known III these latter days as Salt Rirer.
We do not exactly understand this move
ment. Is it to take the Democratic party BY
storm, and write them TO death If that
is the case, "proper nice man" has been
selected tor the purpose-Maupin under
stands that. But really, we were firmly
impressed from FIVE years observation,
that both Maupin and the Spectator pub
lished papers sufficient weakly for all
practical purposes. II the condition of
the two parties in this county is to be

desire to frighten Maupin. Well Tyre
has nerve, and another bluff will have to
be made before his purpose will be shaken
In fact it is game Of bluff with both of
them. Maupin wants, doubtless, to run
the Spectator off. A great many Wings
do not like that print--it does not boot
lick and hatter enough-lacks bodness
and independe Maupin, it is thought
will supply both deficiencies. It will lie

Democrats to rally as one man around the

liberal support, aud we pledge ourselves
to bear aloit the Democratic eo,ors, and
never permit them 10 trail in the dust, at
least so far as the success of the party de-
ponds upon consistent aud energetic add
vocacy of Democratic measures. Our
cause is that OF the rights of TIE people
and the Stutes--against monocrasy and
! consolidation, and nobly are the masses
coming to our rescue in this county. The
time was when the party was treated with
contempt and scorn, and It's members stig-
matised as "beggars who should demean
themselves as such, and be content with
the crumbs that fell from the table" of
whig extravaganza. But it has become
formidable. The Wings trembe for their
security, and bemoan their departing pow

gone-irretIievably gope-let it be given
with unerring precision, and then it will
require fifty semi-veakly organs to retrieve
their fortunes. We want harmony of ac-
ton. We wantcoLcert and..sy stem IN al that
We do, and we want our organization per-
iect-not an organization for.to-day or to-
morrow, but one all The time-so that we
may be ever ready not only for defensive
but offensive action; and that We may be
prepared tor ereIy emergency. Let every
democrat in the county bear this in mind +;
and be constantly equipped for battle.
Messrs. Waddel and Maupin, we wish,
in your praiseworthy efforts to distract and
divide your forces, you may be eminently
successful. Its a consummation deyoutly
to be wished, and notwithstanding we do
not exactly understand what has been the
cause of this suicidal movement, in the
language Of our quondam friend Billy
Shakespeare. we will say 'sAll's well that
ends we'll" We can assure the friends of
the pindicator, that when the wing party
