, act in conjunction with the Democratic party of
I'd Northumberland county, in giving our hearty
lpport to the regularly nominated ticket, made at
unbury on the 9th of August, according to a call
/ the Standing Committee; though many of us
eing farmers, do regret being called from home at
lis time to attend 10 the duties Of the Democratic
arty, but seeing the course pursued by tie Milton
edger, aided by a few canal cricers and their sa-
elites, in trying to distract the Democratic party,
We feel it our duty to inform those officers that they
ire the servants Of the public instead of being the
masters and directors OF the people. And therefore
