A CARD. rr. i , Editor' f State BigUs Democrat : It baa been circulated in some localities that t have consented to ran as a candidate for County Treasurer on what is termed the "Cayuse gicteL'' I desire to say that this is wholly fake. , I have Dot consented to do so't ncr 'will I do so under any circumstances or for;aay cb:iideration. For forty-five years I have been a. voter, and have always voted the Democratic ticket ; and it is too late in the day. now for , me to repudiate the time-hcaored-principles and usages of the Dem cratio party. They are dearer to me now than ever. .- Iiihall vote the regularly nomi nated Democratic ticket, if my life is spared and I have health sufficient to enable me to go to tfic i poll I. - '. L -- ' : May a,'l863.T!! V? CLAIBORNE HILL. Election, first day of next June, TOTCRS OP LINK COUNTY ! Wo wish to say a few words to you, and we beg your attention. Tho first Monday of next Juno is rapidly approaching; llavo you de liberated, as yon ought, on tho Issues which you aro to aid in deciding at that tirao ? For whom and for what will you voto? Aro you in favor of Negro Suffrage ? If you are, vote for Logan. Ho be lieves in it, and so do his party. They have enfranchised the negro in every Territory, in tho District of Colum bia, and as rapidly as possible are clothing hira with this right in the ten Southern States, at tho point of the bayonet. If you believe all this right, vote for David Logan; but if you are against Negro Suffrage if you believe thisis a White Man's Government, made by White Men for the benefit of White Men, you will voto for Smith, tho Democratic nomi nee Are you in favor of feeding, cloth ing, and educating negroes with mon ey which you help to raise, while hun dreds and thousands of white men, and women, and children arc now suf fering tho pangs of destitution and starvation in New York and liostn ? If so, vote for David Logan. He and his party created and strenuously ad vocate the Freedmen's llureau an institution which upholds negroes in idleness and maintains a set of upstarts in ofiicc at the public expense. More money is now annually expended for this abominable Bureau, than was nec essary in the earlier and purer days of the Republic, to defray the entire annual expenses of tho Government. Do you sanction this ? Do you be lieve in it ? If you do, vote for Logan and the rest of the Mongrel ticket. But if you do not, you will not fail to voto for Smith and the rest of the Democratic ticket. Smith, if in Con gress, would vote to repeal this Bu reau swindle ; he would vote that ne groes should go to work and earn their own livelihood, or else starve. White men don't get any aid from Govern ment though poor and starving. Is a negro better than a white man ? Are you in favor of Social Xegro Equality ? If you are you will vote for Logan, for he and his party are in favor of it. We know some deny it, but facts are very stubborn things. The doctrine of Negro Suffrage in volves and implies Social Negro Equal ity. Besides, all the great leaders of the Radical party all the Greeley s, Stevenses, Sumners and Phillipses men who have made the party open ly avow it ; aye, and some of the lead ers in Oregon carry it into practice whenever they can. Was not Social Negro Equality publicly and unblush ingly practised here in Albany last summer during a Sunday School pic" nic celebration ? Are there not those in this city who introduce negro wenches to the white ladies who visit them, and who sit with them in the same pew at church ? Are there not those who pet negro wenches until the wenches themselves actually blush to think what servile asses and fanatics their white admirers are ? If you be lieve in this if you think it all right and proper that netcroes should send to the same school you do, and mir your children with theirs ; if you would have negro wenches eat at the same table, mix in with the same com pany, and sit in the same pew with your wives and daughters, vote for Logan and all the rest on his ticket. They will not admit that they arc in favor of all this, not nowr-but at the same time they advocate a policy which will produce such results as surely as that thunder follows the lightning's flask Are you in favor of the Reconstruc tion policy of Congress ? Do you de sire to see the white men of the South ern States disfranchised their former slaves making laws for them and completely subject to the will of an irresponsible military, despot? Do you wish to sec a standing army kept up in the South, costing $100,000,000 annually,-1!! filched from your pock ets and those of the other laborers of the nation ? V If you do, vote for Lo gan. Ho prides himself on being the especial champion of the Reconstruc tion policy of Congress, and if elected, he will exert all his influence in favor of it. But if you think otherwise if you think it an unspeakable wrong and outrage a solemn mockery of justice, and the essence of high-handed tyranny, as it is, you will vote for Joseph S. Smith and the rest of the ticket. Personally considered, you cannot vote for a better, purer man than Mr. Smith. How about the TJ. States bonds ? We owe, as a nation, about $3,000,- 