~ concerned that "Od Democratic La Sale
should maintain her high position as reliable
Democratic county. We could urge arguments "as
plenty as blackberries' in favor Of this, but we
cannot ~ into the matter Al So great length. 1t
should be enough to say, however. that our in
fuence as county for the future will depend
very greatly upon the vote we east in Noven'
ber. 1t is fact very well understood abroad il it
is not here that in all our State affairs. no county
in the State has had such an influence as Old La
Sale Il has almost been made complain, in
! the Legislature that La Sale has every thing
her own way La Sale was accused, too, Of
having nominated Gov French six years ago, Of
nominating Gov. Matteson last spring Of
managing things generally her own way. Now,
/ although We do not plead guilty to all this yet
! there can be 40 denying but the influence Of Ia
| Sale has been perhaps more than that Of any one
/ other county in all these matters. And to what
is La Sale indebted igr this influenced Mann.
1 feslly to her high standing as a relidji: dsno,
cratic county, There are many other much larger
counties in the State than La Sale To name
Z them wouli be lnvidious; hnt we know they
have little strength or influence any where; and
| it is because they are forever varying, twisting
aud tUning in politics. Nobody courts them, for
there is no relying upon them Bat in every close,
hard fight, L, Sale has hitherto come up with u
unilei, uubroken front and She has been invnri
| ble-.inyuclble no; only here, but IN every field
where she ha. catered with whole heart.

There IS another peculiar reason Why tie Dem
ocraey Of LaSai,s should give strong and united
vote at this time. At the las, Democratic state
convention n resolution was adopted that in fa.
