What the Hoopie bosbc.
Las, year the people Of Virgins gss'
% Coo votes for the regular DemocrA' !
tlekst ana onls 81, 900 for The bogus hAs'
cocK ticket. They put she scar OF 'ur NV,
contemplation upon the sttempt 'osn ,n" ,'
"a divide the Democratic psfty. InAs -
,hes aia not so divide IS 10 allow the ne
,ah,,eans 10 carry the state. The mere
snsolclon that the MAnoSE Ticket was pu
nut 10 aid indirectly the Republican Iicke'
ss,,sed the overwhelming defeat Of th'
Mshoueltes. These latter gentlemen pro
sss,sa that theirs was the genuine HAN
cock ticket, and THAI ours was the pogu'
one. Only few days before the eIect,on
General MALONE himself issued ciicO's'
70 his delud, d followers, In which ne az.
ssuyed them that his electoral ticket woo'o
lead BY many thousands OF votes. bui nof
wisbstandIus all the boasts OF General ma
BoxE's organs, and all bis own connoen'
predictions and reSssuring procisma.i9"s'
sbe voters went their own way. They knew
somebow or other which was the genuine
p.xcocK ticket, and IN some way learned
how 90 10 unite their votes on that ticket ~
10 carry Virginia for ii.
Wei, 1857 is upon us, and the same
voters are again called upon to repair 10 tne
ballot. box and cast their votes as true Dem
ocrats. Mind you, there are IN round
numbers 100000 voters in Virginia. VI
these 10000 are whites, snd 100000 are ne
groes. OF the whites nearly all are Demo
crats-tbat il, either ReSdiuster or Funder
Democrats. I'VE leave the few ReSdlnster
leaders out Of the count.) Let The whites
who are Republicans lie offset by the me-
eroes who always vote the Democratic
ticket. and our m9jority is 10000. THIS
msjority Is 20 large, however, that we neto
not stop TO compute the number OF White
Republicans or the number Of negro Dem
ccrats. 1t is plain that 10 a contest Wild
the Republican party The Democratic party
bas an immense majority. The tao HAN
cocK tickets received lsst year more thah
forty thousand majority over the Repubh'
can ticket. No wonder the ReSdlustors re-
fuse TO be known as Republicans, and &C.
clare themselves to be only a" Resdiusters."
They hope thus TO mislead the voteFS'
Their claim, however, 10 be able to read
lust the public debt under the hIpDaEBfR'
GER bill is as uniouuded as was their claim
10 be the genuine HANCOCK party.
We have. therefore, only to rally The
whole Democratic party in order to insure
tbe success Of our ticket. We must get the
voters TO vote as Democrats. VIII they 90
thisy How can We induce them to DO II
Their sharp iutuitions taught them last
wear that a vote for the July ticket was
vote for the Republican candidate Tor Pre-
sident OF the Usited States. They are az
intelligent this year as they were last, ana
will vote so as to accomplish the object they
have in view. They will, therefore. vote
the regular Democratic ticket II they are
satisfied that The public debt will be settled
and forever taken out OF politics by the
election OF DANIEL, BARBOUR, and MchIE-
NEY.
Now, then, We Democratic speakers ana
Journalists, sll you have TO do is to convince
the voters that the Democratic party will
settle the public debt once for all. In order
70 this end, take up the RIDLEstRGER bill
and riddle Il. II is prcposterous to pretend
that there is any possibility OF settling the
public debt upon the basis Of bill which
proposes TO repudiate thirteen millions OF
the debt the State as aseertaned by Der own
officers to shave every thousand-dollar con-
sol bond down to FIVE hundred and thirty DOL
lars, and reduce the sixty dollars Of annual
interest on thousand-dollar consol.bond to
less than sixteen dollars. ASK The voters II
any man Of them would surrender ten
thousand dollars Of consol bonds yielding
ak hundred dollars annually, and bearing
coupons receivable for taxes, for bonds
for five thousand three hundred dollars,
bearing no iax.Ieeeiyable coupons, and
yielding only one hundred and nifty
nine dollars Of interest annually BE
sure that those same intuitlons which
last year enabled The voters TO con-
centraie their ballots upon the genuine
HANCOCK ticket will this year point out TO
them the regular Democratic party as the
only party that can settle the public debt
fnally. We have mixed with the people at
their homes, and in their counting rooms,
aud on their farms, and we may say that We
know that they ask Of the Democrats only
for final reaGiuslment OF Virginia's in
debtedness. Let them be assured that the
Democratic party will do this, and they will
vote as solidIy for DANIEL, BARBOUR, and
McKNNHY as they did last year for the gen.
ulne HANCOCK ticket.
