OF The State in its keeping. and which Is
the PARTY OF the white man, for the white
man, and controlled by the white man,
and that he still loves the honor, the glory,
and the history OF the State. He believes
i'm the superiority, the elevation. the intel
ligence, and the domination OF the white
man: and while he has rich Anglo-SaxOn
blood surging through his veins, beyond
the control OF "A tyrant, he will assert his
independence, his manhood, and the great

brick and sling him. and the claims and
inducements Of kinship, and the incentives
OF honor make his political garb fit him ana
burn him like the shirt OF Nessus, and con-
strain him to leave the enemy and come
back to his own people. This is the reyo-
luton and change that is going on among
our peolle. They have been blind, but they
now see: they have been deaf, but they now
hear. We respect their feelings and their
convictions. We honor them wherein
they merit our respect, and gladly wei
come them back into our "ark and cove
nant." This is what encourages us; this
is what makes us believe that our I'M
daunted men will carry our banner in the
front Of victory, and it is this that should
nerve every arm, animate every heart. and
eagle-plume every soul for action-prompi,
unceasing, vi.ilant action in this moment

white faces, who being blind wish to
lead Others into the ditch, followed,
supported, hurrahed, hoped on by
motley crew, the "rag-tag-and-bOb-
tall OF the community. The leaders OF this
party are all ofce-hunters. They would
leave any party that would not and did not
expect to give them place rs the price of
their servilitv. 1t matters not 10 them that
tyranny is expressing the people; that the
autocrat OF Virginia. mite OF humanity
dignificd by big hats trying TO set his
long. skinny foot upon the liberties OF
Virginia; that the rule OF this party i
keeping thousands OF good and wealthy
citizens from investing their money
amongst us that the establishment OF ny
bridism in the State means the prcdOmi-
nance Of the negro and the belittling Of
the white man; that the extension Of the
power Of the principle that "wc are for
Arthur because Arthur is for US" will put
the state into the hands OF Republicans and
defeat the election OF 4 Democratic PreSi-
dent in 1884, for they are hungry, very
hungry, and must have q placc-an Office.

They say that they do two thirds Of the
voting, and they will have two thirds OF
the offices. Pretty good logic. The result
Of this is they will not take Maddox down
at the dictation Of Malone, and the more
he tries to pour oil on the troubled waters
the hotter the thing becomes. The negroes
won't vote for sims -NQhOneS petal
though Malone wet-nurses him, because
| he don't suit their taste, and the few white
men with them won't vote for Maddox be-
cause they don't ike him. Whyi They
give no reason, but simply say in the Ian
guage OF the old lines
We do not love YOU. Doctor Fell,

We won't vote for YOU, Doctor Fell.

hope they may keep the Kettle "a bilin' F"
until the Boss, who wishes 10 stick his am
bilious finger in it. shall get the said finger
burnt 10 the bone. There are more things
in heaven and earth than are dreamed Of
IN our hilosophy-especially in Malone
ry: for its ways are ways OF darkness, and
ITS paths are paths OF vice, and its courts
are seats OF degradation. At least it is so
here in Denmark. Proud brave men OF
Virginia, arise and wipe the tears from the
checks Of youI mother and the shame from
her brow.
