Think Of It.

If you vote for Boyd in preference to
Livingston, you will be sustaining man
who makes a political race for a position
that never should be jostled about by par e.
ty divisions Boyd is running on the
radical strength Of the District and this
very act should cause all careful and
thoughtful men to turn from him as they
would from one who prostitutes one posi-
ton in order to attain another.
If you vote for Boyd on the 9th of
next month you will sustain ineompetency
and discountenance Acknowledged ability
and competency.
If you vote Tor Boyd you will vote for
q man who is not acceptable to the law
yers Of the District
If you vote for Boyd you will vote for
a man who is sustained by the ignorat
advocates Of the civil rights bill
Ifyou vote for Boyd you vote to irfict
upon this Chancery Division hardship
which will endure for years to come.
Think of these things, and act aeeor-
dinghy. Vote for Livingston and get
your neighbor to do the same.

Be Ready to Discharge Your Duty

On the 18Th day of August next the
people Of Hardeman county are expect
ed to send their delegates from each
civil district to Bolivar, where they will
meet in convention to transact very i'm
portant and pressing business.
The first duty to be d 'scharged is the
important one of the people of each civil
district in selecting delegates, which
should be done at the polls on the 9th
election day-or on the second Saturday
10 August, which is the 8th day of the
month.
The next duty is for the delegates to
assemble at the court house in Bolivar
on the 10Th of August, and after organ
iziDg the convention, then the next i'm
portant step is TO appoint delegates to
repI esent Hardenan county in the State
convention which is called to meet in
Nashville on the 10Th of August for the
purpose of nominating a candidate for
Governor.
The next duty win DO that of appoint
ing delegates to 90 to Jackson on the
fret Tuesday in September and assist in
che selection Of suitable candidate to
represent Madison and Hardeman i n The
State Senate. At the same time and
place candidate for FIoater to represent
Haywood, Madison, Hardeman and
Crockett in our Legislature is also to be
chosen.
These various duties discharged, then
our county convention should nominate q
man to represent Hardeman in the Lower
House of the next Legislature; and, also,
at the same time, elect an Executive Com
mittee for the county, who shall serve as
such for two years, or until their sue
oessors are appointed ia q similar way.
Here, then, in this small compass, we
have laid before the readers of the BCL'
LETIN their legitimate business and
bOunden duty. Certainly they will not
be found wanting when The hour for ae>
ton arrives. Remember that the eolCr>
I'd party CT our immediate districts must
be met in a spirit Of frmness and deter
mination. We must defeat them ard
their chosen white leaders or they will
beat US. No twisting or Bringing is ad-
inissible now. We must stand upon the
color line and there is no way to evade
it. They have forced the issue let the
white people meet it fenrlessIy and to
the very letter.
Again we call upon the taxpayers OF
this county to bury likes and disIikes for
shis one time at least, aud let US all work
for the common good, and let them see
that the convention on the 18th of August
ia as full as the pressing necessities Of
the day and hour demand
There ia not a neighborhocd in the en-
tire county but what should have voice
IN the convention, and we urge upon
them to send in their delegates.

Voting Figures.

The election Of Chancellor is leading
topic with our people at this time, and
we'll it may be, when We consider the
fact that one Of the aspirants for the posts
ton is eninently fitted for the ofIic-
while the other is not-one a radical and
the ether conservative. Below we give
the actual strength of the two races in
the Division as shown by the census re-
ports Of 1871, together with the vote for
Governor in 1872 The reader will bear
in mind that Freeman, the radical can
didats for Governor was a strong man
with his irty, while his opponent did
not command the strength of the conser-
INTERCHANGEABLE element-hence the
majority for Freeman:

We Nay and We May Hot.

Hardeman county may not have a can
didate for Congress, but she has within
her borders several gentlemen who
would make q gallant and successful
fight if once put upon the track by the
convention on the 8th of September
One Of these gentlemen, Colo mel II. T.
Polk, has already been favorably spoken
Of by the appeal and its numerous cor
respondents from various sections of the
district We are certain that the Colonel
is not candidate Tor the position, but
this does not argue that he may not be
brought forward by his friends In such
an event he would develope much
strength, and, if nominated, would carry
the banner as high as any gentleman in
the district Judge James Fentress and
Captain r. Ii. Wood, and the Hoa.
Joseph L. Rosson, that cid servant, faiths
ful and true, are still in the land of the
living, and carry with them the kiudest
consideration of thousands of good citizens
who delight to see the Office seek the man
and not the man the Office, and they may
be heard from in most telling manner.
As we have said before, we have no axes to
grind, and are disposed to let the conven-
tion do It's work, but still We claim the
right to make mention of come of our
available men while the question is an
open one. The names Of Hon. J. L Ros
son, Captain Il. II Wood, Jundge james
Fentress and Colonel NJ 7. Polk OF
Hardeman county could be brought for
ward in q great conservative convention
at any time with credit to our county and
satisfaction to thousands.

EpIthets.

Some Of our friends who vote the Re>
publican ticket object to the use Of terms
employed By the BULLETIN in designating
the radical party. We disclaIm any in
tention Of personal ofFense, nor do we
have any particular fondness for the use
Of offensive epithets. We have only to
deal with the radicals as q party, and if
in the discharge of our duty in exposing
to our readers their corrupt Legislation
and their usurpatiOns, we sometimes
bring into requisition terms that are
more forcible than elegant, we do Sc from
a belief that the language used is only
commensurate with the acts of the radi>
GALS, as a party, which we feel it our
duty to expose.
If some of cur friends, who are honest
in their political convictions, have here
tofore voted with the radicals, we have
no personal reproach for them, and can
only say to them that they are unfortu-
nate in their party affiliations, and now
that the radical party is the pronounced
social equality party, they ought, in JUS
tice to themselves, take leave of it, if they
do not endorse such measures as the
civil rights bill. We have called them
usurpers. Ne point to Louisiana in
justification of our assertion. They were
fairly and squarelY beaten at the polls by
the real people of Louisiana, and yet
Kellogg and his followers positively re-
fuse to yield to the wiehes of a majority,
and in this action they have been backed
up by federal bayonets under the direc-
ton Of radical administ' alton. OF
course they are usurpers. We have
drawn it mild in saying that they are
plunderers. Have they not plundered
| the magnificent State Of South Carolina,
and delivered it over to the negroes and
carpet baggers, and yet when those who
are suffering at the hands of those fell
lows complain to a radical president, he
even refuses to give them a respectful
hearing? They are plunderers indeed.
We have styled them the negro equality
party. The civil rights bill is a radical
measure, endorsed only by radicals and
its provisions ara hated of all men, who
believe in the superiority of the white
race and who are not trying to climb into
Office by the help of negroe voters. Read ii
carefully, and see if its provisions do no.
tend to force negro equality.
In conclusion, if any man persists in
voting the radical ticket, when he knows
that our assertions in regard to the party
cannot be controverted, be must not take
exceptions to our use of terms Until
the radicals become little less corrupt
in their party schemes, we shall not prom,
Use to be very choice in our language
when discussing their acts.
