a desperate effort l. being made b
Css Tain diSinteFested patriots, who has
an intense and unextinguishable thiT
for OGlcs, who have bsen fed at the pul
lie crib for years, who have nsvcr done
days wJrk sirce the: arrival in ~
State, who Ar; rem srkA~.y OILY for thei
ignorance and presumption, to breed dis
affection in tue ranks Of the Democracy
and to nominate an independent ticket
composed Of members Ofall psFtiss-th.
refuse Of ell factions. Such ticket, III
offspring Of the viIest ismS, sabOut bsinI
formed in the good city OfPIacerviIIs, an'
the fathers Of 1t hops to humbug the peO
pie by inducing them to support II. W.
have noticed from time to time the deli
cious billing and coOinS between ults
Southerners and Anaticsl Black Rspub.t
cans, the pure, unadulterated sympathy
they have for each other, the cordially
with which they agree on all pOlitea
questions, and the hearty sincerity with
which they meet and embrace. Sudden.
ly the Republican has become . fire
eater" the "chivalry man" . disciple Of
Fred Douglass. The transformation H.
too sudden to DO real. II matters not
what silly OF fanatical proposition sbOn,
may suggest, chivalry at once swsars g.
iS just the thing and adopts Il with On
thuSiasm. Men who prOEsssed to scorD
and lOaths Black Republicans . few
months ago ere now their bosom friends,
their confidential advisers, their sworn
allies, their apOlogists, defenders and aF.
dent advocates. On every corner, IN sv.
cry saloon, they may be found encOur.
aging and cOnsOling each other, swearing
vengeance against the Democracy, and
pledging their hOnOrs to unite heart and
hand in support ofa ticket composed n
On equal number Of candidates from each
ism. Differing essentially in opinion, ths
noble band Of plundsr unitSS the foul els.
ments, and brings abOut . brotherhood
Of sentiment and feeling. Hating aud
dsspiSing each other, for none but SOCI
believes either Is sincere 10 his professions
Of regard and esteem, they yet for
the pitifnl sake Of Oflco sacrifice every
manly feeling, every honest sentiment,
every great principle TO obtain Il. What
care they for the interest Of the peOplsi
When, where and how have they done
anything to entitle themselves 10 support
Nest We give them Of1cc merely because
they want Il, and cannot make IN honest
living without iti because they claim ~
Independent tickets are humbugs-thS
vilest Of cheats the shallowest oftricks
They are always gotten up by politicians
bankrupt In character and fortune, for
the sole purpose Of deluding and cheating
the people. The leaders in all such
movements are men who have BEEN repu.
dated BY all parties, who have belonged
to eli and been treacherOus to ell. No
confidence can be placedin their integrity
or professions. Office Is their party,
their country, their religion, and 10 Oh.
tain it they would StOOp to anything
We warn the people against these sSlHsh,
intriguing, treaSherOus, smoOth-tongued
gentry. We have suffered enough alrsa.
dy from new parties; wS DO not wish to
try another experiment and again be
swindled. Non who have such an utter
disregard for principle - to join . party
when 1t is strong and abandon Il when Il
10 weak, cannot bo trusted and sre an.
worthy Of support. The principles Of .
Party .. that are good today csaasest .et b Be
bad tomorrow. A man who joins pr.
ty merely for Office, must either be .
kDave or . hypocrits,-and that the In
dependent ticket will Be made up Of such
worthless. We have every reason to believe.
Democrats! keep sloOf from the new
mOvement-it, its instigators and support.
erS arc all aErant humbugsi They viii
deceive you and bankrupt the county.
