A CARD.

Editor Herald:
/ understand that certain individuals arc re-
porting that ] have left the Democratic party.
am satisfied that no true Democrat will be-
lieve the report But in order to do myself JUS
tice, and to place myself in proper light before
the people Of jackson county, l wish to say that
do not consider Mr.. Levi DUNCAN, and few
others who how nt his bidding, the entire DEM
ocratc party Of this county and If choose to
withdraw from little insignificant clan of sell
fish partizans, whose only aim is self-agkrand-
izement, no true Democrat will suppose because
have thu done, that have withdrawn from
or left the party was born and raised Dem-
ocrat, and in that faith have lived, and in that
faith expect TO die and although opponents
may persecute, and friends forsake and join with
enemics in their curses and falsehoods 1t does
not lessen my faith in the true principles OF
Democracy.
In the darkest hours lifted my voice, and ad-
vocated these principles. l have not ceased to
raise my voice against the heresies and so-caled
policies of these latter days. / know all true,
honest Democrats endorse and approve my pO-
litical record There fore fear not the calumny
and falsehoods of jca lous minded men, whose
INTEL cCts have become sordid with trenchery,
hyp ocrisy and deception. Their efforts against
me will prove abortNe. expect to remain in
the Democratic party. No blatant, gef-coneeit-
ed dem goeue has the power to turn me out, or
cause me to deyiate from the true principles of
Democracy rs taught by Jefferson and his fol-
lowers. ! propose TO stay in the Democratic
party, and fight for pri nciplc-fght against de-
ception, trcochcry and hypocrisy, wherever
find 1t, until corrupt rings are broken, and croak-
ing demOgogues are compelled 10 hide their
faces in shame.

cratic party as those who claim to have thrown

tend to wage an incessant war against the little
ring formed in this town for the purpose of elc-,
vatng themselves to power and position by
trcachery, impertinence and fraud. This ring
has greatly injured the party in the past--it has
driven from our ranks some of our best men, or
laid them on the shelf, so that they have ceased
to be efficient workers.
Letno person suppose intend to leave the
party because / oppose certain persons whose
acts are well calculated to produce discord, and
destroy the peace and harmony of the party in,
this county. My motives are pure, and seek
to purify the party by breaking up this little
corrupt ring, headed by Levi DUNCAN.

The above article was presented to the editor
Of the Herald and notwithstanding the paper
owes It's existence to my efforts In the cause of
d cmocracy, ] was refused the right to defend
myself against the malignant falsehoods put in
circulation by those who seek my overthrow.
hope the Stockholders of the press will immc-
diately inquire into the bogus sale of said press.
l am now well Satisfied that the sale of the
press was made, not for the benefit of the Stock
holders or the Democracy but for the purpose
of having the press under the control of tho
DUNCAN ring.
This was why Mr.. Maott, a gentleman and
scholar, was cursed and disposed of, and the
present young gentleman assigned the position
of editor. When the welfare Of the Democratic
party depends upon such w-1edged monoidead
s self-conceited asprants without principle, con-
troled by sclEinterest, honest men feel ashan-
ed, and the party must and will suffer. Achango
Is needed and must made I.T.M.
