CONDEMNATION CALLED FoR.-It has
been pretty we'll ascortained that over
300 white men in this County failed to
attend the polls in the 10th ult.. and that
like apathy i'll other Counties has
caused the defeat of Governor Perry,
our candidate for Congress. II this be
the case, and there is abundant proof to
substantiate it, we know of no language
strong enough with which to condemn
and denounce their course. How can
treemen ever expect to be treated as free
men when they ''lie supiuely on their
backs and hug the delusive phantom of

selves cant expect assistance from others.
And Just 80 long as largo number of
our white men seem content to remain
at home on election day, nnd fail to cast
their ballots on the side of right and
honesty. just so long will we continue to
be oppressed and misrepresented.
