Having learned this fact from some of the
nominees of tho Republican party, to fill
tbd (District' piBcjes,: I would . ?sk> space
enough in your paper to give it publici
ty, in order that the voters of the District may
know who are their friends, and tho character
of the.person for whom they voto.
f\ ,' Mr. .Gpprgo W. Sturgeon announces public
ity, that ho is not a Radical at heart; that ho
is not an advocate of universal suffrage, and is
as 'much opposed to negro supremacy as any
ono of the Democratic party, yet he accepts
|thc nomination from tho Republican party,
joins with them in their meetings, aud in all
his speeches endorses, and upholds the princi
ples of tho Radical party. Why such duplici
ty ! Why such n lack of manliness! Why
such a want of honesty! Why practice sueh
deception upou the colored votors ? If his
heart is not with them why not have the bold
ness to say so ?
Again the recently elected member to the
State Legislature, Mr. DoMars says, that ho
Avas induced to accept the nomination from
the Radical party; for the sake of position and
profit. In other words lie is willing to sacri
fice principle for Money. He is willing to be
called a radical, because it will pay. Hero
hen, Mr. Editor, is the secret. It is money
hat prompts them to endorse the radical plat
brm. It is money that induces them to preach
Negro Supremacy. It is-tho prospect of a
golden harvest that makes them willing to sacri
fice honor aud honesty. Such men do not
deserve the support of a free people. f\et the
voters of tho District ill the coming elections,
remember their men who aie seeking office, by
openly favoring principles which they do not
believe, if we can believe llicni. Such duplicity
a and political dishonesty should not bo tolera
ted. Let us go to the polls as otto man deter
mined to vote only for those men who are hon
est in their opiuions, firm in their principles
of truth and justice, and who cannot be lured
by gain to net a He. Remember we are fight
ing for a great, principle. Lay aside all per
sonal feeling and vote for principle and not
men. And then may wo expect to see decen

the great chief of Our Radical Party in this
place, tor wit; that is tor say Mister Randolf.
Well Mr. Dibble, to pcrsodc to my narrative.
[ woubl 1st describe to you tho distinguished
leaders of our great & od i Ibras party, as they
appeared on the menible.tiito of the 2d .May.
lS.hundrcd and OS, wich will be rceklcctod by
the children not yet.born. in the wurl, as the

this distinguished ass omblec, not bavin even

[ hev herd that there names hev bin banded
down from ausbaut days, but there >jUt*$ins
I never seen before. 1 wur struk wen I seen
there pussins. Hut my amuse wur grato wen
I seen the leader, uv this band uv Patriots. 1
mccti the gentlemen, whose name I hovo be
fore this inetishund on another line. What I
/team uv him. did not make mo equal to tho
surprise, uv the view uv his gallant ec glorious
pussiii. Picture to ycr minds eye, Mr. Editor
Dibble, a portly gentlemen, aged say f"), not
phair, quit tho coutraire. In fak bo might
bo called a Rrunetse aud wild pass fur sich in
tho most Civilised Sersiety; hair close, hurled
on tho 'dop uv Iiis hod, in tho phi is were the

