but swell the note, as it echoes it on to COM
ing generations.
We give place to-day to the address d
Mr.. Martin. a candidate for the sheriftalty
of Lincoln county, though we must be per-
mitted to say that we deeply deplore the
state of feeling now existing between the
democrats of that county. If things are
permitted to progress as they have COM
menced, defeat, inevitable defeat will be
the consequence. We hope however, for
the honor of the county, which has hitherto
stood firm in the democratic line, that the
difficulty will yet be adjusted. Let them
lay aside their p~rejudices, and act upon the
Clorious motto, '%'union, concession, har-
mony. everything for the cause, and moth
ing for men," Let elimination and recrim-
~ination cease; or a breach will be made
which time will scarcely close. 1t is not
our purpose to lay the blame wholly upon
the friends Of either aspirant; but VIC will
say that there isa great fault somewhere,
which should be corrected immediately,
lest weakened by their own struggles with
each other, they all eventually fall a prey,
to their old cnemirs-the Wings.
For the candidates themselves We have
the highest respect. Mr.. Emerson is an
old democrat, we'll known to the citizens Of
the county; and Mr.. Martin is a young man
of business habits, and good qualifications,
bold and open in his course, and warm and
ardent IN his attachment to his fIiends.-
Either would make Il good Sheriff, but ii
both persist in running, neither can be Sher-
liE. That is not all-the feelings Of their
friends will become 50 much excited in the
struggle, that it will be Il serious injury to
the party for years to come; if indeed the
injury should ever be entirely removed
We hope therefore that some compromise
NAV vet be made, that the difficulty may be
settled in some way, which will give salts
faction to all concerned.
We take the following from the Reveille
extra of the 18th inst.
