relative to public morality. Now in reference

Our state Ticket.

We this week hoist to our mast head the
Anh Nebraska ticket, and with hearty good
will, we give 1t our utmost support-We feel
assured from the late OutpOurings Of the peo-
pie to the nominating convention, from all
parts Of the State, without respect to old party
lines, that the public pulse beats health'ly. and
ere the idesOf october the body polite will have
thrown of those watery and purid excrescen-
ces that have so long disgraced it, and caused
the whole body, 10 seemingly stink in the nos
trils of every honest man. In giving our sup
port to this ticket, we feel that none of the
principles advocated by US as wings have been
compounded; TO- we have always understood
it to be One of the cardinal doctrines of the
whig party, No more slave territory No more
Slave States,-And in tearing down the
Missouri Compromise barrier to slavery and
opening the hoOdgates for its issue into these
new territories, the present Administration have
won for themselves everlasting shape.and bro't
upon the Union a blighling curse, that

them at the hands of an outraged and indig-

Which Leads.

The Companion the Democratic organ of this
county says "The Nebraska bill, so called, is no
political test" that "itis not party question =
The ,mOuth-piece of Pierce, the Washington
Union, distinctly declares that the Nebraska
bill is test of Democratic orthodoxy" Which
leads, the Companion or the Union? To which
shall we look as the true Interpreter of the
measures of the Democratic party. If the
Companion, had not Pierce better remove with
his cabinet to Carrollton, or the Union and
Companion exchange locations. How is it that
there is so much harmony expressed, when SO
much variance exists.
Cannot the Companion man soo.h his aching
conscience right now, and come out in favor Of
the Nebraska fraud, and follow right along in
the rank of the Washington Union, and keep
up that harmony and unanimity that he boasts
Off For all that he is controlled by his con-
science, we think the effort will noG be a severe
one.
