A WORD POLITICALLY.

Although the repeal question is at this
time of higher moment Than political con-
siderations, yet there are officers to be voted
for on next Tuesday whose position has no
natural or necessary connection with the re-
pealissue. Upon such, generally, political
disiictinciions viii be properly observed, un-
less to some slight degree, where the min.
ions Of Fel,y Best are making desperate
stab at portion of The Democratic ticket
because those upon it will not come to terms
with the ,reacherous ex-senator.
Speaking apart from our own connection
with the ticket, the Democrats have noni-
nees worthy of generous support and ener-
getic labors to secure their election. The
ticket is filed with the names of good men
and true, and now let the watchword be
''the ticket, the whole ticket and nothing
but the ticket.n Lat no man sell single
vote, but be it for each TO remember that the
right Of suffrage is the glorious heritage Of
freemen, and Is that alone which distinguish
es free American from the vsssal Of some
crowned robber He who sells one vote for
another is the same as he who sells his vote
for money or a glass of grog, and is not fit to
exercise The elective franchise Of a repub-
lican citizen.
Let no man tempt you 10 q base bargain
or sale of your vote; for such tricks are a.
lone the coatrivance of desperate ard reck-
less political gamblers.

This shows that the agricultural portions of
the county then understood the question and
voted il down. If Montour county Yves
once fully erected, another application would

be kept in the public poor-house at the ex.
pense Of the whole county. The poor-tax

this when they come TO vote, and LET
THEM BE WARNED IN TIME. When
Danville once controls Montour county it
will be too late TO offer resistance to the plot.
It will be seen by the above table that

houro project received came from the two
