Let No White Man Forget His Duty on
the I4th, 18th and 18th!


The election which begins to- day, Tuesday
14th, is one, the Importance Of which cannot and
must not be overlooked. The issues involved are
momentous in the last degree. The question has
narrowed down to the peint Shall this be white
mans government or not? The teachings of the
Yankee smissaries who havo infested this land
since the surrender have instilled the belief into
the mind of the coored people that the latter can
get no justice at the hands of the white race /;
and that they themselves (the colored people,
should have hand in the government For this
purpose the colorsd people have been formed into
loyal leagues, and bound by oaths to vote only
for those of their own race, or for such whites as
may have gained their confidence through the
manipulation of the leagues.
It therefore behooves tho white people of this
District, and every District in this State, to use
strenuous efforts to be at the polls on the days Of
election, to persuade his neighbor to 60 thither,
and, if necessary, to assist him in getting there;
and cast his vote for good mon who will do JUS
tce to tho white as we'll as the black race.
The Conservative Candidates who have been
selected for this District are the right kind of
men; men who command the respect and conf
dence of the people, and whose standing in the
community is sure guarantee of their usefulness
as legislators.
Lst no white man, then, in EdgeGeld District
fail to be at the polls on the days of election and
exercise the only privilege left him Of his former
rights. It is more important now than ever, that
this privilege be exercised, rs upon it may de-
pond the future political, social and material well
fare of the people of EdgeGeld District.
II, before tho voting is over, these remarks
should meet the eye of any man who has not
voted, and who, if he voted at oil, would vote on
the right side We beg him to daily no longer, but
to fly to the polls, even though it be at tho
eleventh hour.

INPEAcHERs IN TRoUBLE.-,t is very gen
orally conceded that the evidence in the i'm
peachment trial is too weak to hold water
So lar there is TO case against the President,
and great many Senators feel that such is
the fact; but the pressure on the entire Re
publican element of the Senate will become
intense as the trial draws to close, and re-
gardless of oath or evidence, it is feared the
great disgrace will be perpetrated Of remoV-
ing the head of the nation to accomplish q
party purpose. This week and the week al.
ter letters will pour in upon those Senators
who are considered disposed TO waver, and
men will come to Washington from all parts
OF the country to urge their Senators to vote
for conviction. Coaxiug and bullying will be
tried in turns, and no stone left unturned to
try and insure q verdict of guilty. 1t is need
less to say there are certain Republicans in
the Senate to day whom it will require ex
traordlnary efforts to overcome and induce
to vote against their convictions, and should
such men yield day of reflection will come

Progress of Impeachment.

Tho impeachment trial progresses slowly from
day to day, and no man can sny when or where
or how it will In all probability however, and
according to all appearances, il will end In the
ejectment OF President johnson, and the estab
lishment at Washington Of that perfect and abso-
luto despqtism ut which the Radical party have
SO long aimed. In our opinion, our people may
as we'll prepare themselves for this crowning
event. Nor will there ensue either war or blood.
President johnson will submit with the bert
grace ho can muster. lis true that Genl. Han
cock has been appointed to the command Of tho
Atlantic and Lake department, and that many
people are consequently of the opinion that the
President intends to fight; but we think there
will be no fighting and no fuss.
The opening speech in this great trial was made
two weeks ago by Beast Butter, who held forth
three hours, and cited profascly preceaonts in i'm
parchment trials in the British and our own gov
srnment. Before be closed, he (the Beast) lcc-
tured the President severely on matters of decen-
cy. Within the past week Genl. Sherman, Genl.
Thomas, and the worshipful Fostsr Bodgott of
Augusts have all been upon the witness stand in
this case. OF course Blodgetts evidence was ad-
verse to the President
This trial seems to DO looked upon with the
greatest indifference by the people of the North,
they regarding the whole matter as a quarrel be-
tween the ins and outs Of power, and nothing
more, not caring to what extent the liberties of
the people are jeOpardised.
We believe that the Radical usurpcrs will carry
through all their measures and designs and gain
unlimited and undisputed power. Their career,
however, will be short; it may be one year, it
may bo FIVE. Their overthrow will certainly come.
If the people do not finally rise and hu1l the mis-
chief-makers from power, it will be the first in
stance in history where they have not done 80.

you not cle,rly see that failure on your rartto
scale Jour claims would be gross violation of
tho moral law, the penalties of which you cannot
be screened from, by shrewd and managing attor-
noys, as, no doubt has often been unjnstly done
in this Court room under tho penal code Of our
State. -
Under such Circumstances, how can you mus
ter up courage sufficient to look those pauperized
little childron squarely in tho face and say
e Amen" to their poverty and your own conse:

fellow citizsns, that though the penal law OF the
State may give you verdict for purchased
slave. the moral law will never do it. And neither,
in my opinion, will the people, ut large In Edge
field District do it; and God grant they may not!
Such noble determination and precedent on
their part, would mako me but the prouder that
!. was in the midst of such people my mother
gave me birth and that nearly all my associa-
tons up to the present date of my life, have been
with such o. noble-hearted, and justice-asiding
race.
In conclusion, fellow-citizens, let US unite as
one individual, and take the teachings OF the
moral law as tho man of our counsel; blotting
out claims for slaves, ordinarily speaking, and
scale, compromise and arbitrate, as our standard
for the settlement of all other claims.
Yes. let us write these just and honest measures
in the palms of our hands as it were, and BIND
them upon our foreheads as frontlet. Yea! let
us proclaim them from the house tops as our claim
adjusting motto. And the great comfort and
relief thereby extended to suffering humanity will
not only give us peace during our probationary
term in this life but will be source of inex-
| orcssblc comfort to US when our immortal spirits
are summoned to take their eternal fight through
the dark valley which lies between every man
and his final destiny.