000,000, and about two billions are in the form of bonds, but owing to laws passed by a Radical Congress they cannot be taxed. Is this right ? Lo gan and his party say it is. We ad mit that thus far, he has studiously avoided uttering a word on the bond question. This proves that he is afraid of it. No taunting and badgering of his opponent has yet caused him to open his mouth on this subject. - But let none suppose that ho will, if elect ed, voto o have U. S. Bonds taxed. As an individual ho may bclicvo that they should bo taxed ; but he will voto tho other way, because he is identified with a party who believe they should bo exempt from taxation. Ho will not dare to disobey tho behests of tho party on whom ho will bo dependent and to whom ho will owe his election. No, Voters ! If you would have theso bonds taxed, vote for Smith, Ho rep resents a party who believe it right to tax them, and that it is constitutional to tax them. Let bondholders be tax ed, and thus aid in supporting tho Government. Let there be no class legislation. Why should the rich man be exempt from taxation? Why should tho national burdens fill exclu sively upon the common laborer? You believe the National Debt, though so large as to border on tho in finite, should be paid. But how? 31 r. Logan and his party believe that the principal, as well as interest, should be and must be paid in gold, because Secretary Chase said they would be, as is alledged. Mr. Smith and the Democratic party beliovo that tho principal of all tho bonds, except the 10-10's, should bo paid in greenbacks. They believe that to bo a fair construc tion of tho law ; if it is, no ono has any right to camplain. Many Repub licans also believe the bonds should bo cancelled in greenbacks among them are Butler and Stevens; while the Republican Conventions of Ohio and Indiana have made this a promi nent plank in their platform. The debt can be cancelled in green backs, but never in gold. Why should bondholders be paid gold? If greenbacks arc good enough for the soldier, and the common people, why shouldn't tho bondholder take them ? Why should the very life-blood of the honest son of toil be drawn off to sup port a privileged class ? Vote for Smith, and you vote for your own dearest interests. Voteks! Take these questions into serious consideration. Talk with your neighbors about them; and, above all, vote them on the first Monday in next June. Steady on the whole line ! Don't 8i)lit vour ticket. Siot the man that doe?. BEHACA Di: LA I'ALJIA. To-day is the anniversary of the battlo of Resaca de la l'alma. The battle of Palo Alta was fought on the 8th of Mav. It was well contested, but Gen. Taylor drove the Mexicans and encamped on the battle-field. Next morning he pursued and over took the enemy. The battle of Res aca followed, and the Mexican army was most effectually beaten, and fled across tho Rio Grande. When these battles were fought tho Whig party was in full blast. Clay and Webster were the acknowledged leaders. They took ground against the war with Mexico : and it was most bitterly opposed by the entire Whig party. Corwin said, in his place in the Senate, that he hoped the Mexicans would welcome our soldiers with bloody hands ' to hospitable graves. Greeley opposed it with might and main. Abo Lincoln was then in Congress and he opposed it. He made a speech against the war; and had so much to say about tho ex act "spot" where the war commenced that when subsequently he ran for Congress again, he was dubbed "Spot it Lincoln, and was beaten quite hand somely. He and other Whig leaders opposed the war with Mexico on seve ral grounds; but the chief one was that it would result in the acquisition of more territory. . They contended that the U. States then had enough territory ; and that it would be very suicidal to add more to our already vast domain.. They argued that the Territory which wo acquired from Mexico was barren, sterile and utter ly worthless; and that the war was "God-abhorred," and would bring down the just judgments of heaven upon the American people. ; The Dem ocratic party, however, assumed the responsibility, whipped Mexico, and annexed California, , and everybody knows the result. In this connection we may remark that tho Democratic party has ever favored the acquisition of Territory, while their opponents havc generally oppposcd this policy. Yet, notwithstanding this fact, the abolitionists under Lincoln, plunged the country into ' Civil , War ostensi bly to'prevent States from going out whose acquisition and admission they had violently opposed ; but whoso real object, from the first, was the abolition of slavery, in the States through which, their" armed cohorts were marched. The Democratic party tried to effect a compromise ; they thought it unnecessary to shed frater nal blood, and they did all they could to effect ana micable settlement ; but without avail. The hate the abolition - ists cherished, and still manifest, must be gratified by blood-letting, and by- carnage, and pillage, and tho smoke o battle and the terrible enginery of war; and thus it came about that that very party which, all its life-long, opposed the acquisition of territory.
