In fact several parties would be glad if an
opportunity were given them. No wild
cat swindling scheme has ever occurred
here to oinjure our credit, and the promise Of
Lincoln county to pay dollar for dollarisjust
as ''good as the wheat. The countyowes
no railroad debt and is underno obligationto
any corporation.
NATIoNALITIEs
The settlers of the county are OF various
nationalities, and all are of an industrious,
frugal sort, who are steadily advancing
as regards securing their portion OF this

is extended to all. 1t is characteristic OF
the old settler to offer his hand and good
will to the new conner. He will welcome
you.
DAKOTA IN GENERAL.
Dakota, about to be admitted into the
Union of States, has an era OF prosperity
such as has never before been experienced.
1t is fitting that general review should
be given to enlighten the homeseeker.
We make few extracts
dsrful territory of Dakota, of its rapid and almost
instant settlement of its thousands of acres of rich
and productive soil, of its being the finest stock
country in the world and that tits to come out
of the darkness and, casting aside the dreary and
cheerless names that have been given her. take her
place in the galaxy of states. But few years ago
Dakota was known only as wild and desolate tract
of land the great Americas desert the home of the
of +I,a
red men. Here, if no where else, he could roam at
will, unmolested by the presence of the pale face
What a change has been wrought in the then wild
country?
We have received copies of pamphlet
which contains the claims Of Dakota, south
of the 10th parallel, for admission as pre-
sented before the committees of Congress.
1t ould certainly appear that the facts
therein set out should be sufficient to con
! vince any candid man that the southern
half of Dakota is fully entitled to state
| hood.
Pamphlet shows that in this portion OF the Terri
tory there were at the time of taking the last
loo, 500 person, exclusive of Indians. That after
| the time of taking the census aud prior to Jan.
LIST 1882 6,7Ss pre-emption filings, $3.50 homestead
entries, and 6,443 cash entries, were made at the
| four land offices in Southern Dakota.
1t is shown that 756 II miles Of railway have been
built and put in operation therein since the taking
| of the census.
| 1t is also shown that the assessed valuation of
outhern Dakota, not including railroads. increased
fifty per cent. from 1880 to 1881, and that there is
every reason to expect very much larger ratio OF
increase from 1881 to 1882.

Tired Of the Party Lash"
BEAUFORT, S. c.. October

BEAUFORT, =. T.. October d.
To the editor ofMc Neors and (0uricr:
noticed not many days ago slurs in some
OF the newspapers as to my political faith
and " my flop" have never yet belonged
to any particular party. therefore / cannot be
said to have "aopedr from one party to
another.
This letter will explain my political
faith" ~ Southerner, love the South and
its interests. look to-day upon the condi-
ton of the colored manin the South and ask
how can theprobem in which he is the main
factor be solved
For more than twelve years he has been
driven by party lash, and made to vote
and act against his own interest, and against
those whose interests must from the sur
rounding circumstances, be identical with
his.
No one denies that radical rule has
brought all the ills which have come alike
to white and black in this section for the
last twelve or fifteen years No one can
deny that the reign during that time was a
reign of plumber.
How can the condition Of the South be
made better? answer; BY educating the
masses by educating men to act irrespective
OF party lines; by maintaining home rule: by
buryinG old issues, and by showing the col
ored man that his best friends can be found
in the South when he ceases to act-as he
now does without causc-against them.
Southern wealth, Southern culture. South
ern votes and Southern men-nativc born
must and. will rule the South. Ifall citi.
zcns will recognize this fact and work for
the accomplishment Of this end, 4 better
feeling must exist between the two races,
and 4 better government must and will be
established
There arc many among the colorcd people
who are tired of the party lash, and who will
one day make break
There are only needed the few who will
be brave enough to lead, and teach, and
speak.
There must, ere long be change from the
very foundation of National Government.
1t is even now foreshadowed by the brave
fight which just men are making against
"Bossism" in Pennsylvania and Virginia,
and by the fight that is being made against
corruption in Ohio, New York and the
South
This change must begin in the States. It
must come in the South and be such that it
will prove to all that friendly feelings can
exist between the two races.
| owe radicalism nothing, and with the
records of the advocates Of ralicalsm before
me, would lie TO my own conscience were
to vote, write or speak to bring a return of
Radical rule in the South.
Yours, for good government.

