An impression seems to prevail with su

|
old political mouutebanks are SO supehed by
preiudc. that they cannot realize the fact that
the world moves, aud so blinded by their nusy
distractions hat they can read nothing but the
resolutions of '9S. But one who will take an
| impartial survey of the impoverished condition
of the people of Virg inia, and Knows thas this
ruin has been brought upon them by the old
democratic politicians, feels confident that the
State can be reckoned upon for Hayes and
Wheeler. 10 1872 Gen. Grant carried the
State, and all VIII voted for Grant then will
vote for Hayes 10 November. Besides we know
positively ola large number OF Greeley men
WHO will support the Cncionati nominees 1t
! IS true. 10 1873 kenper was elected Governor
by large In aiorty, but if the same men we're
before the people to-day for the same Office the
majority would b, reversed. Many of the
leading Grant men actively supported kemper.
5! La fact his majority is mainly due to Col.
Mosby's it Aueoce. Co.. Mosby's object Was
to destroy S: ctooaI partisanehip; to obliterate
the bitter memories of the past; 10 bridge the
bloody chasm" and place Virginia 10 a favor

terms with the National Administration.
Kemper started right, but he bad not been 10
; &c Ioug before the old Bourbons took him 10
charge, and the noble mission of Col. Mosby was
defeated and the people deceived by kenper.
| We canuot b.licve they will be duped any
longer by such men. The maladministration
OF the State government by the so called con.
servatlve democratic parry. the heavy burdens
of taxation imposed upon the people, the In
tolerant and proscrptivs spirit pursued BY the
50 called conservatives towards all who differ
with them the bitter and vindictlve sectional
ism Of the Virginia dem ocracy, will nerve all
t!u: friends Of the Uniou, Of peace and pros
perity, By every consideration of duty to repu
! diate this destructive democratic party. The
ST. Louis II, ket fails to create en' huslasm even
among the CROSSROADS spouters Of this section.
The curbsione politicians hang their heads, but
the old democratic public crib hunters buster
and brag about their lmagi oary majority. They
begin to figure out liden's Cabinet. We
would sugges. to them not 10 overlook the
claims OF Tweed. By all means he should be
Tildeu's Secretary of the Treasury There is
class of people 10 this region who believe in
luck. They say another New York mau for
President means defeat" New York and

1868, Greeley aud B:owo in 1872. ADD Tildeu
/ and the ST. Louis convention in 1876" The
people OF Virginia have been deceived too of,
teu by dem lgogues ADD old democratic party
lricksters aod trimmers. Tllden aud Hendricks
are Of that class. In such man as Governor
Hayes the people have confidence. He has the
training, experience, ability, integrity and high
moral character which eminenty fit him 10
adorn he executive chair of the nation. The
Old Line W higs will rally to his support.
