ministration Nothing less than that was
thought of. Had it been admitted as possible,
that any one of those men would fail to be on
that side when the pinch should come. his
name would never have been found on their
Senatorial list. Their leaders look too far
ahead to makc.that blundcr.
A few days after, the Free Soil county con-
%vcntion assembled according to public notice,
and nominated the same ticket, man for man
which the Democratic party had nominated
What more could they have done, if the
convention had been called for the express
purpose of disbanding, and joining the other
party!
Oh, but they passed some resolutions, and
said they did not relinquish any of their
principles. Funny way of getting along
that The Democratic party set forth their
principlcs-and set up their men to carry
them out. The official acts Of the free soil
party say to their rank and file, rote for them
1t is enough for us to sag We do not give
up our principles.
The Democratic party are always liberal
in that line. Pass as many resolutions as you
please gentlemen, say they, we care not how
many, nor how long. nor how strong they are.
We know your propcnsities that way and we
will indulge you. Only rofc for our men
and we will be content.
But will all the rank and file do that Let
us look Il little closer at the matter.
We have said the Frec-soil party in Chit
tendcn County is practically disbandcd.-
Others have said that it is swallowed, that it
has jumped whole down the threats oc the
Democratic party. Is this sol Has that
party made II real snakes dinner of it.-and
is the process of digestion actually going on
Is nothing more to be seen of it, and is the
only consequence of its disappearance to be,
that its voracipus swallowcr is to show more
blood, and flesh, and bone, than it had bcforc'
At first look, the matter takes that appear
ancc. we grant. Its outer caSr.-its Sh,H.

sure enough but we are not 50 sure as to all
that was once contained in it.
Many gifts members once were Wings, and
with regard to all the essential Wing doe
trincs their sympathirs are still with the
Wing party. 1t has had in it many dvcd-in-
thc-wool Democrats too. There is no need tc
ask how these last will vote at the coming
election. OF course they will vote for the De
mocratic ticket, Just as easily and naturallva as

But will those who were formerly Wig,
vote the Democratic ticket also, Suppose

were adopted by their respective County Com

in that resolution is based on sheer an,

AS for the other resolutions, indicative o
the sentiments of the two parties on nationa
affairs, the whole tone and tendency of tin
two sets is in opposita directions Here isl

States Attorney in this County, decline
being a candidate, and that the County Con
mittcc have filled the vacancy thus made i

Wings give him Il hearty support
