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. In 1800 del-1
tiffed tho country with fraternal bloodJ
