not fail to attend To the election on Mon
day. 1t would be an objectionable re-
missness on their part if the wings should
be permitted to retain majority in our

less the democrats sir themselves. They
are not asleep, and every lille advantage
will be turned TO account. The man the
democrats have pu, in nomination is adj
mi,ted 10 be uneXceptiopable. lie is in
dustrous, honest, competent, and not OBJ
Jectionable on account Of location. His
defeat would be reproach to the demo-
cratic party Of this county, and might
not be unattended with untoward conse.
quences in lis effect on contests Of more
importance hereafter.
