Pledges were gave and alliances were
formed, and scheme of the most dis
graceful bargaining, entered into to defeat
the democratic ticket; but after all the
disbanding of parties they only succeeded
in electing the abolition candidates for
sheriff and coroner. The double shuttle
game al Plainfeld, where our wing friends
sold themselves bodily, displays the most
hyPocritical sycophancy, and their utter
want of principle. When we review the
different schemes that our opponents re-
sorted to, to elect their candidates, they
are welcome to all the honors they have
acquired in the contest.
In connection with this subject, we will
take the liberty of referring to the causes
which have led to our partial defeat in. this
county. Our candidate for sheriff, James
Brodie, was defeated by portion of our
party casting their votes for a third
man. In this manner, professed demo

tionists, wings and disafected, brought
about this result. Whatever may have
been the first cause ofthe difficulties which
exist in the democratic party in the coun-

as to the effects resulting therefrom. Our
opponents, by minority vote, have sue

ocrats be their own enemies? Is there
nothing to be gained by securing the as.
tendency of democratic principles? Let
those who have been instrumental in
keeping alive this outrage upon all that is
valuable in the democratic creed, ask
themselves what they expect to gain by
such course. We trust that every dem
ocrat, and we are confident that every
true democrat will learn wisdom from the
past. If democrats set any value on their
political faith, they should not permit
themselves to be influenced by few pro-
tessed democrats, who il seems have been
seized with a madness, to an open war;
fare upon democratic men and measures.
We hope better things for the future. aa4
