Undermining the American
LabOrer.

The Radical party leaders
are in favor Of importing Chi
nose coolies for the purpose of
undermining the laborers on
the railroads and at the iron
furnaces in the llth Congress
sional and other districts, and
competing them to work at
starvation prices. The Radi-
cal Congress which adjourned
a few weeks ago was an enemy
to the poor laborer; and j. T.
Wilson attended to the interests
of the bondholders, the office
seekers, and the carpet baggers
and scallawags and let the
poor laborers take care of
themselves. Wilson does not
represent the poor men of this
district. Vote him out ! Vote
for Ralph Leete, who is op.
posed to Chinese immigration
and will attend to the interests
of the laborers of this district.

Our Candidate for Congress.

For want of space in this
weeks paper, we are compelled
to omit for this week the pro-
ceedH gs Of tie Congressional
Convention held at Portsmouth
last Wednesday.
We are pleased to say that
the Convention could not have
selected one more competent
and worthy than Hon. Ralph
Leete of Lawrence county. Mr..
Leete hardly needs an intro
dnction to the people Of this
Congressional district, because
he is so well aud f;,vlrably
known; so well known that
even his political opponents are
compelled to honorand respect
him for bis many noble and
sterling qualities Of head and
heart. Residing with u great
majority of the laborirg men
Of this district, no man can be
named who is more thororg ghly
acquainted with the wants ard
necessities of this class Of men
than Mr.. Leete. His ability
and integrity arc conceded by
all, and being clear and log
ical speaker, he will honestly
and faithfully represent, if elec-
ted, the wishes Of all classes -
the poor as well as the rich
in the district, as the represer =
tative Of the Eleventh District.

Our County Ticket.

NeN
From all parts Of the county
we learn that the action of the
Democratic County Conven-
ton, held on last Monday week,
in the choice Of its nominees,
has been universally indorsed
by the people, and we do not
think better nominations could
have been made.
Daniel Booth was re enomi.
mated by acclamation for the
office of Sheriff, which was a
well deserve compliment to a
most faithful and efficient pub.
lie servant. Everybody is well
pleased with him because he is
one of the best Sherifs in the
State-even the opposite party
have not yet found the least
fault with him. In fact, Dan,
is a good man upon general
principles; is capable as well
as reliable ; and Of course he
will not only receive the ap-
proval Of all good men but a
large majority Of the votes Of
the people Of the county.
Nelson Richmond is the
nominee for Treasurer Of the
County-the most important
Office. Is there a voter i'll Vim.
ton county who does not know
Nelson Richmond ? He'Shas
lived here all his life-and we,
among hundreds Of others, have
known him "from as far back
as we can remember" Being a
business man, he is 50 we'll known
throughout Vinton county, that
it is hardly necessary for us to
say that his qualifications are
the best and that he will please
the people in every respect and
discharge the duties of that Of
flee to the entire satisfaction of
all.
For County Commissioner
Patrick Kelly, one of Wilkes.
vile Townships farmers, was
selected, We know that no
better man could have been
named for that most important
Office in the county to the peo-
pie. He has filed the Office
about ten months, having been
appointed to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the resignation
of Hon. Almond Soule, and we
know that, beings man Of good
judgment, he is man worthy |
Of the support Of the voters Of
all parties.
For County Surveyor, Nc,
Donnald Lottridge, is the nom
iuee. He is q most deserv-
ing young man, and would
make a good Surveyor. Nc
will be sure to please every
body in running lines and
drawing maps.
And for Coroner, DR.. John
c. Bishop, received the nomi-
nation. He is one of the active
business men of Wllkesville
and, being a physician, is just
the man to be elected to the
Office of Coroner. He is an
honest and worthy young man,
and the opposition can not find
the least fault with him.
Democrats and honest Re-
publicans of Vinton county
the above is your County Tick.

GUS support. Let every man
consider himselfa committee OF
one, and work from now until
the polls close on the evening
of the 18th of October to Sc
cure its success. The fact that
its election is certain does not
absolve any one from labor IN
its behalf. Ordinarily, it might
be allowed to lull into inditfer
ence; but these are not ordl
nary times. The merchant and
the business man will tell you
that they are inconceivabIy dull
times The farmer and the
laborer and the mechanic, all
feel them to be such. Go where
you will-from the unpreten'
tious festival, the receipts OF
which are to be devoted to
some church, to the mammoth
manufactory Of the east-from
the smallest shop, where they
sell pins and tape in the small,
to the palatial dry goods estab,
lishment in New York-"dull
tines is the cry. Money is
scarce and taxation is high
The question is whether steps
shall be taken to change these
hard to more prosperous times.
The candidates nominated by
the Democracy of this county
on the 22d inst, are the repre-
sentatives of policy that con-
templates the betterment Of the
condition of the country and
the conducting Of our county
affairs by White men.
Now, every effort that is
made to weaken any of these
candidates before the people,
inevitably tends to divert at
tention from the main issue be,

and through such diversion
the cause Of Bond ocracy and
Negro ocracy will be strength.

Let there he no misunder-
standing touching this matter.
Lukewarmness will not do.
"IIe that isnot for NE, is against
me-" is what the Supreme Be-
ing says to mankind; ; and the
same saying is alike pertinent
in politics. Those who are
not for the ticket nominated,
representing certain political
ideas, are against those ideas.
"He that is neither warm nor
cold [ will spew out of my
mouth" saith He through
whom alone is Eternal life to
those who would be recognized
as His followers; and that
"Faith without works is dead"
No more true is this in sacred
things than in worldly and in
political things. A mans faith
amounts to nothing, unless he
put forth that active work cal.
cnlated to carry out that faith,
Hence, if we believe that Ger.
tain political ideas are right
that they are more likely to
contribute to the well-being Of
our people than the conflicting
ideas-we are criminally re-
miss in our duty as good citi-
zens and worthy members of a
community if we do not, to the
extent Of our ability, do what
we can to assist the election Of
men who have been fairly nom.
mated as the representatives of
those views the supremacy of
which we hold essential to the
political salvation of the coun.
try.

This Committee should see
to it that there is an organlza-
ton in every school district III
the county. 1t is not too early
to begin to organize at once
The work should be commence

ergy and vigor until the close
Of the polls on the second Tues

must be the first and last effort

than simply calling the Democ'

ings, appointing committees,

necessary, but to be efficient IL
great deal more must be done.
Every voter must be fully III.
formed and posted as to the
issues involved in the contest
between Democracy and Rad
icalism. The whole matter Of
difference between the two
parties should be laid before
the people. The contest must
be one Of facts and figures, and
the Democracy need not shrink
from them but rather court
them rs conclusive evidence
against the principles, policy
and measures Of the Radical
party. Armed with these,
Democrats can charge home
upon that party sins Of omis-
sion and commission, its disre.
gard of the rights Of the people
and its pledges to the country,
the violation Of the ConStitu.
ton, the overthrow OF States
rights, the betrayal Of white
supremacy, the filchings, swind
Iings and general corruptions
in every Department Of Coy
ernment ; and the proAigate eX-
penditure Of the peoples money
are but a part Of the record of
the infamy and miSrule of the
Radical party. Then let every
Democrat understand that no
organization is perfected until
every voter in his neighbor-
hood is correctly informed up
on all the important political
questions, and make to under
stand the cause of present tax
alton and oppression and the
still greater evils that are sure
to follow a continuance Of Rad
