TO be equalled only by its depravity.
