In response to the Harrisonburg Com
monwealth," we will say that if the statement

party of Massachusetts as it's nominee for
Governor, and Rev. Jno. E. Massey at the
head OF the Democratic party of Virginia. as
its candidate for Congressman at large, is a
nice pictare to study, from democratic stand
point, especially. Yet this same Democracy
is denounclng the inconsistent and traitorous
Republicans for supporting John 8. Wise for
Congressman at large and Gen. Malone, who
has set his foot down on Bourbon Democracy
Not only from every portion of the Seventh
District, but from every section of the State,

to the Liberal cause. To make the victory as
complete and expressive as possible and dis
astrous to Bourbonisin, every Liberal citizen
should see to it that he is qualified to vote by
paying the poll tax for 1881. A brave, az
gressive charge all along the lines will result
in o great triumph, and remove all apprehen-
sions of Bourbon prescription and persecution
ever hereafter We want every Liberal in
Augusta to do his duty.

as to the restriction on the ballot The vote in
November next will determine whether the

one dollar. shall remain in the constitution OF
not. The Bourbons will vote, generally, to
retain it, and for that reasoD they make nc
public allusion to it. In that way it wae
adopted in 1876. Every friend ola free ballot
in the commonwealth, shOald qualify himself
to vote, and see too ii that his ticket has on il
"for the amendment" Vigilance is, in'
deed, the price of liberty in this instance.
