Tefeby Notified,
That matters are coming to a des-
peratepass with the Radicals. The
Record says everything is very en-
couraging; each day witnesseth
the conversion from Democracy to
Radicalism of some hitherto trait
orous cnss. Well, God help us if
such is the case, for by the time the
November election comes off there
will be scarcely any Democrats left
in Vinton county. But am happy
to state that none but Raper look
at it in that light. On the other
hand we know Of many who have
heretofore voted the Radical ticket
NOE louslly proclaiming their adhe-
sion to Democratic truth. But it
does not take man of very extra
ordinary judgment to see the des-
perate condition they are in.
Immediately after the County
Convention these Radical Blood
Tub candidates attempted to bay
the grocery keepers throughout the
County, In this they made a signal
failure. They next tried. to buy
some defeated Democratic candidate;
and, | am happy to say, failed en-
tirely in this also. They then tried
to induce bar-keepers to take money
and treat it out; bnt they met with
the same success in this movement
They then concluded to attend the
groceries themselves and spend their
money. Well, they have done SO,
and are doing so now, and any
amount Of "scabs" have passed
over the counters, but they have
not bought single man by the op-
peration. Satisfaction not being
received in this line, they concluded
to buy the irish vote by paying
money to the Church! They (or one
Of them) gave the church ten dol
lars, thinking that would certainll
secure the Irish cote, or a portion o
it at least. They Cor he) did no
dare to give more, for the inten tiol
would then be so apparent tina
every one could see it.
Now, my friends Of Vintoncounty
know every word in the abov
statement is true and can be proven
Do they think the Irish Of yintol
county are such block heads tina
they cannot see-through this fimsy
pretcnse of liberality? IF they dc
they are wasting their time an,
money, for we perfectly understan,
what they are driving at. The
cannot bug us. Although poor il
purse, we would not sell our princi
Piles for all the money they possess
Another trick they are attempting
to play is equally contemplate, viz
that ofswapping votes. Now Wi
not accuse Mr., Fry of this, but
know his friend has made an attemp
at such work.
Now, my Democratic brethre
of Vinton county, what do yo
think of such work I? Are the me
who engage in it. entitled to tn
support of any honest citizen2 Yo
will answer with me that they ar
not. These men boast of thei
morality, honesty, aobteaess Of pm
pose, &C.. but | warn Democrat
against them. Do not forget thei
past record. Do not forget that du
ring the war they stigmatized us a
"traitors," "cowards," cooper
heads" &c. They entertain tn
same feelings tow I'd us to-day bu
they dare not utter them. No
they now come to us with honeyet
words, pat us on the back and hav
the brazen impudence to ask us
vote for them. See them in H
alifax first. My friends, watc
them! Avoid them, for their yer
presence is pollution! We will g
to the polls in a solid unbroke
column and cast our votes for tn
Democratic nominees.
Woe be unto the Radical part
when that glorious day arrives, fc
there will be gnashing of teeth an
cursing among them, and they shal
