Mr.. Editor: lam glad to be

of Mr.. Means for Sheriff are
quite flatterin3. Those who
regarded his chance as nearly
hopeless, two or three weeks
ago, now regard his election as
a fixed fact. The brag game
of the other party is bowed
out, and Mr.. Means is walking
straight to the sheriflalty. The
people are for him, confident
in his honesty, capability, and
integrity. No power on earth
Can defeat HIN, If he and his
friends attend TO their duty, as

To ALL WHOM IT MAY Con-
Germ, GREETING: Kno'o Ie,
That we, the publisher and eds
itor of the Family Visitor, have
received our political commits
sion for the Presidential Cam
paign now about to commence
in the several States which com
gg Ssff tthhikNhtgt fis as follows:
Political Commission.
eco ye, by your little Visl>
,or,into all the towns,nelghboule
hoods, and counties OF North
Western Virginia, and fight the
Democracy. Meet this abomI~
nable political cheat at every
turn and corner-show it no
quarters. Cry aloud and spare
moi, and show the people their
political sins. Deal out such
blows as will bring death and
destruction to the enemy wher-
ever you may find -hir1.c Re Re-
member, this is no time 70 taiter,
nor to compromise with the
s e,Ss enemy OF civd, religious
and political rights, that ever
deceived the American people.
Remember, also, that thousands
of oppressed white men-men
who should be, but are no long
er, freemen-are now watching
your course; they will applaud
your courage, if you figth like a
man, as you should. But should
you falter, lag or grow weary
in this great, weighty and re-
sponsible task assigned you, their
upbraidings will haunt you as
long as you live. BE BRAVE
be Yigilant, be Instant in season
and out of season. A great
tween this and next November.
Virginia must be reclaimed from
the oppressor's grasp; the rights
of. the white laboring class must
be respected; the exclusive pri-
vileges ofnigger owners must be
curtailed; taxes must be equal
lied; white men in every sec
ton of the State must share a.
like in the exemptions, blessings
and privileges of our State Gov>
eminent.
But this is only half your
work: Democracy must be ,
crushed oat Of the general gov
eminent; q complete and tho
rough change must be effected !
in our rulers as we'll as in the
principles Of our Government ;
let the future management OF
the Government fall into the |
hands Of wings, republicans,
Americans, or any branch ofthe
Opposition Party, whatever
only let Democratic slave-oracy |
be dethroned and driven from |
the land, and all will be well.
Let no temptation or earthly |
consideration, for one moment,
weaken your energies or divert
YOUR action. And may your
humble efforts be crowned with |!
signal success"
The above Commission shall |
regulate our course until Virgin
ia is purged from the iniquities
growing out of niggerism, and !
until the Union is saved from |
the desolating breath Of south>

The doomsday Of patent de-
mocracy is at hand. The day
of vengeance draweth near
when the iniquities Of that hy>
pocritical and treacherous par
ty will be visited upon it, in the
entire destruction Of the enchan-
ted castle which has long been
the abode Of the vilest pollti>
clans that ever disgraced our
country. Looking back upon
the history Of the past, and de~
E5erateIy surveying the scenes
through which oUr country have
passed during the quarter OF a
century in which the democra>
cy ruled the country, our only
surprise is that the sovereign
people did not years ago do for
that party the very thing Which
it has recently done for ITSELF
destroy it. 1t has only lived to
curse our common beloved
country since the days Of An>

,n,Gi,nre of the. pcop?e'5 mon
ey. The treasury ofthe teder-
al government has frequently
been drained of the last dollar
since the democratic party
came into power. to buy up the
influence Of leading politicians
and thus control the votes OF
the people. Such have been
the corruptions Of that party,
and such the multitude and
magnitude of its political sins;
that, with all the charms that BE-
long to the ,cord democracy, II
t has sIi!! rs f95id ppabio irsssu
ry to keep it alive that has, al
length, impoverished our nation
But democracy is virtually no
more! The days of its trickery
Gifts victories, and Of its SPLEEN
dor, have passed away together
The last Of its line Of Industrious
Presidents will soon retire from
the White House, and the mer-
ciuary gang Of Hatterers will go
from their fat Offices bowling
most piteously, while all the
people will shout: democracy
is fallen! Democracy is fallen ~

These, Mr.. Editor, are only
a few Of the great men that were
convened at Baltimore on the
9Th and 10th of May, 1860; and
such were the men that gave 10
the conservative men Of the na>

The Constitution, andthe enforce
ment ofthe Ldws." And these
are the men that inscribed upon
this banner the names Of JOHN
BELL, Of Tennessee, and Ed
WARD EVERETT, Of Mass,
for the highest Offices in the gift
Of the people. In that Conven>
ton there was not a harsh word
spoken, nor an unfriendly SEN

not appear.
