The Walker Men Proclaim Themselves
Republicans and Kick Democracy.

INC DeihocratS are uisoWneu Dy the NIR-
GINIANs. They have sought to claim the
election of WALKER as Democratic tri-
umph, but the WALKERITEs not only give
them the cold shoulder but refuse to recog-
nize them. They are kicked out without
remorse. The Petersburg Lnder, the paper
which the Sentinel was so fond of quoting
thus refuses to acknowledge ANY kinship
with Democrats
The New York World, with that reckless self
ishness which characterizes the Northern re-
mainder OF dead Democracy, persists in claiming
the election in Virginia as Democratic victory.
Remembering that the World was unsparing in
its opposition to the movement which has event
uated in the defeat of WELLS, this assumption is
impudent to say the least oil it. ia
1t matters very little to us what opinion the
World chooses to hold, or to pretend to, but it
may interest that would-be resurrectlonist to
know that, SO FAR rs the people of Virginia are
concerned, having ut last work ed out their own
dclivcrance, they have no earthly idea OF hang
ing about the necks 80 lately escaped from the
yoke the milestone OF alliance with an uneasy
ghost. -.st.l
Don't count on MS 10 assist at your next

Dead Democracy! And this from the
paper which the Sentinel has claimed and
quoted as Democratic The Virginia Cen
servativcs decline to "hang about their necks
tlte mill stone OF alliance with an uneasy
ghost" Poor Sentinet! Poor Democracy!
TO hc called an uneasy ghost" by one of the
leading WALKER papers. 1t must now he
plain to even the belogged brains of North
Carolina D,mocIats that theic is no De-
mocracy IN Virginia, and that in singing
hGsannaIis for the triumph of WALKER they
have been unwittingly praising the fine APP
mocracy is dead, and it is but its uneasy
ghost that is now annoying the people of
North Carolina. Soon, however, the ghost
will be laid and will vanish forever.
The Virginia papers, seemingly in order
to deprive the Democrats of their last hope,
all speak in the same strain as does the In
der. The Richmond Enquirer and &eami
ner in an article headed "The Walker party
of Virginia, says,
Of True Republicans and Conservatives, white
and colored, has won splendid victory over the
organized irauI of pretended Republicans and
compact maSses vi blinded ignorance, and it
becomes the victors to use their victory wisely.
They have elected i respectable Legislature and
Il respectable Governor, and they should show,
in the hour OF triumph, that they are entitled to
respectable representation. Moderation should
now rule the dominant party" -....,
=" Composed of true Repubicans!" And
this from one of the leading WALKER pa
pers-a pap, r that six months ago Was Dem
ocratic! No paper worked harder for the
triumph of WALKER than did the Enquirer,
yet it claims to be 7" True Republican"
What have the Democrats to say to this ?
What ground can they find upon which to
rest their claim to lie entitled 10 share in the
JOY of this great Republican yictorys
The well known Richmond Wing,
which has always been one of the most in
fuental papers of VIRGINIA, and whose pre-
vious Democracy has never been questioned,
administers the following crushcr to It's
qu0Rdam Democ ratio friends:
We beg the New York World and all the over
jealous Democratic Journals 10 let us alone.
Il hat we have done has been done without ihcir
aid, and in spite OF their opposition. We are
more indebted to President GRANT than TO all the
Northern Democrats put together i,,r our dtliv
crance. Let us alone!
What can the NORTH CAROLINA Democrats
say to this? The late VIRGINIA Democrat 5
and now VIRGINIA Republicans, plainly teal
the Northern Democracy and Democrat {
papers every where to "ht them alone y
They want no Democratic praise, and intenil
to hold no communion with the dead
Democracy" Democracy is a millstone
from which " the Virginia Conservatives
have escaped" and they wan1 nothing mpre
20 do with it,
Such are the facts in the case. The VIR
GINIANs have proven themselves wise as
serpents," if not exactly as " harmless as
doves They have accepted the results OF
the war. They have resolved to waste no
time in chewing the cud of hatred, but are
going to work to build up their waste
places. The Liberal Republicans of VIR-
GINA inscribed upon their banner Univer-
sal Suffrage" and "General Amnesty" and
the true men of the State, without regard
ing former prejudices, rallied around that
standard by thousands, and won that victory
which places VIRGINIA in the front rank of
reconstructed States
People of North Carolina, the same golden
opportunity is yours Upon the banners
of the Republican party of NORTH CARO-
LIMA is inscribed the same glorious legend
which led the Republicans of VIRGINIA to
victory-Universa Suffrage and General Am
nesty. Ye who, while detesting, have
heretofore acted with the sham Democracy,
remember that the sane liberal sentiments
which controlled the Republican party Of
VIRGINIA control the Republican party OF
NORTH CAROLINA Too long have the soph-
istries and malignant falsehonds OF the
leaders of the so-called Democracy been all
lowed to deceive the people. Too long taye
they been permitted by invoking blind
hate, to destroy The prosperity of the
State, and force poverty upon the people.
The time for deliverance has come. Let not
the bitter feelings engcndered by malignant
partisans be longer allowc'l to keep our
people in poverty, and our State in debt.
Let the wise actions of your broihers in
VIRGINIA teach you the folly of trusting to
the lies of the Democrats. Let the indignant
contempt viii, which the VIRGINIANs refuse
to hold terms with the Democracy open
your eyes to. the baseucss of the sham De-
