The Election--Sfate Ticket.
We are very much pleased With the unani-
nifty Of feeling that pervades that ranks Of the
Democracy Of tho North, upon the subject of
the election Of the Board Of Public Works.
We can assure our friends at the South, that
they may rely upon tho full strength of the
Northern Democratic vote
The falsehoods that have been put in circu-
lation by the Telegraph, Of this city, with re-;
gard 10 Col Patterson, will have no other effect
than to make the conductors of that paper,
whoever they may be, appear ridicul GUS in the
eyes Of honest men. This is an old trick Of
Whiggery. just upon the eve Of an election,
they are ready with some manufactured etate-
ment, - false as is futile, with the hope of
dampening theardor Of Democracy, or winning
thent to the support Of their own ticket. Such

THE SECRETARY OF THE BOARD.
We do not presume that anything we can
say in favour of the Democratic Candidate
fer the Secretaryship Of the Board Of Public
Works willin the least degree add to the
popularity of that individual, or increase
the vote he is sure to get upon the day ofthe
election.
Jesse Williams is well known to the
Democrats the north Of Iowa, and no
man, claiming the proud appellation Of
DEmocaAr. and desiring to bestow his suf-
fIage upon one who has ever been identified
with tbe.principles of that party. and who
has stood firm in the support of those prin-
ctples. since the earliest organization Of the
party in Iowa, will fail to be at TIE polls, Oh
Monday next.
We have one question to ask our whig
friends, upon the subject Oft this Secretary
ship. Who is Mr.. Allison, The man you
have upon your ticket as Candidate for this
office! You answer, he was member OIL
the last Legislature, true, but how did he
get there! By deceiving the very party to
whom he owed the honor of nomination
and election. A new conner in the county
| of Monroe, and bel ne on adept in playing
the part of ''all things to all men," he man
aged to create for himself degree Of per
sonal popularity, Of which the Wing Con.
vention saw fit to avail themselves, and
brought him out as their Candidate, for the
legislature. He was elected, as matter Of
course, the county Of his residence having
at that time q wing majority. After his
election, grown bold from the Aattcr::;,i,r at.

.on!ions thai mad been thus unexpectedly
heaped upon him, he comes out and declares
his real opinions upon the subject of politics

his influence to the help of the traitor Mar
