TIE PARTY at present in power in this State, seem
determined to make clean sweep wherever their ability

Now of this we do not complain. We seek no office.
We didn't expect any Office and of course are not dis
appointed We really do not think that the mere pos
session of Office at this tme or at time like this, Is
matter IN make apv difficulty over. If the gentlemen

Let these interests be conserved ana we care
not by what particular man or oooy 'i
men they are conserved. Thus in every movement or
recommendation Of Governor Vance, or oil any other
officer finding to the good of the State, such officer
shall receive our Free hearty and unqualified support in
