MEssRs EDITORS While the great cry is
SouS up irotii Ihe IhroaIs VI Ihe CoiseiEa-
tives: 1.-THE Carpet Baggers have got your
votes and care nothing more for You" is it
not worthy of mention to see such Carpet
Baggers as Latin, Martindae and Legg
sending provisions into their counties to as
sist the suffering poor, without regard to
their political opinions.
Let every Republican Senator and Repre-
sentative take heed of this matter imme-
diately and feed the poor of their counties.
and cram the lie down the throats of such
unprincipled men as many of the so-called
Conservative party have already proven to
be to the people. Wake up Republicans,
and do your duty. Rally IN solid phalanx,
all the Carpet Baggers, Scalawags, Negroes,
and repentcnt sinners of the Conservative
party for Grant and Colfax.
