Friends and fellow.cIizens OF Richmond,
contemplate the ticket and consider its merits,
and 81, in your owl hearts whether you have
ever had better one. We have been long
separated with Richmond, watched its pro.
eeedings, and yearaed for its happiness and
welfare. No turn in its affiirs has taken
place for S:,y years that did not command
our close investigation and our deep solicit
tude.s Ard-welcan trHIy say, and we say u
with delight, that we never knew stronger
set of nominees offered to The people
OF Richmond. Now it is offered by that
Conservative party which has saved the State
and without whose authority and guardian
snip we must now fall into the very worst
consequences OF divisions, and feuds, anG
disorder, and bad government.
When We consider the good this party ha,
done we cannot fail to see that We should be
unsratefuly wicked were we, 10 resist its
counsels. : ~ jIi.f #ss

future power and ability to stipulate with
that part OF the country that has become our
ruler rs well as our oppressor. In the front
rank OF the army of practical workers Tor
the solid and substantial improvement of
the State stands BRADLEY 7. JOHNSON. We
mention bin especially because he has been
the especial object of attack. His essays on
the public debt are textbooks of political
economy as applicable to cur society in its
present embarrassing condition. The gep-
t!smen associated with him on the ticket for
the Senate are emiaently upon tile lire OF

The nominees Of tho Housesare headed by

CHARLES u. WILLIAMS, whose Initial puts
him las. in the list, is hy no means last in

business OF legislation, will soou fall into its

is an accomplished lawyer, a sharp aud daily
