AS long as political managers

tionable political principles who

hope to have q united, full Demo.
cratic vote polled. With clean
hands and pure hearts should the
officials OF this nation come to the
discharge OF their sacred trusts.
But moral character is not a condi.
ton of political preferment to the

whose moral characters we're as

be campaigns have been as rifle as

The Congressional election is
over, tue battle fought and Won By
the Democracy as usual. 1t was a
quiet and pesceable election here
as we'll as throughout the whole
country. The vote pOlled is small.
and had not Lynch come out at
the eleventh hour the vote
would have been smaller still,
as 1t was impossible TO arouse or
get the voters to come out and
cast their ballots. This indifference
on the part OF the people of this
county, is attributable to the fact
that the candidate for Congress,
Col. Thos. r. Stockdale was not
the choice of the Democrats Of the
county. To a certain extent this is
true, but the prime cause OF their
Indifference vas that Col. Stock.
dale had been charged With afiliat.

that parry was ruling over tue
white people of this State with a
remorseless baud, and that be has
never been able to clear himself of
this stigma. The masses of the
Democratic party of this comfy
stand By the nominee, whoever be
may be, if be is a true Democrat.

any doubt Of Col. StOckdaleis cleo

Office, that any objection is raised.
