If the Whir voters in its Ward in the
course of a fortnight, and any omissions
therein could be supplied In another week
by simply posting the list at some Puou'
place in he Ward and by advertisement
inviting every voter to examine IT, anu
sbould he not find his name thereon gooe-
fore the Committee at a designated day
thereafter, and have the mistake correct
Cd. There is nothing difficult In the
premises but to make Ward politicians
honest. But the members of our General
Committees were themselves chosen by the
machinery wherewith we seek to dispense
and many of them owe TO it all their little
consequence. They know how to back
and carry a Delegation under the old sys-
tenn: they don't know that they could
be equally successful or important under
a Registry and pure Ballot. "Ie are OF
Your father the devil, and has toorSs ye tolH
d." was said of olden time, and the phil
osophy holds good in 1852.
Well: we must take things as they are
and make the best of them. We hear
with pleasure that in many OF the wares
the Whigs are comforting and consulting 10
n true brotherly spirit, and are fully deter
mined to have but one ticket at the ap-'
preaching Primary Election. If they
could but do this in all the Wards, the
rovdies and bulies who are anticipating
harvest on Thurday morning would be
eloriously disappointed.
In some Wards, there will be old-fash-
toned contests, redolent of rum, riot and
rascality. We can't exhOrt our readers to
20 near the polls where these scenes are
being enacted. Nor shall we advise them
TO shut their eyes and swallow any ticket
which may be forced upon them under the
auspices of the Primary swindle. On
the country, we most decidedly urge
them not to vote for any dishonest, I'M
worthy, incompetent persons whom this
system may transform into Wing candt-
dates. Don't listen to the current can't of
the Importance and necessity of support
ing the regular nominations; if they are
good men, fit for the places, it Is important
that they should succeed; if otherwise, 1t
mite as important that they should be de-
feated The Wing cause cannot be bene-
flied by electiDg a scoundrel or ninny to
any post whatsoever. If then bad men
should be put upon our ticket this Fall do
you take good care TO erase their names
from your ballots before voting and put
those of good men in their places
Don't neglect nor refuse to vote; that
would be treating good and bad candi-
dates alike; and in any case the form
er are morally certain to be the great
err number. If evil Influences prevail in
our Nominating Committees they are al
ways careful to sandwich the candidate
they want to carry between two or three
frst-rate men in order to hide or neutral
ize his unworthiness. Be sure to vote for
all the good men on the wing tichel' anu
to write good names in place Of the others,
so as to make your rebuke palpable and
emphatic, Staying away from the polls
will be attributed to apathy rather than
disgust or indignation, and SO will subserye
no good purpose. But vote for all the
good candidates on our ticket and against
the bad ones goes right to the heart Of the
matter.
We cherish a Joyful hope that this week
will witness our last Primary Meetings Of
the old sort in our City for the nomination
Of Wing candidates. Let US get along
with them as well As we can, until we
shall be able to put an end to them.
