MUNICIPAL NOMINATIONS. The two parties have
made their nominations respectively for municipal officers
for the year ensuing We say The tIcO parties, for al'
though the ticket opposed to the Free Soil nominations
is called the Citizens Ticket" yetit very well known,
that the movement which has led to It's nomination, was
essentially one ofthe Taylor party, and that the DEM
ocrats have only TO mied extent, urited with it, or
formed it, We shall see how far they can be brought
into its support, and whether they will be willing to cons
tribute toward the sustaining ofhose men, ofwhose bear
ing toward them we have, heretofore heard SO much
complaint BY emitting with them in this movement There
are names on the ticket, of persons of whom we had
hoped they would not suffer themselves TO placed in OPP
position TO the Free Soil partyand we think they have
made mistake in dong it; yet the right of Judgement
in the premises their own, and we have no complaint
10 make. Time will perhaps show whether they have
placed themselves in the hands of their friends or their
enemies and whether they have permitted themselves
10 be used merely accomplish the selfish purposes oil
those who had no good will toward them, in what they
have done.
In relation to the two tickets, have no nvldous
comparison to make. So far talent and personal in
egrity are concerned no reasonable objection be
made to either and in all that constitutes fitness for the
Offices the Free Soil ticket is admirably selected, and
emineny worthy the support of the reemen of the city.
But, in determining which ticket 10 support we should
look the principles they respectively represent The
Free Soil ticket the Representative OF The progressive
spuit ofthe age of enlightened liberty of humanity, and
of true democracy The " Citizens" ticket is the
preventative OF hunkerism of privilege, of cast of as
tocracy We do not mean TO be understood that each
individual of the ticket embodsS the qualities OF which
we consider the tickets The representatives Far from
it. But when look their composition respectively
and consider particularly the constituency by which each
has been brought forward and will be sustained who will
question that we have rightly characterised them.
Those therefore, who consider Of more con-
sequence than things souls more to be cared for than
dollars liberty priceless inheritance than proper
ty talent fidelity and integrity more 10 be regarded in the
community than prescription privilege, and parentage
those who would move onward, rather than stand
rather than the past who would egslae for the equal
benefit ofa rather than for The privileged ew-all these
should sustain the Free Soil ticket tending 10 give
permanency and TO the principles they prof S.
The auguries all favorable to our ticket. The
Free Soil men, SO far as learn are united in il ,
TO a man, and many who have never identified then,>
selves with the party prepared give it cordial
support Yet, we should remember that we have the
wealth of the city and the official influence against US
and know not what appliances will be brought to bear
the election. We should therefore, be prepared for
any, event and do all that brave hearts and determined
spirits can do 10 uphold good cause.
