CAMERON.

You said in eighteen -sixty-eight
There must not be the least rebate
In what was owing by your State,
Will Cameron.
The fifty millions should be paid,
The debt in honor had been made;
And it was very small. you said,
VIII Cameron.
ITO the last drop of blood" indeed,
ITO the last pound of flesh" If need;
This was the substance of your creed,
VIII Cameron.
And nineteen million now you say
Is all we owe and all you'll pay,
Though Funders howl and Bourbonopray,
VIII Cameron.
And SO the darkies long ago,
Whose skins are nouU as white as snow,
Were brutal niggers then, you know,
VIII Cameron.
But you were very youthful then,
Your age lacked tao of three times ten
Blunders befall the wisest men
VIII Cameron.
Full well you know that to succeed
The colored vote is what you need,
And therefore you have changed your creed'
Will Cameron.
With victory yours, your coronet
VIII not with pure white pearls be set.
But charcoal gems as black as Jet,
VIII Cameron.
But you'll not winl Saxons, rejoice!
The knightly Daniel is their choice,
Crown him, will be the peoples voice.
VIII Cameron.

of all white men who have ever had an
idea of supporting Mr.. Boiling, to pause
and ask themselves what earthly OBJ

mics of so-called Conservative faction.
What has brought about the sudden ap'
pearance disagreement between men who
but few months ago, were on the same

1.-THE motives which impel the radi.
cal leaders to adopt this change of tao
tics are sufficiently Ineligible. They
hope, and with good reason, that the
links of the Conservative formation
once broken, they can regain their su
premacy. 1t is but q small sacrifice
that they should pay hopeless candi
dacy for the Senate for an opportunity
of possessing the office and patronage
of the leading community in South
side Virginia. But what can induce
white men with substantial interests al

'perpetuity of Conservatism"-to LEND

sondary issue of the existing campaign.
sIndeed many heretofore pronounced
1debt payers have been SO provoked at
the support given the repudiationists by
the Administration and the Northern
Republicans that, with them, the settle
ment of the debt doesn't reach even the
condition of a secondary issue; they don't
seare fig whether it is ever settled OF

satisfactory or otherwise to the creditors.

Cameron of 1875 VS.. Cameron of 1881

No one has condemned the course of
Cameron in 1881, and the party he sup
ports, in stronger terms than he himself
did six years in advance, as will be seen
by the following extracts from the Pc
tersburg Evening Star when he was sin
sole control of the editorial department"
as announced by that paper. The posi-
ton which Cameron said the Independ-
ents occupied in 1875 is similar to that
which is now occupied by Cameron and
the party he represents. Read what
Cameron said in 1875, make the proper
application, and see how strikingly he is
condemned by the language he applied
to others, who then, if his allegations
were true. occupied position similar
to that now occupied by himself and thu
party he represents. We give few o.
these extracts as follows:-
Oct. l, 1875.
"The fact is, the Republican party ii
working zealously for the election of tn
opposition candidate Colonel r. B. Boil
ling.) That ought to be reason enough
to compel every thoughtful aOlaite maj
to support the nominee (W. E. Hin
ton.")
