are.
On the lth Of July, 1864, the Democracy OF
Jackson county had celebration, at which,
among Others, the following resolution was
passed: r-,
''Resolged That we heartily endorse the
speech OF Alexander Long preferring of the
two alternatives recognition of the independ-
ence Of the Southern Confederacy to suhugating
the people of the South"
AT that time the Democrats of Jackson county
had paper, which was owned and controlled
by the party. In the issue of that paper fol
August II, 1864, was the following editorials:
There is widespread and growing opinion
! throughout the land, that our troubles can be
settled by negotiation, and an earnest desire has
taken possession of the hearts of the people oi
all parties to have this horrible butekery stopped
They believe that this helhsk scdr has been car

The Union soldiers recently celebrated their
victory over the rebels at Gettysburg, in July,
1868. The New York Day Book. one of the
leading Democratic papers in the United States,
commences an editorial upon this celebration as
follows:

annual jubilee over their victims and Dragged

And it concludes as follows;

in defence Of Gods eternal decree, not to pre-.
vent the Beechers and Morlons from violating
that decree and equalizing with negI oes if they

The Virginia Election.

WE ask those Democrats who are bowling
about the result of the election ln Virginia, to
read the following from that good Democratic
authority, the N Y. Day Book;
A certain class of Journals are eongmtulating
the Democrats of Virginia, and the country at
large. upon the results of the late campaign in
that State. The extreme wing of the Mongre
party have been oulgenemled by the other wing

by the people Of Virginia Of the equality of ra-

before the country, aud all that the Democracy
Is lighting against. The ordeal was terrible,

THE Democrats of Jackson county are the
true blue. They never do things in o doubtful
manner. All through the war they supported
the rebellion with a high hand and an outstretch-
ed arm. The y, as matter of course, do not
like the nomination of Gen. Rosecrans. The
delegation from Jackson county in the State
convention voted all the way through for Chiffon
A. White for Governor. To show what sort Of
a man White is, we give q few items from bis
record. During the war he said
IF this Administration is permitted to 90 on,
when the soldiers come home they will steal,
murder, rob, and rape your mothers wives and
daughters, and you will be powerless. There
will be no law to protect YOU"
On the 10th of August, 1868, this same m an,
in speech at Russelvile, said:
This Administration must be put down and
wiped out Our Southern Brethren cannot be
whipped. You must withdraw your army from
their soil raise the blockade restore to them all
the territory you have taken from them, pay
them all the damage you have done them and
then, and not till then will you have peace"
On the 18th of August, 1865, this same man
White, in speaking Of the heroic Phil. Sheridan,
said; .
'.lhe rebels in he South are more loyal than our
soldiers aow IN the .Geid"
II THANK GOD AM ONE WHO NEVER
VOTED THANKS TO THIS MAN SHERIDAN. q
He compared the great march of Sheridan's
down the Shenandoah valley to an ASSASSIN
WITH A DRAWN DAGGER.
Again he alluded to that great march of sheri-
dams down the valley and said
"lIE DISHONORED THE FLAG HE
MARCHED UNDER.
This was not enough; he further declared
that Major General Phil Sheridan STOLE CAT
TIE while on that march drove them to Penn
sylvania and there SOLD THEM AND PUT
THE MONEY IN HIS POCKET.
