ever dedicated the Goddess of Liberty His course
meets the unqualified appreciation Of ninety mine
hundreths Of the Southern people. They wish to
see his Administration sustained, for they very well
know that while his principles and policy prevail
the South is safe.
In view Of the fact that the President. however
wise and patriotic, s amost powerless without the
right kind of Congress to back him, it is the i'm
perative duty of the South to send only such men
to represent her in that body as will give to the
President of her choice cordial and hearty sup
port The South wants no representative OF hers
to annoy and embarrass the Administration Of James
Buchanan.
For example, the people Of this District almost
unanimously endorse MI. Buchanan's Admnistra-
ton, and ardently desire to see it successful. Can
hss ssa GF tcssss an
and bitter enemy of the Administration, and man
who would take pleasure in embarrassing Mr.. Buch-
anan, as far as he could? They will do no such
foolish thing. 1t is due to Mr. Buchanan-itis due
to the cause of Southern rights and it is due to COM
mon honesty and fairness, that the Southern people
send to the halls of Congress none but those who
are able and willing to give cordial and efficient
support to the present patriotic Administration.
Mr. Avery is bold, fearless and talented National
Democrat man Of mark at home and abroad, ard
one who can render efficient service not only in
sustaining the Administration generally, but also in
strengthening the South in Congress Such men
are needed, badly needed in that body. The South
has no use for such politicians Mr.. Vance in that
body-men who can see nothing higher than party,
nor dearer than factious opposition to everything
emanating from Democratic President
The freemen Of the Mountain District will take no
step backwards Principles are principles with them,
and not something to be put off and on at the bid
ding of selfish politicians They have deliberately
taken stand from which they cannot be moved
Mountain men are proverbial for old fashioned COM
mon sense, and Mr.. Vance will ind they are not to
be duped by the Himsey humbuggery with which
he is attempting to mislead them. He may talk to
the end of the race about " no partyism," but the
fact stands out broad and egible that be among
the first and the most bitter of Sans" disciples,
and is now one of the oery few who still profess to
not be ashamed Of having belonged to the secret
Order. Know Nothingism is in principle now what
it has BEEN Age has not removed its deformity
nor lessened its loathsomeness. -Asheoills Ne,os
