You will have perceived that our party IN this coun
ty have taken ncpent steps for the purpose OF party
organization and concert OF effort. For years past
this county hes been the battle ground OF the most
closely and warmly contested elections. The wings
have resoried t, every exPedent winch ingenuity couio
conceive, cunning devise, means apply, IN order 10
carry the county Up to this PERIOD their efforts have
been boldly and fearessy met and bsiiled, Their nge-
nu,ty defeated, and their means ds.egarded-the
principles of Taylor maintained and vindcated by The
verdict of the people at the ballot box, and Wmggery
rejected The purity and good Of the people have
heretofore proved too stern and unyeldng be
come either by sophisry or humbng Log CABIN, hard
cider ash pone meal bags and null boys have lost their
enchantment to the Democracy OF Caroline. Our VIC
tories though hardly fought, have been trlumphantly
and thoroughly won The Democracy is IN the asceh-
dent, and our enemies defeated
But now, that We have boldly sustained our prncl-
PIES and vanqushed our political opponents, are we
not in the most imminent danger OF vanquishing our
selves, The Wings have their candidate IN Inc hed
Andrew S. Broaddus bold, fearless, and popular re-.
deral politician. With his large family conne1ion, and
his tact ard skill at eectoneerng, he will be hard to
beat by our strongest and most efficient man. we have
now the field two distinguished Democrats-Colonei
Washington and Colonel White-5oth running upon
the Democratic ticket. The majority of Col Washing
ton, when he ran single banded against Broaddus, did
not exceed nine votes Both of these gentlemen have
their friends, and their strong claims To our sup
port But 10 run BOTH is defeat both; and to be de-
eaed lay PROSTATE for years our political primer
Piles, and unwisey give away our ascendancy
In this state Of things what ara we The people 10 do:
Are We tamely 10 stand by and suffer ourselves TO be
beaten by default, by the conflicting aspirations and
pre,ensions of two very worthy gentlemen: mink
not Should not raher, without meaning The
disrespect dispararement oil the claims oil
either of the gentlemen, take The matter into our own
ina nds at our next court, select of the two gentle
men, or some other distinguished Democrat OF the coun-
ty The voice of patriotsln the voice OF precedent
and the prospect of success, strongly recommend 'his
course
We hive long been acquainted with these two gentle
men We have had opportunities OF knowing Their
stern devotion to Democratic principles lhey hnVe
stood by their principles in the darkest hours oil our po-
ltcal conflicts and vindcaed them at The ballot box
That they are patriots, who can doubt: we MINK,
therefore, we hazard nothing in saying that either oil
these gentlemen, whenever The voice OF lhe Demo-
cratic party can clearly asceraned, VIII yield Their
prelenslon and cordially and warmly support whoever
may be selected by the party.
Let us then commune together at our next court,
and select individual who concentrate The whole
Democratic strength-upon whom all may cordially

Of The county, that shall be beaten, unless The DIS
sensons in ranks be healed, and greater de-
gree of zeal can be impaired TO friends There lie
too much apathy amongst u.s. We need rousing to the
task before us, and more concert and unahmy OF ac-
ton. 1t is earnestly hoped, that the Republicans oil
the county will meet al the next court, and organize
themselves for the approaching Spring aud Fall cleo

the matter amongst the members OF The party. Let
