THE ELECTION.

Every possible art and trick which political
ingenuity can devise, will be resorted to, to
place the pending election on some ground
other-.han the true one on which it should be
placed .--that ofan attempt by the Jackson party
to elevate themselves to power, and to PROSTATE
the Republican party which now has the ascend
ancy-to produce arevolution in the State-to
displace those in whom the people have long
had confidence, and in their places to substitute
those changelings, who, to answer their own
selfish purposes, have ever been ready to put on
the livery Of any man or party, and whose only
hope of rising, lies, not in dependence on their
own merits, but on the influence of party disci-
pline. To effect their object, local antipathies
will be infamed in one place, personal hostility
in another, and sectarian prejudices in a third
according as the persons to be operated upon,
may be affected by enc or the other of these
considerations To some it will be represented
that Judge Morton is "the republican candi-
date )" but few, it is believed, will be duped by
this artlfce. If we look at the records of for.
mer years, which shall we find to have been the
most efficient advocate of republicanism, and
republican principles, Gov. Lincoln or Judge
Morton' Nc one will pretend to give the pre-
cedence to the latter If, then, he has any pc
euIiar claims to that appellation, it is because
he is supported by such republicans as Gen.
Lyman and Alden Bradford in Suffolk, Francis
Baylies and Lemuel Williams, ir in Bristol, and
Andrew H. Ward and Ephraim NJ Cunning
ham in Worcester while the old pillars of
Democracy, George Blake, Gen. Dearborn,
Perez Morton, Nathaniel Silsbee, Edmund Cush
lng, James Fowler, Henry Shaw, and host of
others, are the advocates and supporters of
Gov. Lincoln. We believe the people of this
County are too intelligent, and too well inform.
ed, to be duped by any such shallow articles
They will be disposed to put the election on its
true ground, as question of principle, as a con.
troversy between those who would maintain the
good order which has long been the character
istIc Of the people of the State, and those who
would introduce disorder and anarchy into our
councils, and place us in the degraded and de-
plorabe situation, into which the State of
Maine has been threwn by the influence of
Jarksonism in that State. The people of this
County, when question Of principle is at stake,
If they have local or personal antipathies know
well how to sacrifice them on the altar of nub.
lic good they have done il once, and again
and they have not less patriotism now than on
former occasions. They will come forth in
their strength, and put to shame those who IL
pei them by supposing that any minor cause is
sutneient to array them on the side of disorder
and civil misrule.
