M'. Editor The campaign Is waxing
warm in oil Sampson, end wo look for-

election, such as our friends abroad Will
be proud OF The canlieia:aa of the Con

Hloir friends cntiro satisfaction. nay, We
arc proud OF thoir ability nud integrity.
We have division III the Sheriil"s elcc-
tion, from Which Col. Dockery, the lnaEn-
moth Radical and DliSalicE General Of
Holdon'd militia, hopes to make a gain for
himself nnd his party IL old Sampson. -
| But the Drigadier was never as nlucia mis-
! taken in lis life. al the can1idate5 tor
| Sheriff arc and tlavC been Conservative ;
| they openly av0w it on tho stump practice
it in private, and although tho oownrdly
Radicals GRO en1cavoring by ina.diouz nt-
| tempts to divide tho Conservative party,
! yet they must and Will fail. The issue now
is land thoy can't dodge IT. "Ehau the
| bright bayoneb triumph over The rnsty
Constitution" This expression, if Original,
should immortaijzo my old and now dis
tressed friend, George w. perram, Of
JIarnet county. Cur Gommoner. James
Il. Maxwell, Esq, IS doing yeoman service
for the Conservative cause. Makes IL neat,
| short speech, q plain practical man of
good sense, bUt II working man, whose eli
forts will tell for tho canso.

| forts III the last Legislature, rnado Inc, us
q Sampson inau. feel proud O Linn IS oar
Representative. Although some slandcls
have been circulated against him ah3ut
measures brought up before the Ln"islg-
ture with which hc Lad nothing To 10,
and for which he was III no way reFI:on>,i-
bic, he meets them on the FtuGn> like an
honest man and placed himself beyond
the reach of the slnndcr. One Mr.. Weird,
Radical, brings the charge aoainrt him,
but the Doctor comes back on him and tie
Radical covers before the Doctors woil-
directed, ecvere, yet meritcd rebuko and
fiat contradiction. Like IN honest ana able
and fearless man he courts investigation,
and showed that tho charges are prompted
by misunderstanding of tho truth or by
malico. Ho is 3 good man, . worthy re-
preventative and an honor to his county
the Senate from Cumberland, is indeed
the right man in the right place. Modest
and unassuming, yet Chock full Of nerve
good sense and patriotism, he has made n
lasting impression upon tho people Of RCc1
old Sampson. With q look that 8ecIus to
say, 81 beg your pardon If I hurt your
feelings" he docs say some of the sharp
est things, mako moro home thrusis and
sting his opponents nearer to tho quick
than any man I have henri sncuk for q
long time. He aomora'jzod thn candidate
Ward SO much TINT really believe That he
(Ward) would be very glad To shake of
the ugly Porter and Geb his Radical friends
to vote for Troy and Ward. Long may
Troy wave, for he is q trump il n can2-
paign. With his modest air Io soys he is
not talking man, but q working man.
But here ho is wrong, and has no right
thus to deceive the people, for hi8 speeches
fatty contradict his modest assertion and
fully prove that he can not only work. b1t
that he can likewise talk and talk we'll
When wo elcct him (Which we will "a
surely do rs the August election colncs)
we feel that we will be as proud of him oa
our Senator as VIC ore low CT hlrl 0d our
candidate.
Weregret tnnt ourreepcctcd candidate for
Congress, Col Alfred II. WndGieii, could
not be with us while the Brigadier wo8 in
Sampson. Our people are pleased with
the nomination Cf Dol. NTaG6ell, ana bid
him God speed on his road TO Congress.
He will have the hearty support Of nil the
Conservatives OF Sampson, instead CT She
Brigadier. who tiottors himself that he
will gain by any dissensi0n among us. If
we have our private QuaCrolS, VIC can Rs-
sure the Brigadier that he can in no way
como between us. nor shall he profit by
them. The people Of Sampson have no
confidence in any man who Will seek TO
4o1c oil h
nent in his absence.
Col d. injured himself by attempting
to leave the impression that Dol. Waddoll
was in favor of qualified suffrage st this
time He was told fet-footed that
was not honest when he made the asser-
ton, and that he know differently. The
question was put 80 him as an honest man
'sDo You believe that Col. Waddell is in
favor of qualified suffrages. " He dodged
like demagogue; he failed 70 answer. BY
the bye, the Brigadier's looks and manner
on the stump impress one withthe thought
that he has the GOODNESS OF an IcelandeT,
the lungs OF donkey and the lmpudence
OF the Devil. Trained in al the arts Of &
demagoguo; schooled in deceit and polltl-
cal trickery with his bland manner, he can
well be said to be ''as mild L hammered
man as over scuttled q political ship or cut
O political throat" for with "faco formed
to conceal he can ''hide his bloodleEs
souls hardened scheming" as well as any
political trickster who now struts the stage
Of this corrupt Congressional theatre.
In Col. Waddell we have man to whom
we could point with pride as our represen-
tative, dignified and manly in bis bearing,
the gentleman in social converse or on the
hustings, we can appeal to the voters of
our land to come forward and once more
let this good old district have a fitting
representative. The brigadier was met in
Sampson by her SOD, Ool A. A. McKoy,
who congratulated himself that he had,
from the canvass of 1868, wrought upon
| the Brigadier until he now made tclera-
BILE Conservative speech. CoHABY.
