The Turning Point.


In New York and Pennsylvania the
hearts OF the true Democrats are cheered
by the hope Of grand success TO be
achieved on the 9TH OF November next. II
The signs Of the times are not deceptive
the people Of those populous, wealthy, and
influential States have determined TO make
a final effort TO throw Off the yoke OF the
bosses who ever since GRANTS term In the
presidential Office have dispensed the Fed
eral patronage In those States with an eye
single to their own interests, and made re-
publican government by-word and
Kissing. CoNKLIXG has ruled the Empire
State as II he were its hereditary king,
The CAMERoNs, father and son, both still
the people OF the Keystone State.
The Virginia reader can easily under
stand how those bosses have conducted
themselves in their respective States IL ne
will but study MAHoNE's methods in this
State. What are these mcthodsY Every
Virginian In office, either in Washington
or under the State government, IL Ma
honeite, Is expected TO contribute OF his
time and means to the. perpetuation OF the
power OF the Boss. Every petty postmas-
ter Is removable at bis pleasure. Every
office-bolder IN the state or In Washington,
IL a yirginian, must pay tribute to the
Boss. and he at all times ready to do his
bidding.
So it is in New York and Pennsylvania.
The evil is OF so long standing in those
States that II appears to have become insuf-
ierable. The people are bent upon deliy-
ering themselves from the thraldom OF
CoSKLING and CAMERON, let who will profit
by the downfall Of those bosses. The peo-
pie know that the longer they submit to
this personal government and boss rule the
worse will become that personal govern
ment and boss rule. They know that the
one object had in view by the Bosses is the
perpetuation OF their own power. To this
the voters are not willing longer to submit.
They have resolved to be freemen once
more, and to consign CoNKLING and CANE
RON to the shades of private life, and let
them there reflect upon and repent OF their
crimes against the people-crimes COM
mitted ain the name OF liberty"
VIII the people Of Virginia desert their
party and their political principles at the
very moment when their Democratic allies
in Pennsylvania and New York are conf
dent Of a brilliant triumph over the worst
OF the Republicans, the Stalwarts? Will
you become Stalwarts just when the best
people in the Republican party have cast
off those malignants? viii you train with
CoNKLING, CAMERON, LOGAN, and GRANT,
or will you stand by the national Demo-
cracy, and with your faithful allies of
these many years march on 10 glo-
rious victoryy Are you, in 4 word,
Republicans or Democrats? And, sup
posing that you are willing to become
Republicans at all, can you find it in your
hearts TO recruit the wasting ranks OF the
Stalwarts? viii you march under stand
ard which so many even OF the Republicans
will not allow to float over them! Can
you 90 further than WICKgAM, BLAINE,
DEzENDORF, WOODEN, NICHE, &c, &c. !:
II not, let every Observation-Disclosures re-
sumo his allegiance to the Democratic party
OF Virginia and lend to that party all the
aid in his power in the supreme effort to
put down this fall, once for all, MALONE
rule in the Old Dominion.