Massey at Culpeoer.

CuLpErER, Oct. 81, 1SS2.-By appoint
mont Mr.. Massey addressed the people OF
Culpeper to-day, and had very large and
enthusiastic audience, the hall and stage be-
ing so crowded that Mr.. Massey only had
sufficient space on which to stand.
He spoke for nearly three and halfhours
and made one of the most powerful argu-
mcnts, illustrated By most striking exam
pies taken from every day life, and well
told and effective anecdotes.
1t was generally conceded that it was the
ablest political speech which has been made
at Culpeper in many years
Mr.. Massey was sngularly happy in the
clear and effective manner in which he
seemed to reach and convince the plaincst
understanding. Many who came to the speak
ing with some prejudice against the distin-
gulshed speaker, were delighted with his
explanations of the issues before the people
of Virginia and announced their purpose
to give him cordial support.
Set Culpeper down for Massey and Bar
bour by good majority.
Mr.. Massey speaks in Fairfax Tuesday
and Alexandria Tuesday night. No one
should fail to hear him.
Such speech as he delivered here to-day
II made in every county of Virginia would
bring about most overwhelming majority
for Massey and the democratic party.

Grand Democratic Rally at Vienna, Fairfax Co.
She democrats Of Fairfax county, living
near Vienna, assembled in mass meeting at
Vienna on Saturday evening last to hear Mr..
Andrew a. Iipscomb, q prominent young
lawyer of Alexandria, and sterling demo-
GRAFT, who takes great delight in doing his
duty for his native State. There was quite
large audience present to hear Mr.. Lip
scomb, and their deep interest was mani
tested by the hearty applause given him as
time after time he struck heavy blows at
.Alahoneism and called upon the people Of
Fairfax TO be true to themselves and aid in
Kidding their State of the rule of Bossism.
Mr.. Lipscomb discussed at much length
the issues of the present canvass, dwelling
particularly upon the Ubiquitous measures
passed By the Mahoneites ut the last Leris
lature, and the more ubiquitous measures
proposed to have been passed by them, but
prevented, by the stand taken by the noble
Big Four" He paid a just and high tri-
butte to the Hon. John E. Massey for refls-
ing to sacrifice his principles for the sake of
office, and drew striking contrast as to the
Po.'ioAo - 'iAAs S'pCSe OSCuplC't ny JOnn -.
Wise.
He spoke with a lucncy and vim not Of.
ten met with, which showed most conclu-
sively that his heart was thoroughly in the
fight.
Mr.. Lipscomb's speech made decp and
lasting impression upon the minds Of his
hearers, which will bring forth many good
results on the day of election.
1t is hoped that Mr. Lipscomb will visit
our county again before the day of election,
for such speakers do great good.
Mr.. Leonard Marbury, Commonwealth
Attorney of Alexandria city, who was prc-
sent, was called upon, and in a short and
incsive speech pointed out to the democrats
the line of action for them to follow in this
canvass. which was to use every effort from
now until sunset on the day of election in
rolling up large majority for Massey and
Barbour, and stamp out for all time to come
Malone and his henchmen, whose only OBJ
ject is to live upon the people of Virginia.
Capt. Van Slyck, of Vienna, followed Mr.
Narbury and urged the voters to organize
thorough y and leave nothing undone where
by the defeat of Wise and Farr MIGHT no
accomplished.
1t was glorious day for the democrats
of Vienna and vicinity, and good results are
bound to follow.
The democrats of Fairfax are aroused to
the Importance of this canvass, and propose
doing their whole duty {.
