DEMOCNA'NS, RGAD.

To-day an. earnest appeal is made to
you to stand firm to the principles which
inspired our patriotic fathers The issue
for you to determine is, whether this Re-
public shall remain government for
white men, or whether it will be trans.
mitted 10 posterity as government Of
negro supremacy. As you render your
verdict on the 4th Thursday in this month
so it will goin.o history. Can it be said
of you tina. you will prostitute yourselves
and entail upon your own race the infa-
mics that tie Republican party have
been seeking to force upon you? Il only
remains for you to stand firm to your
principles and yoar party, and show by
your ballots tia. you do not endorse their
dogu,as of prescription aud class l.gisla-
ton. That as the God Of nature has Gre
'ated the races dis.inc. and unequal. that
ii is not your intention to change Hi,
DEGREES. Come up then to the polls in
solid phalnnr aud cast your ballots for the
White Mans Party, and let your ma
-jority be an overwhelming one. such q ono
as will strike terror to the hearts of those
who have been trying to deceive you ;
such an one as viii chill the life blood as
.iteourses through their veins, and leach
them that tho '",oiOc Of the people is the
voice Of God"

Of Randolph, Tucker, Barbour, Ubsbur,,

c. Carper, Esq, of Buckhannon, - is our
Democratic candidate for the 1Stzte SEN
ate. His authorized announcement the
result OF a call upon his patriotismcfrom
all parts ofthe district, and is, as we'll the
expression Of preference for him, as it is
indicative. of deep and.warm enthusia SIN
which give US the strongest assurance Of
success in the contest in which we are
embarked. ,Mr. Carper has been Dem

fail to confirm him in his early impress.
