The Township Election.

On Monday next this State is to vote by town.
ships. In addition to the various township officers,
q State Superintendent of Public Instruction is to
be elected. Were it not for this there would be
nothing like general turn out among the voters.
Although every voter should, even at an election
where only township officers are to be elected, ex.
ercise his right Of suffrage; this privilege is hardly
ever estimated at such time, highly as ii ought
to be. The township officers, fromJustice down to
Constable, should be men in whom the people have
confidence, and who it should be known, will dis
charge their duties faithfully and impartialy. tits
owing to want Of interest on this important point,
that too frequently secures the election of men
who are neither capable, honest or impartial. II,
then, it is important that every voter should exer-
else the elective franchise in tho selection OF
township officers, how much mere important is it
that they should do so, when such office as SUI
perintendent Of Public Instruction is to be filled,
and especially so, when one Of the candidates is
much more capable and impartial than the other. as
we believe Mr. WOODWARD to be. We hope that
thsse brief suggestions will lead the friends OF Mr.
Woodward every where to be on the alert. Let
them remember that Mr. Benton, his opponent, has
been weighed in the balance and has been found
wanting.
