The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1857-07-28
TO THE DEMOCRACY OF THE
SEVENTH DISTRICT.

RcfOre another issue of our paper can
zach most of our subscribers, the elections
ill he over. We therefore desire to make
another and last appeal to our political
f.iapds TO turn out on Thursday the 9th
If August. and vote for Burton Craige and
f,r Free Suffrage and equal rights. Don't
f,roct Free Suffrage, measure that ought
O. meet the appreciation of every free white
man.
A friend has handed us the following ap-
neal which VIC insert in place of any fur
thor remarks of our own;
storm as distracted the country last Fall it
:. strictly in accordance with political laws
chat there should be for time calm. The
country. rcposing unbcundcd confidence in
the nationality and sound conservatism of
+bc Administration, has relaxed its vigilance
and left the good old ship of State" to float
Icisnrclv along without the least apprehen-
e;np of her striking 4 rock or running
oc,ips: a breaker. We have All Executive
whose whole record justifics and encourages
This trust But he must be sustained i'll
Congress Ivy men of the right stamp, or his
best cxcrtions aud good intentions will be
fruitlcss. Inthis District never within the
memory Of man were our opponents more
0ppar,ndy dishcartened and subdued. The
Hon. Burton Craice has now the field to
himself, and from all appearances will CON
tinue 10 do 50. But, brother democrats, we
owe it to him and the glorious principles he
has always 50 ably and faithfully represent
cd, 10 turn out on the first Thursday in
August an'l give him Il Pumping vote.
Permit one who has fought the secret Or
canization since lis arrival here from Yam
kccdom 70 warm you against too blind
confidence i'll yonr own strength. Had Mr.
Craig" o;.CA opposition and an animated
contest, his majority would not be less than
3,OUU. Our willy foes know that, hence the
stiffness that lrecedes the storm. IL is
rumorcd tlat y leading member of the know
nothing party will be voted for for Congress
at every precinct in every county in the
District. We have reason 10 believe that
the party organization of our opponents is
a. complete and effective now as ever il was
They will poll their full vote. Remember
that their organization is It secret one; their
movements are known only To the initiated,
and they expect on the day of election TO
take us by surprise. They know that is
the only way thy can ever hope 70 succeed.
We have no desire To sec party aniInositics
revived here-Our safety as Il people depend
upon 4 union Of the South for tie sake of
tic South. But we owe it to ourselves to
see that the will of the majority is not de-
ftatcd by the minority.
This is an Important clcction-thC first in
the State SINCE the Inauguration of Presi-
dent buchanan. The moral effect of large
vote will have Il beneficial influence in en-
courHging the friends of the Constitution
and the South, and i'll ntInidating and
crushing out our domestic foes. Let us
then bc on the alert-give one day TO our
party and principles and all will he well.
Even if there were nothing to anrrchend
from the Vaccinations of our political foes,
Mr. Crasc's fidelity. integrity, and devotion
I" princi .ic-hiS able, lna'hy, statesnanIike
and conservative course az Il Representa-
five. entities him to oar thanks and graft
tudc. which cannot he mrc appropriately
cvincrd tlttn by returning him to Congress
by It full vote of his party. MACON.
