The Campaign.

w. sha,, not be able to be heard by many
of oar country readers again before elect'on'
.day. Let ne, then, for the last time mos.
earnestly exbort them all to give all theT ala
and every power of mind and heart 10 10.

hopes arc wrapped up in that. Gooo gov.

party now seeking TO get control OF IL.
Dreadful as it is 10 have the Federal Go
yernment under the domination OF party
without heart. devo!ing all the powers OF
soycrumen; TO the prolongation OF Its own
power. definitely worse would it be to sub
RAFT this ancient Commonwealth to the 60
vernment of the same party. From such a
fate we have rescued it. AS we hope for SAL
walton let us struggle to keep it rescued oY
preserving our union and harmony IN the
&, congressional elections ard excluding all
discord and controversy that might extend
into future elections, divide our ranks, scat
ter our forces, and give victory to our
loathed adycrSarics.
But let us not forget the overwhelming
importance of the congressional elections.
Our brothers OF the broad land we 1--we IN
are moving every power they command to
rrscue the National Government from The
Marty OF saiyrs that now ds,racts the land
and is lowering the Governments so as fear
fully to reduce the gap in this country be-
tween savage and civil lie. We behold
that ierocious greed and scliishness that
seem 10 menace the nation and grin and
snash their teeth from every door and hal
Of the capitol. Every policy and measure
Of government shows the wolf and tiger
the greed OF gain, the love of blood. Ano
The whole nation is plunged into unccr
E;an.y, anxiety, and misery that the met
who make laws and shape our destiny may
0 !org continue TO fatten upon the woes Of the
people.
The chief instr ument, indeed, with which
these unieeling and sordid statesmen worl
is The scheme Of eleyating the barbarouS ne
sro over the " hite man. AS if the tendency
Of all their measures towards disruption aDC
larbarism wanted proof direct Of theil
purpose to sacrifice civil liberty to their cor
lnorant appetites, they take the innocent
African and. elevatiug bin above their OVID
race, 20 through the hypocrl'ical forms OF
idolizing him.
How long shall these things last? Our
brothers Of other States seem TO cry out in
response LET us end them now. Let us
"s,ve the nation from the bands of the de-
"sroyers. Letus redeem the Government
from them, and letNs, by our devotion to
liberty and civilization, and by our laws
"tor the protection of both, present to the
" world a nation which for public virtue,
{" dignity, and force shall have no equal on
"earth."
What say you, Nirginians? Shall We not
all 90 as one man 10 the polls and win for
Virginia in this struggle between balbarism
and civilization victory worthy of her an
cient renown, and that shall cheer our bro
theirs on to redoubled energies in the great
cause of the whole nation:
