method of communicating with you.
Having accepted the nomination tendered
me, on the 15th, by your convention, it is
duty to energize, if possible, ail a vaila-
ble resources; and to do this, your active
and energetic co-operation will be absolutely
necessary. The race is not mine, but yours j
the standard is yours, the cause yours and
the glory or shame of success or defeat yours.
You have only selected me to march at the
head of your columns and bear your ban¬
ner, and it is as much your duty to stand
by, encourage, support and defend your
colors and color bearer, as it is his to carry
it to the front and flaunt in the face of the
enemy.
The vote and the active agency of every
man will be required—you know the strength,
corruption and unscrupulousness of the ele-1
ent that opposes you, and you are called
upon to overcome it, or again go without
representation in the State Senate.
Below you will observe the action of your
convention, and the address of the commit¬
tee, and I respectfully appeal to you for a
vigorous campaign, and a full vote on Mon¬
day, the 4th of March.
Your obedient servant,
CAREY W. STYLES.

To the Democratic Voters of the 10th Sen¬
atorial District.
Your Delegates from the counties of Dough-
eaty, Lee and Worth, by previous appoint¬
ment assembled in this place to-day, and nom¬
inated Col Carey W. Styles, as a candidate
for the Senate to fill the vacancy occasioned
by the resignation of Mr. F. 0. Welch
The undersigned were appointed a commit¬
tee to announce the action of your conven^
tion, and to urge upon the people of the Dis¬
trict, the importance and necessity of a
general attendance at the election on the 4th
of March next.
It would seem an act of supererogation to
urge upon a people, that have been the vic¬
tims of misrule and misrepresentation so
long', the necessity of an effort for self pres¬
ervation,
We can scarcely think that there is a Demo¬
cratic voter in the entire district, who will be
so listless, indifferent or unpatriotic as not
to poll his vote on 4th of March next, against
radicalism, and who will not feel it to be his
duty to do all in his power to triumphantly
elect the nominee of your convention.
Col. Carey W- Styles is eminently fit for
the position by birth, raising and education.
He has been your unflinching advocate and
standard bearer in many hard faught con¬
flicts in the past, and deserves at your hands
a cheerful, cordial, and united support.—
Le. every one come to the polls on the 4th of
March next, and by securing his election
have again, "as in days of yore," an able
and patriotic Representative*
Respectfully,
Your Obd't Servants,
