Patriotic Sentiments and Wise Counsel

Patriotic Sentiments and Wise Counsel.
In response to an invitation from Commit
tee to address political meeting at barbecue
to be held, at the Camp Ground 10 Buffalo
Township in Rockbridge county, on the 31st
inst, Hon. Sam'l Mcdowell Moore, in accept
ing the invitation, wrote an excellent letter
brimful Of patriotic sentiments and wise coun-
sci, from which we make the following extract:
I am rejoiced to find that you are fully aware
of the Importance OF the contest which is to be
decided at the polls on the 4th day Of Novem-
Der next, whilst many Of our people appear un-
conscious of the terrible evils to result from the
success of the Radicals in the approaching cleo
tion To such would say You must awake,
arise, Or be forever fallen. And | would re-
peat to them the language Of a great writer, ut
tered il the darkest hours OF the Revolution
"Ihese are times to try mems souls; the sun
shine patriot and summer soldier shrink back
in the hour of danger, but he who stands it now,
deserves the thanks Of men and women" And
the man who fails to vote now will deserve the
scorn and contempt of men and women.
The question to be decided by the result of
this election is simply this; Shall the govern
ment Of this State remain in the hands of IN
teligent white men, or be transferred to a crew
Of unprincipled renegades and Ignorant negroes.
For myself [ am willing to devote the rem
pant of my days to save the State from degra-
dation and disgrace and I would entreat every
honest and every decent man to come forward
and vote the Conservative ticket on the 4th of
November next. Aud [ must say to my coun-
trymen, that in my opinion the white man who
fails. under existing circumstances to cast his
vote. will deserve TO be stigmatized as having
neither the moral courage nor the patriotism to
discharge bis duty to his country"

Col. Hughes was authorized to arrange for

Now, if that was not challenge, there is 30
such thing as a challenge, and if, as seems full
Iy proven, MIR. Hughes knowingly delivered
such document, he is disqualified from hold

Address of Hon. A. H.H. Stuart.

On Wednesday night last, Assembly Hall in
Richmond was filed to OVERLOOKING by the best
and most intelligent citizens of that city to hear
the very able, maturely considered and care
fully prepared address of Mr.. Stuart, in which
he discussed at length. with marked ability,
the questions connected with the presence Of
the negro population in the Southern States,
and clearly, methodically and forcibly express
ed his views of the most practicable solution of
the difficulties which attend it, The ADDRESSES
necessarily long, as it embraces in its compre-
pensive scope the discussion Of many important
questions bearing upon and connected with the
main proposition which he aims to demonstrate
the policy of separating the white and black
races in this country by the colonization of the
latter in the island of San Domingo 1t gives
the history of the introduction of that race as
slaves into this country and shows where the
responsibility for slavery rests, and that none
attaches to Virginia, as she, from the begin
ming, was opposed to it. 1t maintains that the
instructive prejudice of race establishes that the
creator of both designed that they should be
separate and so remain-that separation is bet
ter for both races, and that they should occupy
different countries adapted to their natures. 1t
contains extracts from the speeches Of distin-
guished men Of the Republican party as well as
the expressions Of the opinions of Jefferson,
Clay, Webster and Others showing that they
entertained the same views upon this subject.
We do not propose to give summary OF It's
contents, as we intend TO give our readers the
benefit of the address itself. We know that
they would like to read it, and we will give
them the opportunity in our next issue, to do
SO. Though it is lengthy-occupying ten col
umns Of the Eaquirer-yet we will publish it
in full, and hope that It's length.will not deter
any one from giving it careful and thought
full perusal. 1t is an address that is destined
to make an impression upon the public mind.

IF ANY WISH TO BEAR A GRIEVOUS
INCREASE OF TAXATION, LET THEM
VOTE FOR THE RADICAL TICKET.

Radical Conelstency-Hughe a Duelist.
The Radical party Of this State, while they
had the power, by virtue Of federal bayonets
and the disfranchisement Of large portion of
the best citizens of the State, incorporated in
to the Constitution the provision which renders
ineligible to Office any citizen of the State who
offers, accepts or conveys challenge to fight a
duel, and yet they nominated as the candidate
of their party for the first Office in the State, if
not the only man Of prominence in their party
who is duelist, certainly the one who is more
notorious as such than any other They knew
that Hughes was duelist that he had not on
ly fought, but shot, his adversary in duel, yet
they nominated him for Governor.
o, Consistency, what jewel thou art
Q, Shame, O. Radicalism, where is thy blush
Hughes not only fought a duel before the
Constitution was adopted, but has been impli-
Gated In one since. In the Clarkson- Fowler
difficulty, in which the former challenged the
latter, Hughes was the friend or second of
Clarkson. The fact that the duel was not
fought was not due to any agency of Hughes's,
and, consequently, does not relieve him of the
culpability of violating the constitution, or Of
the penalty Of ineligibility attached by the con-
stitution to his offence
If elected-of which there is bat little dan
ger-he could not act as Governor, constitution
ally, for the Constitution declares him to be In
eligible.
GO TO THE ELECTION NEXT TUES
DAY AND Do YOUR DUTY TO YOUR
STATE BY VOTING THE CONSERVA-
TIVE TICKET.
The Enquirer says, that ''the enthusiasm Of
the Conservatives is noted everywhere The
party is in the highest spirits. The canvass has
been active, searching, and successful, and il
will go on as it has gone, as it is going, until
the day of election. But it will all amount to
nothing, unless all our voters vote. The only
hope of the Radicals is ip a possible failure Of
the Conservatives to have out their whole
strength at the polls. Their party will be there
in all its power. And on our side there must
not be sluggard or stragger next Tuesday.
Every man OF our party must be at bis post at
the polls with his ballot in his hand to do bis
duty to himself, to bis State, and to his race. -
