that they will be worthy OF the names they bear ;
that. unlike the counties Of Terry and F"h@ef'
their citizens will be eminent for sobr'ety, and be
forever ashamed to use pine top whiskey to carry
elections. That. they will "strikc for their coun-

But all testing aside. We warned our friends
on the day of election against the efforts which
We knew tho Democrats were making in their
grand barbacue-whereby shrepish ways were
impaired to men. by Spoiled mutton and bad whis-

and bessars all description Drunkenness and
riot were rampant at Terry's precinct, where the
Democracy made their strongest demonstration.
and the scenes OF tho day were more discrediia'
bic than any ever before enacted in this city or
vicinity, and should rebound to the lasting dis
grace u the dcmoraliacd Democracy. IT was by
such influences that our excellent friend, Colonel
Flood was defeated; and we envy no Wing, who
voted against Col. Flood. the feelings he may en-
terrain in contemplating this result aud the man

mattox did for Col. Flood, it is u shame and II
lasting rcproach to the Wings of Lynchburu that
he was defeated. BY this act, they have thrown
away the main chance aud will never again ha'e

Flood. is. unquestonably, stronger than any other
man we could have run. and had peculiar claims
upon the city of I.ynchburs. Wings have chosen
to ignore them be it so--wc have done our duty.
