The Fifth District.


gent gentlemen from the Fifth District who assure
that the prospect of eecting Mr. Williams is very
good 1t is true, upon full and unembanassed par
ty showing, the District is Wing; but large ma
jorty of the District is sound on the question Of
Southern rights without regard to party. Herein
is Mr. G;lmer's weakness, and herein is Mr.. VIII
lnms strength. In addition to this, We learn that
the bad faith shown by Mr.. Gilmer towards Mr..
Waddel, is telling strongly against the former
Many intelligent and honest Wings are determined
not to Vote for man who associates when in Con-
gress with the black Republicans and who is capa-
bic Of breaking his solemn promise, as he has bro
ken his to Mr. Waddell.
1t is not that Mr. Gmer is black Republican
or an aboltionist. That is not the point No one
charges that he is aboltionist or black Repub-

ieiy congratulated him and were ready to kiss him;
ana that he stood side by side with Giddings and
GROW in their efforts to embarrass and break down
the administration 1t makes no odds what Mr.
dlmer is, if he consults and co operates with the
olack Republicans the result is the same to his
s''tuents They are injured, misrepresented, their
interests sacrificed no matter what he msy call
himself or be called Never let it be said that such
conduct, that such man has been endorsed by .
slaVeholdng constituency!
We learn that the Democracy of Person and Cas-
well are thoroughly aroused-that Mr.. Gilmer will
lose and Mr.. Williams will gain largely in the two
counties. We appeal to the Democracy elsewhere
IN the District to exert Memseloes to the utmost
Let them leave honorable effort untried to ensure
success. Now Is the time, brother Democrats
The fact that Mr.. Gilmer will be supported by
aae freesoilers of Chatham, Guilford, and Randolph
should Of itself influence every Southern rights

against him. These freesoilers rally to him nstinc
lively. They know their man
