Editors OF the Register:
1t is really amusing to see how indig-

laughs to scorn the petty falsehoods Of

through desire or from lack of proper
cultivation. Almost the entire purport
of nav last communication was either mis-
understood or knowingly misrepresented
by the girlish, spiteful correspondent OF
the Intell,gencer. Now l meant not q

NV dear Nellie has been listening to
the big injun speeches of the renowned
Spotted Tail of the Hayes club until her
mind has become a perfect garden spot
for the cultivation OF wild, foolish and
nonsensical tales about the greatest states
man of the age. Oh! how mad Uncle
Sam will be when he reads her letter.
He can stand such things from the
Harpers Weekly New York Tribune
and other such small fry, but then to
read it in the InteLligencer, over the sig.

clear down into the bottom OF his boots.
The Repu olicsns, mortified over their
last effort. are going TO try to redeem
themselves by having grand ratiiica-
tion rally at. this point next Friday night.
They have been making preparations for
the past three weeks; have about 4O trans
parencies, 400 torches and other things
in proportion. If the meeting docs not
turn out to be something grand we will
all be disappointed, for expectation has
been raised to the highest pitch. After
that effort is over the Democrats propose
to show what they are able to dc in that
line.
Some of our enterprising young men
are about to start campaign paper under
the name of the Reform Banner.
The Democratic Convention held here
on last Saturday night was quite sue
cess. During the absence OF the Com
mittee David II. Lilly made an eloquent
address, which was we'll received by hls
large audience. His anecdotes were all ap'
propriate, but one especially was capital
hit. He compared the Republican party
to quack doctor who had been called in
to see a mans wife afflicted with the hys-
terics. After a critical examination OF
the patient, he informed the fond hus-
band that il he would allow him 10 throw
her into fits he would cure her, as he WAS
not much on Mysteries but he was HI
on fits. So, said Mr.. Lilly, the Republi,
can party are trying TO turn everything
into rebellion, in that they are not much
on reform, but HI on rebellion.
The delegation chosen to the Congrcs-
sional Convention are solid for Martin
If he should receive the nomination for
Congress, this county will give two hun
dred Democratic majority; otherwise, the
contest will be doubtful. Martins nomi-
nation is due TO Tucker, Randolph,
Barbour and Taylor, all Democratic coun'
ties. which have not as yet received re-
cognition at the hands of the Democratic
party. They are tired of being hewer'
of wood and drawers OF water for other
sections of the state and therefore de-
mapd the nomination of Martin as spropel
reward for their fidelity to the party
Our forces are rapidly closing up
but they need general right here IN
their midst to lead them in the contest
against their political enemies now gath
ering under the leadership of Gen. u
Brown, and Hon. b. +. Martin is The
man of their choice.
1t is idle nonsense 10 Laik hOout any
sound Democrats turning over for Hayes
now. There is no good reason why they
should turn, and there IS every reason
why they should stand fast fer Tilden
So these great tales about renegade
Democrats you may set down as politica
tslsehoods. On the other hand there are
particular reasons and inducements to
bring the war Democrats back under the
old standard. The war Is over and 1t:
issues long since dead. And 1t now be-
comes the duty of those who saved oul
country in the time of war to preserve II
in time OF peace. Let every honest patriot
strip for the battle. We have the money
odds and officers against US, but thank
Heaven we have right, truth and honor
in our favor. TILLf REDRosE.
