LEGISLATIVE TICKET.

We present 10 the voters Of Lowndes Coun-
~ a ticket Of bOnd-paying candidates for the
Legislature, which seems to be The one most
generally acceptable to The bond paying party
Of this county.
We are authorised to say that Mr.. Roby,
and DR.. Earle, who had declared themselves
candidates to represent the County, have with
drawn from the canvass with ;he view Of
throwing their support in favor Of this ticket
MIR. Payne's friends have also Withdrawn his
name with the same object.
We hope that this ticket win meet a cordial
support from all, who are sincerely opposed 10
the abominable doctrine Of Reputation. II
presents the only possible chance Of defeating
that party, against whose principlesiand meas
ures we have been so earnestly contending,
throughout this State; the issue has been
made up between the opposing parties upon
the doctrine Of Reputation; there is no way
Of throwing that question in the back ground;
it ldlhe prominent one before the people at this
time, and the elections viii be made 10 turn
upon il. II the Regulators succeed, then
victory will be proclaimed as the triumph Of
Reputation; If the opposits party succeed,
measures will be taken to husband the resour-
ces ofour State for the payment Of It's public
Indebtedness, and the rohefof its name from
that foul and dishonorabIe stigma, which has
covered her citizens with modification and
shame and is operating with such baneful infu.
ence upon al her best and most permanent m
terests.
Under these circumstances wo hope that
there, viii be . cordial and concerted action
among all the bond payers Of this county 10
endeayor, BY throwing their entire strength
with concentrated force upon this ticket, 10
bury under its own ignominy the doctrine o.
Reputation ia a0ld LOiVndes," We hope
that they will make al minor considerations
yield to this higher and more important duty.
We sincerely hope that they win not allow
their strength, which is amply sufficient 10 Sc

They are able 10 succeed, Il they will. Bat
they divide, If they scatter their votes up0f
candidates, who have not the most remote
probability Of being elected, they destroy then
own weight and mar their own prospects o
success.
Ia regard to the candidates, whose name
are announced in the ticket for the Legisla'
fuse, it is almost needless to say anything
They are generally known throughout The
County as well qualified for the station, FOL
which they are candidates.
Mr.. Jno. N. Barksdale is q gentleman ofre
markedly fine talents and highly culdvste'
mind A more modest, unassuming and wor
thy member Of society we do not know within
the range Of our acquaintance.
Mr.. Bouchelle is wen known Throughout
the county for the eloquence and ability az
speaker. And Mr.. Thompson, who is planter
is universally esteemsd as gentleman ofgrea
moral worth, excellent sense. and unimpeach
able character.