Randolf bad u hisspriasbeii in bis i's, wich we
cud rckogniso ;it n giant/ as the i?liire of geuus
lie war the - big dog uv the meet in," i'tir to
use another poetic frais, vidi I heard A gentle
man stii in the uieotip. An he done the nom
inatin of the pussins who was at all anxious
fur to serve their popi; Kuntry for "uothin but
luv." An veu a member gets up fur to disa
gree from the Checf, ho sais '-the gentleman
ur out uv ordei," vich axsident occurred seve
ral limes to Gonrgo wich tboy call Bishop, fir
milar, an vich vulin out of order showed to me
wot a Grate man the cbeef wur, eV bow he
kiioV.ed (be ttUivalioii. And be tells tjio Con
gorogornshuii how they wr.s to woto, vich vus
very rite und proper. & likeyino, kind & pbli
ghi, but t nui panod to say, tho Kongorcgu
phun didn't underslKiid ovgrytjjh'o uu somo
\v\otcd Vbng, nn fibnto got, kind or tangled; und
fcomv got kind ur stubborn, and wen thoy ort
jto bev voted tboy only sctl "no" : vieli inont
they wus hostile to. tho* gentleman who wus
proposed, to sei vo'his Kuntry as apliorescd,
nnd the grate cheefs "eye" brot..all sccb round
to their censes. The Croat Cheif fixed them
buruin huninaris on tbo humble subscriber,
and the huiliblo mibstrihor kuowed that there
wur no phlinching opgspccted ?v him ; Them
fiery orbs said,, "young man dout try to pbool
this?itkarnt be did,"an the youngg man didn't
try to pbool him, but wot cd j ist as he std,
wich wus also right, nnd proper, and patriotic?.
Well, Bur, th'jir war another gciiplcmau, and
on my akin 1 wur told Iiis name wur MucKin
lay, and ho wur quite ball in tho head ; vich
wur kosed by too much studdy an much,
(jkratchin ; so I wus tole. But ho seemed to
be worry good at cull in uv names, puticlar
them names vich wo kuowed was good fur our
side, yicli ho called over several times in a
hnudiblo voice ; tin the Koporal at arms wur
instructed fur to vaik up all sich as wur sleepiu
on the benches, but not to disturb the slumbers
of any other pussins, by no means, and this
ere Secretary cum up to my ijoo uf n man of
bisncss. And theu thur wur another kullurd
puusili on the Ko'^ittee, and when L axed for
his name I wur tole it wur Mays; and I wur
tole he w*ts the Harber of this ore town, and
got his livin by a shavin uv tho vite Cokes and
cuttin uv the Demokrat.* here. An now ho ar
villi us. an ve hav run him fur the Legislature
an put him in that wcry admirable institushuu
of liirniu, all of wich shews bow Cute he is*
and touches this moral of grate bewty, That to
wit; A barbers ras?r might he sharp, but the
Radikio party arc o^iarper. I was tole furth
er, that our party pado hiiff lots of niuuncy
jist for sett in thar and lcokin on. an a disphiiu
of his cbjHsik fccchuics?an hoaiut had no oe
kashun for to shave any boddy in his shop no
more, wich shop Mr. Isaac hoy made to a Shoo
Shop, wer he turns out bouts on shoos to order,
ef the hash are put down, en no qucshuns air
axed.
An th< n thctyvur another Ktilled gentleman,
an wen 1 maid anxious inquires 1 wur ttdd it wur
Mister Sasl'iirtits.- He seemed to hev a good
deal to say on every topik. And he wur bound
to he herd. And the grate Chcef he listened
tor him with much appcrrent plcshurc and
then 1 kuowed Mister Snspurtus wur our man
S 1 tuk tor him and he wur a gay torkcr & scd
sum good at tickles an ho always stuk up to the
grate Cheefs doctrines wich wur that "every
boudy shod cum out far & t'quar on our phl.it
pliorui" wich Mistur Editur Dibble are the only
phlatphorui worth stand in on the obj'wshin to

my 1:idler d?iit uccllicr all of wich \Vill he
xplained I am told by the grate Chcef at sumo
future and more "convenient Sccsiii.
Li the pulpit thur ,var seme six or IS otln i
culled pussins. 1 wos told on my anxious in
ijureys thur wur Committees allso, but 1
i-bu'du! find out their nnims, and they didn't
do iiorthin but larf, and one feller he rolled his

