To Me Voters Of Dies NIoines.

upon W say WHICH you Will CnOSes
The wing and free soil ticket is as follows:
For SaerU-Richard Noble.
For Recorder sc.-william Sunderland.
For Judge Of Probaie-John Mcclure.
For County Commissioners-In the South district,
c. Carnage; and II. B. Ware, in place Of Coolbaugh,
resigned.
For County Commssione,s Clerks. D. colburn.
For Coroner-Joseph Beyles.
For County Sa,veyor-Oliver Hall.
For Prosecuting Anorney-Timothy B. Croker.
All the candidates upon this ticket are good men,
and abundantly able to discharge the duties of their
respective Offices; and they are deserving of the
freemen of Des Mones.
The ticket presented by the late packed con VEN
ton Of loco focos is creditable TO them, and we do
not care to villify them but ask you to remem-
Der that the affairs of our county have been for
years in the hands Of opponents and we are still
some fourteen thousand dollars in debt, and still
without any court house or the means Of building
one. Nothing but bad management could account
for this state of things; for our county revenue
honestly collected and accounted for should long
since have cleared us from debt.
Nothing but radical change Of men will bring
US out. These are not times Of party excitement.
and we therefore appeal with confidence to men of
both parties to join in efecting this change. To
our free soil friends, we say come up to the work
as the friends of the couny-jon US and elect this
ucket and, at least, let us in harmony make an eff
fort for reform. Efforts will be made to draw from
US the votes Of wings; because we are willing to
cooperate with others on the great platform of uni
sersal ireedom We steadfasly adhere to the rights
oi the STATES individually but willing to ex-
empt our National Capitalize Emporium of Free
dom for the first republic Of earth-where the rights
OF man were first known-adv ocated-an triumpb-
ed-from tho stain Of human bondage and oppres-
sion. To this length we go, and although our con.
troversy in August, is not necessarily poyty
one, there is no reason why wings, free sellers and
democrats should not Join in the work OF reform
The ticket presented to US by our opponents is
exceedingly weak-they are not all men Of the peo-
pies but the choice Of clique of hot headed poli-
ucians-caucused out after months of mannuyre
and management by the &c hosters', who kent these
candidates IN training: and even then got their
nomination BY management and against the wish
anu expectation Of the great body of the democracy
Let us then join in teaching the wholesome les
sons-that the county affairs cannot be msmana-
ged for years without accountability in this
Tree country-one set of officials cannot train IN
and tutor another set to fill their places-substtu-
ting new, untried, Irresponsible for
OLD tried and responsible citizens and democrats.
Board Of Public Works.
We hope our friends throughout the county will
turn out to man, not only to give the Wing Union
county ticket hoist, but also to give Mexican, Al
iison and Stewart majority against the notorious
Tnc
Patterson's connection with the bribery case-,f
they do not we can supply them with pamphlets to
prove it-all know Jesse Williams, likewise. Gil.
lesr'e formerly lived in Louisa and was known as
card player and an Incorporate man.
Mexican is gentleman emncntly qualified for the
Presidency Of the Board. Even loco focos had such
confidence in his capacity and integrity as to ap-
point and retain him chief engineer to survey the
route for the proposed Dubuque and Keokuk rail
road He IS an upright gentleman, against whom
even loco focoism itself has not yet dared to saw
aughs. We hope all honest men will vote for him
in preference to the incompetent Bribery Patterson
The other two candidates, Allison and Stewart,
are equally deserving Of the sufirages of the whole
people, compared with their opponents.
We need reform in this matter as much as We
do in the county officers. The present Board were
all candidates before the late loco foco State Con.
vention, but it well known that they had mis-
managed the affairs Of that important undertaking,
their doings could not be hid. They all thrown
overheard and an entire set of candidates were
selected This, Of itself, frima facie evidence
that there was something rotten in Denmark
Now we want to see Mexican, Allison and stewart
elected, so that this mismanagement may be pointed
out and remedied.
70 We would call attention to the Produce, Com
mission and Forwarding card of Messrs ]. McTAprN
