jured by the support OF such people, ana
we congratulate Col. Robson on his good
luck in securing their curses.
The Republicans of this county do not
ask Allison ard Davis to tell them who
they should select as their candidates. 1t
is strong argument against any man who
would be thought acceptable to them
Andy johnson cheated us SO badly we
want men beyond suspicion"
In this contest for Senator We will take
no part, only We wish to protect f.oii.
Wilson and Dr. Sterrett from the injury
these fellows are trying to do them. We
know them both too well to even suspect
they would turn johnson on our hands if
elected, or that such men as Allison and
Davis would control them. We hope, for
their sakes, that next weeks Republican
will denounce them, and thus remove any
ground of suspicion. We are confident
they are reliable men and do not wish
support from SO suspicious quarter. Ii
the Republicans Of the county supposed
| for one moment that either we're tinctured
with Jobnsonism they would not give
them any support. As for Col. Robson
be needs no defense from US. The abuse
aud curses Of the Republican are sudi-
cient to satisfy the party that he is not the
choice of johnson & Co. lie hated reb-
els and fought them nobly, bu. as Allison
and Davis liked rebels they would no:
fight them in the field, and are now trying
to help them by sustaining Andy John
son. Let the people say whether he is
competent TO fill the Office of Senator
He was one of our most gallant soldiers ];
favorite in the amy is good citizen !;
is a man of sound Judgment and every
way qualified for the position. True, he
will not get drunk is not common
blackguard did not run with the llth
corps at Charlottesville did not tear of
his shoulder straps to hide his rank did
not break his sword, throw il away and
run like coward, and then cry with sore
heels. He did not leave The ranks and
act US clerk for the regmental commissary'
| and wnen the fight commenced, hide be-
hind the beef wagon and suck the whisky
barrels. Had he done al! these like some
other people perhaps, in their estimation,
he would be fit for Senator.
The excuse for this attempt to injure
Prof. Wilson and DR.. Sterrett by prais-
ing them, and to aid Colonel Robson by
abusing him, is that Col Patterson bro't
him out, and for the purpose of selling
out the county. Colonel Robson was
brought out by his friends. We received
three communications in one week from
soldiers in favor of Col. Robson. Col.
Patterson had nothing whatever to do
with it and knew nothing of it until we
showed him the communications No
MAJ can charge Col. Patterson with ever
selling out the county. He has always
been true to the party and county, and
has always taken pride in seeing the in
te:ests Of the party and county advanced.
The people well know this, and never
have refused to give him nomination
when he asked it. No matter what mis-.
fortune befell him he always turns in and
supports the ticket, and thus proves his
devotion to his party. Whoever is the
nominee Of this county will receive his
support cheerfully and will need it.
"TEE CAT OUT OF THE BAG"
TIE Republican ''lets the cat out of
the bag before it closed its article, by
advising the friends of Wilson and Ster-
re,t, il they get defeated, to bolt and de-
feat the ticket by electing Locofocos.
No, sir, you did that yourselves until you
were run out of the party, and you want
to drag out some good men with you. In
this you will fail. The last experiment
in boiling was sad one for the party in
this county and will not be repeated by
the same parties soon again.
Now the truth is the Republican wants
to help to elect Ez. Parker Senator, and
hopes TO get up fight in our party. You
can't do it. No true Republican will be
seen with you, and all scorn your advice
Your little miserable clique left tie party
last year for its good. You are out aud
we intend to keep you out, You have no
voice in the affairs of cur party, aud it is
insolence and imrcrtinence in you to pre-
sumo to talk to Republicans. You can't
elect Ez. Parker to the Senate until after
he "marches that army of his on Wash.
ington and dethrones the tyrant Lincoln, -
as he said in one Of his speeches during
tho
