vote for somebody. Personally, we wish every man
would vote our ticket nasnuch as we believe the men

election comes but once three years. and that the Of
fee of Commissioner is of Importance than any
other in the County. 1t is for this reason, we hope the
good men, whom we have nominated, may be elected;
and they will be, if the friends of freedom and pro-
gress sustain them as they ought. OF the opposing
ticket we have only say, that, however respectable
the persons composing it may be, they have long been
Office holders and may well afford to retire to make
room for those, who, with at least equal ability Tor the
station more correctly represent the principles OF the
voters of the county.
