JACKSONVILLE, October Is. 1850.
The visiting statesmen have opened their
mouths; the opportunity was furnished them to
slandsr us BY getting up meeting for them in
the Freedman's Bank huildisgp The place
should have furnished them the grand opportu-
nifty OF explaining the mysteries Of that inssitu-
ton, bnt II was not touched upon Slanders
upon the South in keeping with the sayines Of
Hicks. Davis and sawyer were reiterated Lixkt

NO account. Sawyer has taksn Nm suss.s--
firmly as among those who are doing all the b.
jury possible to immigration. Not word ND to
this time can be found in the Hsm and Pres 10
ward any denial Of Hicks sayings both IN the
pulpit and On the stump while IN Maine; be is
willing the lies shall 60 undenied and ia tAsse-
fore an endorser of them. All right, Mr.. Ssn
and Press, We now know where you stand and
shall deal with you accordingly.
From this time out, and until after election,
all our efforts and energies must be directed to-
ward getting out the vote, and wish to impress
this important matter on the mind Of my read
ers In all parts Of the State: We hare oar op-
pouents completely demorali4ed, disorganized
and stripped Of all power for evil except, only in
us out of votes. Each and every one Of the
candidates = Conover, Bisbee, Ledwith and Bill
Lucas-stand ready to take every advantage, it
matters not how foul, to further their own per-
sonal advancement. even by cheating each other.
Our plain duty is to watch them all and see that
no iRroads are made upon our vote. Every
voter must be gotten to the polls On election
day. 1t is now matter of majority, whether it
shall be hundreds or thousands Let them be 80
pronounced as to bury the carpet-bagges COM
pletely out of sight, and beyond possibility of
resurrection.
Registration is another point that must be
carefully watched Mr. St. CIair-Abrams hes
unearthed fraud of 319 in the census Of Orange
county, and have good reasons to believe the
same fraud can be be traced to other counties
hence warn the Democracy to be on the alert.
Keep in view all the time that we have visiting
Statesmen among US, and there is no telling what
they may advise, and what manner of frauds
may be concocted by these unscrupulous cd
venturerA Judging from the past we know they
are here for no good. A big steal or fraud is on
hand. l again warn the Democracy to be on
their guard Eternal vigilance is the price Of

regard to convicts not being eligible voters ID

to that opinion for he sees in ii Ices Of hundreds

Committees will avail themselves Of il The
time, my friends. has arrived for the Democracy
to purge our State of crime and corruption
whether in voters or candidates. We do not hold

nous crimes stand boldly in view to the Repub-
fcans, and they may well take exceptions TO this
long array of crimes that will have the effect Of
lessening the number Of their voters at the next
election, and if properly looked into will reduce
their party to mere skeleton in very many
places in the State. 80
One of the incest little muses. in the whole
State now exists in Putnam county. You win
all remember that at the convent1on In Falntka
when delegates to the Chicago conventiou were
nominated in favor Of Grant how uncerembnf
ously Hammond, Conard, CowgiIl and Tenhey
were kicked out Of the convention, and every
one Of these men came out hat-footed against
not only Grant, bat the whole Republicans Stnte
ticket and declared they would not vote ffnr
Grant, but would support the whole State Demo
cratic ticket They were all outspoken, did mot
hesitate to openly proclaim their decision. ssss4

but e329 did, and Hammond was 90 welded
