Richmond daily Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1842-1861, 1860-07-18

Old Joe Lane has gone eleetioneerng tour into
North Carolina! He left Washington a few days ago,
under the auspices Of Congressman Winslsw, to visit
Warreaton and other places in the "Old North State"
The reason of the old ignoramus candidate for the
Vice Presidency the DisunOn ticket going to North
Carolina the present time may be found in the fact
that the State election in North Carolina takes place in
about fOr,night-the first Thursday in August-and
the Democrats in that State being alarmed for the result
have imported old Lane in the hope that his noble
presence and classical speeches may turn the scale in
their favor
As for ourselves, We would about see
Seward or Sumner come into a Southern State, as
man who voted Tor that odious and abominable
Agrarian and Abolition measure, known the Home
stead Bill. And cid Lane was he man who voted,
side by side with Seward, Sumner, Wilson, Wade,
Hamln, and ali the Abolitionists in the Senate,
for that miserable Abolition Homestead Bill-a bill
designed to rob the South in order build up Northern
Observation-Disclosures, out Of which to erect Abolition
States And vet old Lane has the impudenee to face
Southern people aud set his foot Southern soil We
hope the good people of North Carolina Of all parties,
viii treat old Lane a Ro5ber and Traitor deserves
to be treated lie is a native of that State, and there
FORE has no excuse as Northern born may have for
voting to rob North Carolina aud the whole South for
the benefit Of Northern AbOlOnists If he really
to get his deserts while in North Carolina, should
soon bear Of his dangling from the talest pine in that
noble old State.
But what miserable and contemplate exhibition the
vain aud pOmpOus old ignOramus is making Of himself
in going Into North Carolina electioneeriug tour
while he hinselfisa candidate for the second highest
Office in the gift Of the American people! But the peo-
pie Of North Carolina with their clear common sense
and native honesty, through this dsreputable
electioueerng mauWuyre Of old Lane, and will accord
ngy assure him quickly that his effort to influence their
Safe election will be loves labor lost
Suaage and melancholy the spectacle indeed pre-
ssuted to the American peOple For it is noticeable
fact tha, a the candidates for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency, excep. Bell and Everett, who quietly,
dgnfedly and honestly attending to their business at
home are at this moment travelling the country,
aud haraugung the people in their own behalf! Breck
iuridge is making speeches his way to Kentucky
Douglas specialized himself to New York, where he
still is-JOhnsOn ia Grating to the people Of Georgia
aud Old Lane suffering tobacco juice and detestable
grammar in the faces Of the soveregns of North Carolina.
Observe the striking contrast Bell and Everett gen
emen aud scholars, patriots and hOne't men-ihey
at home pursuing their ordinary avOcatOn not playing
the part Of demagogues aud taking personal part in
the Presidential contest People Of Virginia and the
South can YOU fail perceive that Bell and Everett
the only candidates before you really and truly deserv
lag Of your respect your confidence and your jealous
support through the canvass and at the polls?
In conclusion We trust that our Wing and American
friends in North Carolina will geo every voter in the State
between now and the day OfeecOn and urge them the
polls and eutreat them to vote for Pool and win go-
rous victory on the first Thursday in August Comrades
Of the old North State the eyes of your brethren through
out the Union are fixed full upon you and expect you to
elect Pool and carry the State for Bell and Everett most
tumphanty Be up and doing, actively aud zealOusy,
from now until the day Of election, and then send US
glowing and glorious account Of yourselves!
