In this county the boilers and the High
tax Republicans are united in 4 determine
tion to make the sixty and-six settlement the
one great issue in the election of members
to the Legislature. 1t is understood that
they are organizing ticket TO be composed
of High-tsx Republicans boiling Democrats
and WorkiDgmeD. The opponents of the
sixty-and-six settlement accept the issue
which has been forced upon them, and will or
sanize TO defeat this coalition. This can be
done by fusion OF all the elements opposed
TO the settlement foisted upon the people in
utter disregard OF the popular protest In
warning upon this fraud of Legislature
harged with bribery and corruption,
and around which there are no
sweet odors OF sanctity, the APPEAL
IS ready to make common cause with
allwhose motto is @REPEAL"-repeal of the
sIxty-and-six outrage upon the people. The
Low-tax Republicans of Shelby county
boldly proclaim their determination 10 sun
port Bate. In the August election they
showed their faith by their works, and cast
1000 votes for their county ticket Subse-
quent events have only served 10 intensity
their opposition to the sixty-aud-six bill,
and they are now in perfect accord with the
supporters of Fate and the platform on
which ne stands, and if the approaching
Democratic Convention, called 10 nominate
candidates for the Legislature is wise; if il
would defeat the coalition rapidly crystal
king in support of the sixty-snd-six in
iquity,i it will gladly accept the support of the
LoW-tax Republicans and m axe nominations
that will consolidate the friends of Bate on |
the same ticket. The 1000 votes which |
the LoW-tax colored Republicans polled in |
TINS county IN The August election shows that |
for the fret time since they were enfranchised
they are disposed 10 obliterate the color line,
to cut loose from the Federal rings, and TO
vote when the public interest requires it,
with their white employers, the interest of
both being identical, and it is. the duty of
the white people OF the South to encourage
this spirit OF self-reliance and independence.
In every part of the South there is an open
revolt against the further domination of the
Federal ofhce-holders and ofice-seekers, and
II the white people of the South, which
means the Democratic party, will be Just
to the blsckr, show disposition to trust them
when they indicate that they have learned to
care more for the material interests of both
races than the interest OF the carpetbaeger,
the future prosperity and happiness OF the
South will have been secured This ele-
ment should be respected and concifiated
IN the Democratic nominating Couven-
ton on Wednesday nexi. In order to
secure the support OF all factions in the
OF a good ticket to administer
the city government a colored man was
elected TO the Legislative Council, and if the
colored supporters of Bate present one or j
two good men as candidates for the Legisla- l
turs they should be nominated to oppose the
eoiored candidates which the boilers and | !
High-taI Republicans will put forward to e
AIRY the county in support of the sixty-and- G
X bill. The white taxpsying people of the =
south have been telling the blacks for !,
ourteen years that they were their friends E
md that it was to the interest of both races "
o vote together, and now that 1000 colored :, :.
oters in Shelby county have aligned them V
elves with those who pay the taxes, the whites v
nil make great mistake if they show no y
ympathy for the blacks in their efforts to
Aise a higher standard of thought and ',
ctioD in politics. The miserable slavery in er
hich the Republican party has kept the u
olorsd men, precluded from their minds
