49,, 49,. . Democrat. We want II distinctly
,,le-stooi. rs we wish to receive all the
r.rsing from Republicans as soon as conve-
,ieu,. There are many causes that nave
Isl 10 this decided change in the politics OF
hi. rarer. The prime cause is the total
failure of the party to do q single thing to-
y
The leaders appear TO us not to care n CONT
mental what happens to State II shc ooh
r,st Republican vote. The Government
,,rnorts niggers in idleness because they
ra,r ,., the Republican ticket, and starve
,,L;,e men because they do not. This, white
,..,a .annot allow. They will not allow 1t.
" Tho leaders of the Republican party are
.r;,;,al backs-rcnegade from the Demo
i.;r rank,-IncR whose characters are
.',,aj and who care no more for the wei
,-,ng the country than we do for the Can
,.5.i islands. They are notorious thieves,
r,nya ro stone unturned to accumulate
,,,,onhocks REGARDLESS of the people whom
,r;.rrrrescnt. We cannot live III the
to,.o with such n"ighbors, hence we retire.
l., .pr retirement we shall doubtless have
..,nrthinc to say hereafter that will not
,n;, these political thieves, and what we say
will he p.4in and to the point.
The nomination Of General Grant for
President hy the hen convention has sick
cnrj thousands Of Republicans throughout
the land.
They looked upon the nomination as on
,rknnwlclgrncut of the fact that the party
l,rc nj, nominate its best men, for fear OF
i,norainious defeat; which they will sustain
next November as sure rs that time comes.
They want to ride into power on the Gene
rtr, military reputation, notcarlng whether
he knows anything or not. Whoever ls
noa.iuutcl 10y the Democratic Convention
or the ith Of July will receive the support
of the Representatives We're it the devil
himself, we firmly believe his adminlstra-
tIyu could not be worse for the tOiling mil
lion. than is the present one.
Il has been reported in the streets Tor
fpmc time-evcr since We took the re6pon-
.,l.litv Of expressing our views on the
Republican nominations-that we were
t,,Iur over 10 the Democracy. We confess
wr have given cause for such rumors, and
to-day we accept the situation. 1t has been
stated by some that we have been bought.
The latter is IN unqualified, unconstitu-
,onaI, malicious lie. Put that IN your
iipr,. Men who have subscribed for the
representative on account Of its Shangh han
lr1cliyit!cs, and who wish to stop it, are at
pcrtrc, liberty to do so by paying up their
subscription. If they have paid in advance,
their money will be returned to them on
applicution. Those who have taken the
PAPER on account of its local news can rest
0-,urci that this department will be better
than cycr-'' we'll worth the price Of admis-
siou.' They are requested to continue
their patronage; but if they can't 90 the
politics Of the thing, We would refer them
10 the Commonwealth, 81 good local paper,
aaI we'll worthy Of support. But if you
want q rcl-hot Democratic paper, bear with
lis i few weeks, until We get fairly settled
in the harness, and you will be accommo-
dated. We shall 10 nothing by halves.
Announcing here that We are, from this
ont, to hc found in the Democratic ranks,
fighting for the rights Of men-principally
white mcn-we hope that before next No
Yenbcr We will find our present readers
enjoying the same blessing.
We expect TO be cursed considerably by
our Republican neighbors for this move;
but there il Il certain class who should be
careful, and not say too much, as we may
think Of something to say as mean rs they
can. The class of men who left the Demo
cratic party q few years since, and have
trcu kept III office ever since, IN order to
retain them, they want to keep rs quiet az
Possible, for We shall event for them on
every occusion."
We have on our books the names of
number of descendants of witch-burners,
whom We cannot hope 10 retain as long as
We speak the truth so the sooner they no.
iiy US Of their intention to withdraw, the
better they will suit us.
