the people such ticket and no one
need fear the result.
Let the Fayetteville Enterprise,
Hinton Herald, the Greenbrier hide
pendent, Border Watchman, Point
Pleasant Register, answer as to the
feeling in their sections in relation
to the removal; unless we are misin,
formed, there is, as much a feeling Of
its being an outrage on the entire
Third District as there is in Kama
wha County, and when the opportu-
nifty comes to give that feeling ex-
preston it will be rcalized.-Hun-
tington Adrertiser.
We can say in few words that
our people are probably as indignant
at the removal of the Capital, as any
in the Third District, but while this
may be true, still they are not made
of such stuff, as to carry their feel
ings into the canvass, and attempt
political suicide for the purpose of
revenge. The Democrats of Mason
county, while they disapprove of the
removal, and would do all in their
power to return the Capital to the
city of Charleston, yet they will not
go into any arrangement with the
advertiser, to overthrow the Democ-
racy in this State, and place in pow
er, their worst enemies, the Republi-
cans.
Tho policy pursued by tho canricr
and .4ducrtiscr, is foolish in the eX,
IRENE. We do not want to build up
a sectional party in the Third Dis
trict. What would it amount to, but
the defeat of the Democratic party Of
the State?
If the Democrats of the Third Dis
trict are to vote against all nominees
upon the State ticket, who may hap
pen to hail from the First and Sec
ond Districts, then would not the
.Adpertissr be charitable enough to
accord to the other Districts the
privilege Of voting against our men?
1t is fair to presume that they would
not vote with us unless we voted with
them? This matter of State politics
affects all sections alike, and a local
or home question ought not be lug
gcd into the canvass,
This uncalled for agitation will do
no good, and only exhibits a weak
ness in the Charleston Courier and
Huntington .4drertiScr, that is calcu-
lated to bring them into ridiculC,-
This kind of spirit will not restore
the Capital; but in our opinion, if
persisted in, will result in the defeat
of the Democratic party. We hope
for the good of the principles we all
cherish and the cause we advocate,
that these papers will stop their fool
isbnCss, and set to work to harmon
lie the discordant elements of our
party, and endeavor to bring all sec
tions to a fair understanding, that
we may go into the battle in an UNI
broken line.
The Convention will soon he held,
and our ticket selected, and from
whatever section they may come, it
will be our bounden duty to vote for
them, and use all honorable means
to secure their election.
We know this to be the sentiment
of the Democrats of Mason county,
We would say, however as matter
Of prudence, that no man who was
active in removal" ought to be pla
ced upon the State ticket, for such
man might lose votes in the Thirc
District.
We trust this answer will DO sat
isfactory to the Adrcrtiscr We wish
also to be understood that we have
quarrel with any of the Democratic
papers of the State, or District, MOI
can they, at this time, provoke us t.
