the comfy, and having been over its entire
limits electioneering for himself and friends,
and having laid the ropes to his satisfaction,
it becomes him to keep the party together.
His "bread and butter" is at steak, and should
the masses of his party exercise their own
judgment at the ballot box, it might prove
most disastrous to his aspirations
The few men of the Locofoco party, who
have grown rich off the taxpayers of the coun-
tty, are 5usily engaged in endeavoring to per-
petuate their terms of Office. Not Democrat

had the honor of shaking hands with them.
Their health, and the health of their families,
has been particularly inquired after. Was
their crop of wheat good this season; and how
does the corn. crop look These are the first
sallutations a democrat from the country re-
ceives from our town Office seekers A strau
ger, to witness this apparent manifestation of
interest in the prosperity of the hard working
farmer, might surmise that these Office seek

bosom friends But when you come to scan
their secret objects, you will find these acts of
friendship prompted by the potent power of
the almighty dollar" and the honors of office.
In the evening, after the farmers and me-
ehanics have returned to their several homes,
you will see these Office seekers congragate on
some retired corner of the street. to discuss
the transactions of the day. Fhe number of
men whom they have cajoled into their sup
port, and those who would not commit them
selves in their favor, are freely handled. They
ascertain who would probably have the most
influence with certain "buIz-necked" democrats,
as those are politely termed, who have the in
dependence to think and act for themselves,

matter and show these unraly fellows that the
salvation of the party depends upon their ac-

i When good old Democrat from the coun-
try, one who was born in the faith, and has
ever labored zealously for the success of his
party and his principles, asks, in the inno-
cense of his heart, for an Office, as part recon-
pense for his trouble and time, these Fremont
men make the most fair promises ''to do all
they can for him." and then secretly use their
influence against him. We have one of their
candidates in our minds eye" at this time,

manceuvering of the Locofoco wire pullers in
in this place, and no sooner do the masses OF
the party begin to evince determination to
oppose these dishonorable movements, than a
, cry is heard issuing from their mouth-piece,
: warning them to beware of strifes and dis
cords, telling them that their "old enemy is

differences. How dsinterested this advice
No thoughts of loosing the county printing. or

When will the people of Sandusky county
open their eyes to the abuses of their officers,
and think and act for themselves, when it
comes to voting? When will they put a stop

potent name of Democracy, have the magic
influence to make them blind to the interests

These are pertinent questions, and we leave

the Democratic party. We have faith TO be-
