the influence the result will exercise OH the No
veriber election will be of such character, tina,
the ascendency Of Democratic principles, by an
election Of majority of Democrats to both bran
ches Of our State Legislature, demands the uni
ted strength Of the Democratic party, and the
sacrifice of all and every feeling of personal
character, entertained for either Of the Wing can
didatcs. We should remember that in this con-
test, PRINCIPLES arc involved, and not MEN. II
we gain the ascendcncy at the August election,

more easily achieved.

coming election, on account Of the influence the
result will exercise on ncighboring states, and in
particular in the East. Illinois and Indiana are

Religion is the best armor; but the worst

but giving wisely. He who makes an
idol of his interest, will make a martyr of
his own integrity.
