petty partisan lnanepver, no matter
how contemplate in itself, is eagerly !
seized by these Radical gentry, and 4
exposed in their triekery, they swell
out, like the frog in the fable, until tbs
bust which naturally follows, covers
them with the 9Th they bad gathered
for others.
Let it bo remembered by the Demo.
Gratis Of this State, that our enemies
are tho same as Of old. While We
hare made the most liberal advances
towards all, they still retain, with all
the for1or Of malignant natures, the
hatred they manifested in years gone
by. 1t would not DO TO profess before
the people the doctrines they enuuciats
here; for that would ensure their s.er.
nal oblivion but by Irickery, fraud,
aud the yilsst devices of dsbAsed minds,
they seek to deceive the people, to
svade the truth, aud to build up party
capital by the use Of falsehoods, deoGp-
ton and misrepresentation. But !

upon these gentlemen. We must judge
Of the future BY the past; aud hun

Our delegates III the Legislature arc
among the leaders in the body. Sen.

he is placed upon the most important
committees, ho is 40 earnest and
Watchful guardian Of tho public treasu-

unimpror0i, whereby the interests Of
the people may be advanced. With
pride the people Of Lewis may say that
their Senator is the leading man Of his
houre. Ills former position and expo
rieucs in the Old Dominion, aud his
recognized ability, place him in the
front rank and he is looked upon, as
said before, as tho leading man in
the State Senate. Whenever Demsc.
