money they can put into their own
pockets; not men wh) will always
be smelling around to sec how much
they can sell their votes for, without
caring cent how much harm they
arc doing us. We arc tired of sond.
ing such people there, and We don't
moan to vote for any more such.
We want at least ono good honest
and Intelligent white gentleman,
who we know will act honestly.

and Mt tho same time satisfy the
wishes of the honest and good white
people Of this county. Sl.h o man

you to DO very Intelligent and

you would scorn to do us one single
act of wrong or Injustice. We DO.
lieye that if you are elected YOU
would legislate fairly and Justly for
the good of all, without regard to
race or colo.
believing all this, and wishing to
act in spirit of friendship and har.
mony with our whito fellow. .citizous.

This radical worthy divides with
Moses the good will of the radical
party in his aspirations to become
Governor Of this State. Tho contest
eeems to be narrowing down between
them. Radical reform, therefore, is
e1emplified in these charactcrs.-
Moses is oonfessedly tho most notori-
ous villain in the world. Chamber
lain, beng moro ablo, moro crafty
and OF better moral character, has
suoceeded heretofore in partially
oloaking his misdceds, or shifting
them upon tho shoulders of others.
Ills connection in tho various swindles
which have reduced the State to beg
gary is, however, being clearly proven
in series of able editorials in the
News and Courier. His intimate
connection with tho land commission.
the sinking fund commission and the
financial board, three mammoth vchi.
clos Of robbery, is fully shown.
Chamberlain cannot deny tho viii
lainy prac.isod by these several
boards, but makes Il fceblo effort in
the Union.lIora.d (whosc editorials
smack of Chambcrlain's stylc), to
shirk responsibility by maintaining
that though the board, as q whole,
