OF good Democutic people had been pro-
cured at Charleston, by that minion OF
RRaicalisn, the U. S. District Attorney,
whose name is Golf. Only day or two
preceding this item was one to the effect
that another minion, &C., of Grafton, had |
organized raid upon the innocent DIS
tillers OF our beloved and soundly Demo |
cratic Second Congressional District, re-
the destruction OF a large amount
OF property Of great value 10 the Demo
cracy, and the great disturbance OF the
peace and harmony which would prevail
in the back counties, but for the tyran-

agents! Itshould be understood that the

but am fearful you will again refuse
them as you did during the struggle for
Southern independence" BY the way,
and seriously speaking, this illicit whisky
business presents singular feature in
this State, politically. The second anil
third districts are considered etcrnally
Democratic, while the first Is the only
stronghold the Republicans have in the
State, The records OF the District Court
will show that there are not less than
twenty violations OF the revenue laws in
either OF the strongly Democratic districts,
tn one in The frst. The inference seems
plain and practical, that wherever Repnb-
iicanism can assert itself, it brings about a
respect for the laws of the country and IN
Improvement in public morals altogether
at variance with the practice OF Democrat

crude idea for the criticism of the breth-

Of many Of the Democratic statesmen in
this yicinage. It isn't an ''Of year" eth

North have once more gone back on them:
THOSE Northern fellows have trick OF

that We shall have TO submit to be ruled
