To She Demo cracy of Cocsa.

election. defeat will be the conse
quence, and good old Coosa, the demo,
cratic fig county in South Alabama, be
represented by d, least one, II moi two
WINGS, inihe mex; Legislature. There
is not candidate or a democratic clti
zen, bui would be glad to adopt some
plan upon which would bring about I
harmonious feeling and aciicn. Anc
we are satisfied that some plan is neces
sary for the perpeuation oi the democ
racy in Coosa. J! is beyond an mpos
sibility for the candidates to arrange il
among themselves, and consequently, i
is our wish, as disnterested individual
TO suggest a plan directly 10 the cit
liens Of The county. and in doing so
We have no idea TO the promotion OIL
any one man over another, but for the
good Of the party, and we wish the peo-
pie 10 act promptly on the matter. This
plan We think would be to open boxes
at each precinct IN the county, managed
by such men as would conduct the bal,
loling fairly and correctly, and let those
managers al each precinct appoint some
suitable person to make a return Of the
result Of the number OF votes TO the
Sheriff and Circuit Clerk OF Rockford,
and the returning Off sers, Sheriff and
Clerk count the vote, and the Two can.
didates receiving the largest number Of
votes, become the candidates for the de-
mocralic sutf'ages OF the August elec~
tion-lhose receiving minority vote
to acquiese and support those the people
select in tits way.
We have conversed with a number of
democrats in the county, and With some
of The Candidates, and but one.senliment
seems TO prevail, and that is, for the
people TO act on the matter as soon as
possible. 1t is supposed that the wings
will run but one candidate, and with the
HuuIUCl vi QCttONI dtIC GuUuluultS SLOW
before the good people OF Coosa, we
cannot hope for the election Of but one.
And consequently it behooyes avery de-
mocratto be up and moving, and we think
this plan should be entered into as soon
as possible. II such a proposition
should meet with the appreciation of the
people, We would propose that Satur-
day, the I'm dug Of July, be agreed up
on to hold said election, for the selection
of two individuals to be candidates for
Representatives,, ard We would propose
that the following gentlemen act as
managers at their respective precincts !;
should it not be convenient Tor all OF
them 10 ACT, that some efficient demo-
Gratis would act IN their stead, seeing
that those persons giving in votes We're
democrats, and that it be strict party
vote. So far as we have heen able TO
ascertainthe following gentlemen would,
having a great eye 10 the interest of the
party, readily act;
Al Rockford.-Asa Edwards, E Pond
and s J Elendicb.
Soeapatoy-R l. Lauderdale, L Bar
berry and John Gnddis.
Atkin'.-siephen I Hughes, John
Mufkleralh and Joseph LauderdaIe.
Lindsey's.-B + Cleveland, John D
Howell and Alex Logan.
Cross. Evan Caf,y, J G Dent and J
J Richards.
Pecke'acOod.-Thomas Jordan, Aaron
Yates and John Cooper.
Smiih's.-JoeI Gulledge, John Warner
and J @ Sewel.
Wotls--J A Wall, E l. Buyke
and Walter Knight, Sr.
Wetpmpka.--Col B S Griffin, VIM J
Maslin and w w Waller.
Broaoa's.-rhomas Mccain, John D
Leicher and Joseph B Parker.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Robbins, Sr, w
Townsend and Rigion Edwards.
To satisfy the people whether they
would abide By such decision. we
would request every gentleman who is
a candidate, 10 give US an assent or dis
sent to or against the plan as soon as
possible. 1t is course that has been
pursued on former occasions, in other
counties, and has resulted well, and we
cannot discover any thing wrong in it,
nor would it, We think, be deviating from
the true principles of democracy. We
propose this plan for the good of the
party, and We do hope that the demo-
cratic people Of Coosa will readily res
pond tc IT,
