THE APPROACHING ELECTION.

THE AffhOhChlNG ELECllON.
Il must now be obvious to the Wing and
bond paying Democratic parties, that there is
bui one chance presented to them Of defeating
The repudiating ticket for the Legislature in
this county; and that is by laying aside their
former political differences and uniting up
on the most available candidates that are
presented for their choice. The question Of
Reputation has become the absorbing one in
the politicul contests Of this State; the repudi-
ators have nominated their candidates with
exclusive reference 20 il, and IN some counties,
for instance in Warren, where there is an over
whelming Wing majority the repudators have
brought forward for the legislature, men, who
call themselves Wings and support the doc
trine Of reputation Under these circumstan-
ces il becomes the duty ofall who are sincere.

will be larger meeting of the whigs OF the
