and his tlisting,,ished services IN the fleld l1

and his distinguished services In the field,
even without bis large experience rs civil
| ian, would entltle him to our enthusiastic up-
port for the highest office In the State. How
greatly will his Legislative experience, bis
lmpassioned oratory, his skill as q lawyer,
his pure and incorruptible character, his
modest, dignified, and gentle:nanly bearing,
bis thorough acquaintance with political
science and just claims to craftsmanship,
add to his popularity? What decent, think
ing man can hesitate between him and
Hughes the renegade?
Colonel Robert E. Withers, like General
hemper, has war record of which any
man might justly be proud; but his unset
fish and patriotic devotion to duty overcom-
| ing all false pride and personal ambition,
and looking only to the good of our grand
old Common wealth, touches q sympathetic
chord in every manly heart, and elevates
him to the proud prominence of one who
lets all the ends he aims Mt be his country's,
bis Gods, and truths" And who is the
opponent Of this noble, self-sacrificing Vir-
ginian? Why, G. P. Ramsdell, capet-bag-
ger, put forward by his brother carpet-bag-
gers, negroes, and renegadesl
Hon. Raleigh L. Daniel is not military
man, but he is worthy associate of Kemper
and Withers, and is prominently fitted by
his scholarly attainments, his acknowledged
learning and ability as u lawyer, and his
splendid oratory, for the position to which
he has been nominated. How incomparably
superior to his opponent-Canby''s Judge

FeIlow-citizens of Halifax! the ticket is

Our TICKET--kEMPER, WITHERS, AND
DASIEL.-[Danvi1e Register. Jour Conven-
ton has done its work nobly, and has pre-.
sented to the people splendid trio of names
for their suppert---All anxiety. felt before
the assembling of that body that danger
might grow out of discord and division, and
| chat undue and unworthy influences might
operate in framing the ticket, was happily
set at rest BY the harmony and wisdom Of
itsaCtion. - -.--.'-
| Many influential citizens pressed Colonel
Withers for the first place on the ticket, and
no one thought of his being called to the
second position. Least Of all did he expect
it himself, and would have declined but for
the urgent solicitation Of the Convention and
| the earnest appeal of personal friends. There
| had been friendly rivalry between the sup.
porters of kelnper and those Of -WitherS
and while the latter might have felt some
disappointment at their failure to secure the
subcrnatorial nomination, they must have
| been more than appe2sed at the manner ii
which the compliment Of the second Place
ON the tickct was rendered their favorite.
General Eemper is a man every way
worthy of the distinguished honor whicl
has been done him. His public career FOL
which we give asketch clSewhcre) is with
out blemisll, and does him great credit. Ht
has Won distinction both as Il soldier and &
statesman. In his private relations he i:
equally without blame. When lie goes ina
the Executive mansion, as he will do on the
1st OF january next, he will prove an able
honest, and upright Governor, devoted
solely TO the interests of the people and The
glory Of his native State.
With the public services of Colonel With
ers our readers are familiar. The Hon. II
L. Daniel, the nominee for Acknowledgement
has so long enjoyed a State reputation, both
Is legislator and Il lawyer, that he is recog'
nzed on all hands as the right man in the
right place His arduous and effective ser
vices for the past four years as chairman O.
| the State Executive Committee give him ;
peculiar hold upon the party.
1t is unnecessary to eulogiZe the dis
| lin.uiShei gentlemen who lead our party il
this contest. Their own actions and theil
| own exalted characters speak louder for then
than words can do, and most strongly com
mende them TO the support Of the people
The State will honor herself in honOrnG
these her worthy sons. 1t has been titIl
| said that tranSp0Se the names as you may
and you will yet have good ticket. Either
gentleman is able and tit to fill the highcS
office within the gift Of the people will
honor to himsefand the Commonwealth.
| And with what sort of material do our ad
yersaries oppose this uneXceptionable ticket
With such men as Hughes, Ramsdell, anC
Fultz! With Hughes, the renegade Seccs
sionist and lirc-eater, now ultra Radical, who
has tried with all his might, ever since the sur
render OF Lee, to turn the State over TO the
dominion Of the piunderers, and to humil
ate our people by African rule; Ramsdell, 4
| carpet-bagger from Pennsylvania, and FultZ
a lawyer, who, for his Willingness to Swal
low the iron-clad oath, was appointed {
military judge. We would not stop to draw
a comparison between the two tickets. Let
lis sec to it that the Conservative majority
shall be so crushing in the ensuing election
that RadicaIisln will not again raise its hor
rid front within our borders.
