backstairs coteris, to guide you. Inquire for
Yourself az to the characters, respectively, OF
the opposing candidates, and vote only for good
and true mem but don't let some knot of self
constituted censOrs deal damnation round the
land for reasons which are withheld from the
public.
For instance: The Temperance Alliance
have placed ON their tickets the names of the
Wing candidates for Judges of the Supreme
and Superior Courts, of course rejecting the
opposing candidates. Now, does any man know
good reason why LOco-Foco Temperance
man should as Temperance man, vote for
John L. Mason instead Of Robert Emmett We
do not, and can imagine none. Both of them,
we believe, are men of good moral standing and
reputable habits. Neither is, so far as we
know, or as the public is apprised, devotee OF
Total Abstinence neither has ever been spoken
of as incorporate. What sense then, IN pre-
senting either, to the exclusion of the other, as
the Temperance candidate The whole pro-
ceeding appears to US one calculated to degrade
and bedraggle the Temperance cause merely to
exalt the personal consequence of half dozen
secret wire-wOrkers.
So with regard to Sheriff. Col. EPHnAIM
L. Snow is put forth as the Temperance can
didate for Sheriff. To what end Can any
body imagine that he can be elected to that Of
fcel There is not on this Island blOchhcad
stupid enough to imagine he has the ghost Of a
chance But the secret plOtters of this noml-
nation say, He may get three 10 five thousand
votes, whereof four-ffths will be cast by
'Whigs, which will be so much distracted from
JAMES KELLY. and so much added to the
'chsnce of electing JOIN ORsER.' And would
it not be a glorious triumph for Temperance 70
defeat KELLY aud elect ORsER9
So with regard to Congress. In the East
River district, we observe that one Joseph c.
Morton is set forth as the Temperance candi-
date Nobody has thought of electing him;
but it is calculated that he may take of tour
or FIVE hundred votes, and thus defeat Joseph
Hoxe and elect AID Tweed. That is the whole
calculations and we have not a doubt that, if
the truth could be dragged TO the light, every
penny of the cost Of this Morton canvass so tar
has been paid out of Tweed's pocket and Will
be to the end. This is just one of those dirty
games that member of our present Board of
Aldermen would be up to, and we can see the
finger of Tweed in it as plainly as if it we're
done above board. he knows that none OF his
sort are likely to be lured off after Temper
ance candidate, and that some Wings may be ;
so that all the votes cast for Morton will be so
much fish to his net. And this is fair sample
of the honesty or gumption of this whole Tenn
perAnce Alliance game 1t is intended by its
secret cOntrivers to take FIVE thousand Wing
votes and cast them in part for LOco-FOco can
didates and in part throw them away. 1t has
no other rational object, aud can have no other
practical effect.
For the Maine Law We have labOred and
shall still labor, no matter what folly or self
seekingintrgue may cover itselfwith the mantle
of Temperance That law We deem more i'm
pOrtant, and its operation more beneficent, than
any other act now contemplated or advocated
10y any party. Where We can promote its adOp
ton by vote, we shall give it, aud let party
take care of itself But the nomination of
Temperance candidates for Executive and Ju-
dicial offices is blunder where it is not crafty
plot to divide and weaken the more moral and
conscientious portion of our citizens in order
to render them an easier prey to the unscrupu-
lous and vicious 1t is the old Third Party,
Birney, Giddings game over again, whereby the
free spirit of the North has been sthed and
paralzed under the pretense of embOdying and
animating it. To all these schemes for wan
tonly dividing and weakening that portion of
our voters who are guided by principle, in
order TO deliver them bound and helpless into
the hands of those whose great object is the
spoils,' We stand opposed eyermore.
