OUR CANDIDATES.


democrat. We have President or Governor to bal
lot for hut we have other officers equally important to
the citizens orthis county. We have two Represents
tives, Sheriff, Treasurer, Commissioner and Prosscu-
ting Attorney And it becomes the duty oievery voter
10 ask himself who the best men whether the con"
vention has exercised proper degree of caution in &C.
ecng the best men, hoth as 10 qualifications Tor om-
CO. and adherence those great Democratic principles
which never change-whiCh are tho same to-day as
forty years ago.
That The Convention had the welfare Of those mmu-
,utable principles heart when they selected the pres
en ticket no acquainted with the men m thattlck-
et can deub and that they will if elected, do their du-
ty as officers as nen Of principle, vrtuous citizens,
we have every assurances
It's not our intention TO discuss the merits of the can
dstes selected by both paes but merely to glance at
aud comlare the men who are ashing the sufrages OF
their feIlw citizens. FIRST. as tn Representatives.
Mr.. Mcconnell has long been known ms Democrat
ofthe saightest Sect well verSed in the laws by which
our government is udminslered decidedly opposed to
National Bank, to The present system of banking in
this State, and as lsgisatur would advocate such
measures as would bring about thorough Reform in
the currency, making banks honest by allowing them
defect in the system. Bankers are privileged order,
above the law which binds individuals and that prvi.
lege must he curlaled before you make them hon.
est, or have sound steady currency.
Mr. Iockubery represented this county last session.
His votes on all occasions show him to be with the de-
mocracy, in favor of thorough Bank Reform. lie is
plain honest mechanic, Lo Office seeker, and man
universally respected wherever known.
The Federaiss owing to the disruption Of their Par-
tv, have neglected yet to nominate but one candl'
date for the Legislature That man is Dr. Bennett a
hrawlmg politician and hungry Office seeker. Hs is III
favor of the present Banking system, and would il
in The Legislature, vote for increasing the institutions
which have derungsd the currency, swinded the labor
ing classes, corrupted the public morals and disgraced
the State. He is the DR.. Bennett who peddled
Oge's Lies last summer, bywhich SO many were de-
crved. The same man who told the people Van Bu-
rem had "Golden Sofas" gold spoons &c. This fact
should be enough to kill him in the estimation ofal hon
est men, Cor so utterly untrre all these assertions,
that the Wing Congress had to appropriate thousands Of
dollars to make the Presidents house comfortable
for Gen. Harrison to 1.-Two in.
The Democratic candidate for Sheriff. is an unfirch-
ing democrat, an old Jackson man. and we believe
eeN''so''
whipped the British at New Orleans. He is an exps-
rienced man, polite and urbans in his Manners as his
friends will testify on the 13lh ofOctober.
The Wing candidate is man who already holds a
fat ofice--is put forward bya Junto in Philadelphia,
10 subseve their interests at the expense and sacrifice
gilmore experienced members tho whg party has not
single claim for the ofice-except that ofbeng clev-
or fellow The practice of rolling men out Of one fat
office into another 10 not consistent with Republic
can form efgovsrnment.
For Treasurer we want man who possesses not on-
lythe necessary political qualifications, but also those
moral traits of character, that will teach him to act hon-
esty and not become defauer--by using the county
funds in specuations. We want man who will not
make his office political engine ofcorrupon and Op.
preston for party purposes. We want man who will
not make some pay taxes in specie, while others can
get off by paying paper, merely TO crafty party preu-
dices. "Ail men are born equal, endowed with equal
privileges" We want man who will not extort spe-
Gle from the people, and then sell it at premium, pock
etthe profits and pay bank paper into the Treasury.
Lastly we want man honest capable, intelligent and
imbued with respect for his fellow men, of whatever
party they may belong. In Thomas J. Frazier, the
people will find such a
NSSS
any body else.
The democratic candidate for Commissioner is too
well known to need any thing from u.s. We an'lcl'
pate for him triumphant reelection.
Our candidate for Prosecutor is also worthy DEM
OCrat and merits the united support othe Democracy
On the whole we have decidy the stronges: ticket
formed in the county for a number ofyears. And we
call on the democracy in the name of the great Father
sfour Independence 10 up nobly TO their support
the day Of election Our cause is just and can neY
ef perish. Though we were defeated last fall, it was
but temporary. Whole States again wheeling into
he democratic ranks. Before year rolls round, the
star of Democracy will shine brighter than ever We
have carried Maine by 10000 majority, and New York
Pennsyvania and Ohio, will follow in the tram. We
thall the nextFederal majority in Congress repre-
setting the minority oftho poople Federalism is sink
ing by the Of overuling Providence and can nev
er rise again. Then Democrats be- firm uctise, united
vigorous, in your duty and the morning of,he I4th Of
October, will bring you glorious victory.
