Above you see the Ticket put in nomina-
tion by the Democratic Convention. This
ticket has been before the people for two
weeks, and they have had time to consider it.
Are the candidates who are here presented
worthy Of your sufffages? Are they not all
democrats, tried and true9 Are they not all
capable and honest? They are. Then let
every democrat buckle on his armor and pre-
pare for the contest. 1t is not for the suc>
cess of these men alone that we contend. IT
is for the triumph of Democratic over federal
principles-of truth over error--of equality
over oppression. Whether capitalists shall
be exempt from the burthens of government
and permitted to prey upon and defraud the
people out of their hard earnings or not, are
the questions. 1.-THE democracy will but be
united, vigilent and active, we believe they
will succeed. Let every man then 60 forth

We are accused of having abandoned the
issues upon which the contest this fall is to
be conducted. Is it true? No. The demo-
Gratis here, as elsewhere have avowed them>
selves opposed 10 the unjust and partial leg
islation of last winter, and that is their pre-
sent ground. And what other matters enter
into the contest this fall? What issues have
the Democratic party abandoned? Was it
necessary that they should go over the whole
ground Of nation politics and approve of that
which they considered right and condemn the
wrong? Was it necessary, in order to make
up the issues upon which this campaign is
to be conduc ted, that they should resolve their
disgust and disapproval of the Parkersburgh
kidnapping, and the Lexington outrage? That
they should avow themselves opposed to the
dismemberment of Portage County "a meas

O. Last week, in short paragraph which
we appended to the remarks of the Cleveland
.Americam, in relation Of Mr.. Giddiags and
the disunionists, we referred to the fact that
while the rear guard of Miss Kelly's Co. were
in this place person who differed in opinion
from this company. was Kissed down for dar-
ing to express that difference, and charged the
fact upon the Congressman of this District
and some of his followers. We made this
charge from what we heard at the time.-
Since that time the dignitary referred to has
called upon us and denied the charge and
pronounced it utterly false. We do not knou
it to be true as him, but that there ,oas hiss

sonal and political friends of that gentleman
we are certain-but, as he contends that he
did not participate in it, but Ldiscountenanced

were mistaken in making that charge against
him. There is nothing which we do more
readily than retract a charge which is made
falsely against one of our fellow citizens,
when we have made it. .. l..t
