MAHoNE's "CRUEL CUNNING. ~
The Republican papers all understand
Malone as working for the defeat OF the
Democratic party.
The Washington Republican says -
General Malone, with mastery and
cruel cunning, has prepared the way for
either the crushing or the humiliation OF
the Conser gatlve party"
Will Democratic Readjusters aid him
to accomplish his evil purpose? If
they follow him, they will soon find
themselves in the Republican party.
Benedict Arnold was not greater
traitor to the cause Of American Inde-
pendence, than is Malone of the Demo
cratic party. AS the Lynchburg Virgi-
nidn says, William Malone is the
head and front Of all the deviltry, il
politics, that threatens 10 make Virgi-
mia the orprobium Of her sister States
of the South. In no other State Of the
South can there be found an ex Confed-
crate, pretending TO be Democrat,
who is laboring TO throw his State into
the hands of Radicals. But this is what
William Malone is doing, and the Con-
servative people of Virginia should be
made to sec it, and cut loose every
man Of them from the man whose
strategy" liks him, check by jowl,

The Majority or the Minority.

Below will be found an article from
the Richmond Dispatch we'll worthy OF
careful perusal. 1t explodes the pre-
tensions of the 7th Of July convention
that it represented a majority OF the
conservative voters of this Common
wealth so effectually that these preten.
sions should never again be paraded
before intelligent people. We know
the facts contained IN the article will be
met by bald assertion. They will be
characterized as ".faader lies" by
leaders who are busily engaged IN tor.
menting division and discord among
the democrats of the State. Neverthe-
less they are facts. TIE 10th District 10

1t the funder candidate so.called receiv-
ed for the Senate last fall 1856 votes,
the readiuster 2O26, all ofus in Shenan-
doah know that this is correct, the off,
cial return, and so in every other dis
trict iu the State the correct, official
vote is given in the article.
The Readjusters have the impudence
to claim that they have in their party a
majority of the white Conservative
voters of Virginia, There is no way Of
testing the justice OF their claim but by
appealing TO the official vote in the
election Of last November. For the
benefit of Democratic speakers, and at
the request of one of them, we will once
more reproduce the figures. We take
the vote for senators. 1t was as fol-

From letter from Dublin, Pulaski
County, to the Lynchburg News, We ex-
tract the following paragraph:
Yes, says Mr.. Malone, we will split
the Democratic party in the State, and
this will place the Republicans under
obligations to US, and hereafter the SUI
premacy of our party in the State will
be assured. This is it. as sure as you
are born. Else why was the leading
Republican IN our county so jubila1t on
yesterday. He couldn't listen to the
sermon while he sat in church, and al
most disturbed public worship with his
Civilizations. On, you ought to have
seen him. He was almost ready to
publicly embrace a readjuster, and bold
ly proclaimed his desire 10 do anything
they might command il the future.
Well, well, can it be possible that the
honest democratic yeomanry In the re-
adjuster's rank will allow themselves
TO be sold out by their leaders?

WE publish in this issue a call for a
meeting, for the purpose of requesting
the Democratic Executive Committee,
and Readjuster Executive Committee
in connection with the National Demo-
cratic Committee to give the people Of
Virginia Hancock and English ticket,
with five Readjuster and five Funder
electors and one TO be chosen by the
National Democratic Committee. The
paper has been generally signed by
democrats in this neighborhood without
regard to their opinions upon State
matters and is evidence Of the fact that
the people of Virginia really desire but
one ticket in the fel ID and that 10 be q

candidates and platform upon which
the national Democracy go before
the country in November next.
1t is a pregnant circumstance to
be noted by those who wish tine sue
cess Of the Democracy, that no
steps were taken and no effort was
made by the Rcadjuster organiza-
ton to be represented at Cincin-
nati;no claim was there presented in
their behalf that they represented
the true Democracy Of Virginia; so
far from it. although well knowing
the time and place for the
meeting of the Convention, and its
object as well, they took care to
have their Convention meet at a
period subsequent to the meeting Of
both the National Republican and
Democratic Conventions, and for
members of their Convention they
had members Of the last Republi-
can State Convention who never
have renounced their allegiance to
the Republican party and make no
pretence of having done so.
These statements are made by
this committee with no purpose to
embitter Or prolong the unfortunate
differences between fellow-Demo-
Gratis, but III order to how the ef-
forts that have been made for har-
mony and union, and how they
have failed.
The course of the regular Demo
cratic organization has been marked
by perfect openness and candor.
No one has ever been given reason
to doubt Or to question that those to
whom the conduct OF the affairs OF
the party has been entrusted were
animated by but one single pur-
pose-to wit, the success and tri-
umph OF the Cincinnati nominees.
Virginia las a Democratic majority
Of forty thousand, and she can be
pledged to Hancock and English, UNI
less n laroe number of the people
permit themselves to be deluded in.
70 dcsertion of our ticket, which,
knowing as We do the good sense
of the people and their devotion to
to Democratic principles, we cannot
believe to be possible.
At this day, when the De-
mocracy Of the whole union are bu-
rying strfes, many ofwhich are OF
the growth of years, we solemnly
appeal to our llow-Conservatiyes
and Democrats Of Virginia to merge
their differences, so recent i'll their
origin and so foreign to this contest
and unite in a fraternal and enthusl-
astic effort to deliver our country
from the long rule of corruption'
prohigacy, and assaults upon law
which has disgraced it and put con-
stitutional liberty in mortal peril,
