| The texture of the Legislature is matter Of
vital Importance to us. We should omit no
possible chance to secure its control. The ne
groes stand together as unit, and never be-
fore have they employed such menacing Ian
| guage, or advanced such arrogant demands. To
is significant of evil, and in order to escape it,
if escape be practicable we must see to it that
our nelghbors, our friends and our kin folks
come out TO register and thereafter vote Sullen,
apathetlc, Or disguised men must be approach
ed by their friends, and the unhappy ''Bour-
bon. whose soul has been penetrated by the
| iron OF a cruel despotisnl, must be reasoned
with by those who sympathize with him. We
are clear upon this point: One Of the most
serious duties which every man now owes to
himself, to his friends, to his family, to his
State, Is to register, if he has not discharged
this duty, in order TO vote on the 9th of July.
when the decisive battle for Constitutional
liberty will be decided on the soil of Virginia

No matter how you intend to vote, Or even if
you are disinclined to vote at all, you should
not fail to register. You may change your mind
before election day, and having failed to regis
ter, you will be without vote. You and all
OF US are now on grand hunt, and every in
divldual should have his weapon and his am
muuitiou. He may think on starting out that
ne will just saunter along and leave others to
do the work, but if a buck crosses his path he
will change his mind So if he should find
himself confronted by a fierce varmint. Of
course this is but figure of speech. The bal
lot, not the bullet, is the thing to arm yourself
with, and We undertake to say that no matter
how you may feel now when the time comes
you will be warm for Walker and hot against
Wells. Be sure to register so that you may be
entitled to voe Not vote should be lost =
He who loses his vote by falling to register will
be looked upon as a skulker = Rich Wig
For the Spectator
The voters Of this Congressional District will
soon be called on to elect Representative in
the Congless of the United States. and one
who can conform to the requirements of Law
1t Is we'll, therefore, that we be cautious and
only vote for men who will be of service to us,
and who will faithfully represent our interests
A number of voters from this end of the Dis
trlct, believing that VIM. MINES, Jr., of Page
county, possesses the necessary requirements of
good representative, desire that he shall at
once announce himself as candidate, being
assured from the interest he has in common
with us, that he would make faithful! public
servant. MANY VOTERS.

ley Democrat says The truth is, Grant is an
egregious humbug, and We have no doubt that
his election will prove to be in all respects
calamity to the country
