be singular, indeed, if itwerc so, but il is
not so. Michael Ryan, though young, has
raised himself, by the force of his talents
and unwearied industry atone, to a station
of influence and respect among his fellow
men, while others have been id!ing away
their time in the arts Of The demagogue to
acquire power, he, with steady, patient
and laborious though uupretcnding INDUS
try, has been storing his mind with the
materials that should enable him TO de-
serve it. Such is Michael Ryan, and
such. NV fellow citizens, whether elected
or defeated uou will, and some Of those
who. from motives of their own. oppose
him to their regret, will hereafter find him.
But she is not naturuized citizen of the
Uniled States" il is said Neither is his
oppopent. nor he who wished to be his
opponent, and why is he not! Because
the laws of his country recognize him as
clothed with all the privileges, and sub
iect to all the duties, of natural born ci-
tizcn, as much as they do Mr.. Mason, or
Air. stad,Ien, or my commercial friend
who sent you the cpis!lc greeting, signed
Cleon.
Such are The men, my fellow ciliZehs,
nominated by the democratic convention
of the La Sale district, for their repre-
sentalives and senator, and such is the
evidence which TIER characters furnish OF
the character of the convention which no.
minated them. That convention consist
ed of more than ninety members, coming
from and representing every precinct IN
The district. Strange would IT be, indeed,
if the influence of"liilcralc party panpers
and corrupt politicians could thus extend
itself to every portion of the district, and
cheat intelligence Of its perceptions and
honesty of its strength Still more sad
would it be, if we were all liIlterate and
corrupt together, and, in our ignorance
and corruption, nominated ticket with
which we all were suited ourselves, when,
lamcntablc to say, we did not know that
the few disappointed ones were wiser and
better than ourselves! Thank God, now
ever, we will remember them, and see
that they have their just rewards hcreat'
ter.
And now, my fellow citizens, itreman'
for you to decide whether the ticket thus
nominated by yoWscfCeS, composed o
men as good and honorable as any among
you, selected by those whom you cnlrns

them 10 be 50, shall be elected or not |
you think that it is just to 'hem' If YOU
think it is honorable to yourselves

welfare OF youl country to abandon then