Mister Dibble, Editor, of your phrcc and
equal paper, 1 didn't git tor this ere mcctiu
until they wur a sott?ti tu a wot in fur Sheriff
and tulhci' people' fur publik persishuns, tY. the
congirgashun were'ngiiin in fur to find out v.ho
wur the fit pussins to our party fur to uuini
nate, and that wus the time, Mr. Dibble Kd:
tur, wen the genus uv nur grate leeder showed
out. an he riz theu (and .ionic pbool seil he,
inecuin the grate Cheef, was no committee man,
& so couldn't speck, vich remark was not .
heeded in any vise) and he soys, "Thar ar no J
part}' kan run "unless ho cum up far cc square
on our platform," and tliar wur no use in uoiiii
nut in of any body as couldn't cum up "far &
squar," all which remarks wur jist & proper,
and showed th.e geiiiis of the man. md was
lodsid to r.ll mines showiii uv the principles ul
the party. And jist here stunhody, I hoy begins
fiir to .-bout out "Burnt District" and "Dork,"
and sich like, all uv vich I knotted uothin
about, but the Collud p?ssin, who guve me the
waluablo infiirmation iibuv m?nshttned scys to
me that these remarks vor made fur the beni
lit of uv the Chcef, who wur engaged in sum
way in spcculatin in bricks from the Burnt
revvins in Charlostun, vich ho wur buying up i
at a rcjucod ligguV, and likevisc in pork, from
the K until e and rural wilhtgcs, and that tin:
spccilatioil in bricks was a siutilll failure, and
tho Cheefs funds bavin bin tuk by the Soopcr
iutendent uf the Burnt District, the Cheef had
bin obliged fur to Icevo it take (ho baiikrup
ax uf Kdngriss, maid <\ purwidod in sich
cases, and ho had to wate up hair till and the
stork of bricks wur sold, and likewise pork
had fall much. Which pens uf informali m l
lcsccvcd with much grntitwod; ami thanked
the ctillid pusson above-incnshund fur the
sniuo. A'ell, the Chcef hcin sublime and se
rebn, he says, "now thar ar nimm as we wants
fur Shorif in this ere Decstrik," and he wur
jus the maim fur thop'hus and his imiin wus
not yet meiishuned. (Thur wur. sum men
shuncd alrcddy wich I will speak uv prcsintly,
.Mr. Dibble). Then, Mr. Editur, a radicklo,
he soys "lech out yuro man from the kornor,
Mr. I'rcsident" (meaning the Cheef). that
Radicle wur Mr. Qorgo, that the peoples call
Bishop, in a kind uv I'crmilur way. Then the
grait chefoj ho saifl, "my man ar Mr. Judge
Mooie from Charleston, ami ho aro a Souf
Carlina man, ef that bo wot you wont." But
it veems. Mister Dibble, they vantod snmthin
else, fur some impercut feller sings out, "vc
dout want no more uv your horrid niggers nur
furr?uora ; we's got horrid people enufi," vich
remark was signifibnt of much ignorant/..
And just here another phool, whothorl he wur

Old; Saddle-Skin, (meaning the Chcof agin)
and yjirt's Editors tor gether. Wc dont Vaiit
Mt) i^er paper hair." And, Mister Editur, I
blc?Ve that feller wot called the Choef, Ole '
Siidflo Skin, wur a Demokrat, en I think 1
nokB vim wen I sees him. Yell the Cheof, he
takes no notis, but ho, with his usual degni
tec, Jic says mildly, "vo vill ii?w perKode fur to

an pi! who want .my man, Mr. Judge to be the
.Sheriff, wili signify by shying ayee! !" So
every body, be sings out, aye !! j ist'us the
cheefVsed. Then the Chcof, he puts his finger
"in bit vo.-kit sleeve, and he Keys, "just for firm
sake,all opposed to Mr. Judge Moore yill sig

jiHt a? the cheefsod. Mo tlie choef besais the
mimes had ter be kalled to fine out if the
rudjeklcs wanted Mister Judge Moore or not."
Alldthcu the man wot has the ball on his bed.
ho darts ii caUui at a Mr. Dunkin, tV. a Mr.
Suhi'judy else, and a Mister Jones, en Jones
he lever wud anse.r until a big buck cullud
pussin bein strong on nur side, knowd how

"Alfiright.'? ((bat was one of our kandjdatcs
fur7>hcri2f)i| And then Itiggs frens. (he wos
imother uv our kadidates) they sing out.
"Wife man sed that Jones uiut here." Then |
anuthcr bulled pussen who didn't lu v the 1st

1st hieushund cullud pussen, wich I has stated
as ?Culliu '?Albright," he ses, "that damned

& very harsh, and wos scworely reproved by
the ( beef with his i's. and then. Mister Edi
tur,:thc election went on sorcenly, and wen
the' na'm.s wer k.mated, it war that Mr.
Judge More wur the favorite by 0 wotcs, ::nd
Mr. lliggs (who 1 lneiishund in a few lines

by 2d votes. So ball hod, be ses '.-ich are. the re
