r5-The Democrats Of this County also made their
nominations last week. having selected for their
ddates the very best men in their ranks. The fol-
lowing is portion OF their resolutions:
Resolved, That the pa ssagr Of the law By the
last legislature, commonly known as the '.Jug-
law,' is calculated 10 increase rather than abate
the evils Of lmrniperapce. After the people
had decided against prohibition, it was a stretch
of power in the Legislature 10 disregard the peo-
Pies opinion: and, whilst We most earnestly APP
prove of temperance and sobrirtv, we are at the
same time opposed 10 the 'jug law" and think
SAID law should be wiped from the statue
books
Resolved, That we bail with hope aads Joy
the recent brilliant victories of the Democratic
party in the States ct Virginia, Tennessee, n.
Carolina, Alabama, Iowa and Texas, believing
thai these overwhelming victories are but pre-
lude Of others soon TO BE- achieved in our own
and other STATES.
Resolved, That we continue TO have undi-
minished confidence in the patriotism, integr-
ty and Democracy Of President Pierce and those
composing bis administration. The economical
manner he has conducted the affairs of govern
mrnt since his induction into office, is evidence
of his sagacity and craftsmanship.
Resolved, Tha; the act Of onr last State Leg
islature, increasing the numbers pay from 300
to $500 for the session, was an outrage upon
the people, and as dishonest as it was outrage
Gus. We demand the repeal Of said act, and, in
the event Of the election Of MeSSrs. Harper 4
Anderson, instruct them to vote for its repra.-
None bot Know Nothing legislators would ever
have dared thus 10 attempt to rob the people.
Resolved, That We urge upon our Democra-
tic brethren Of this county the Importance and
necessity of an eaily organization. To oppose
successfully party that concerts IFS schemes IN
the dark and burrows under the earth, we must
BE- fully organized, and prepared TO stand shout
der to shoulder in defence Of the Constitution
and laws.
Resolved, That we have fnlI confidence in
the Democratic nominee for Canal Commission
pr, the Hon Arnold Pumcr, and shall yield
him our hearty support

ced the following Tickrt in nomination
Assemblv-Wm. w. KlRK, Of Bethel
Commissoner-J. b. ALEXANDER, Wells.
Auditor-JoB FISHER, Bethel.
Ifthe gentlemen accept the empty honor of
being defeated by the Democracy tins fail, we
shall have something. to say of each Of hrm.-
Messrs Kirk and Fisher have heretofore be-
onged to the Democratic Party, and by their
nomination by the know-NohpgS il is sought
to break down and divide the party in old Beth
eI We assure our Know Nothing friends that
they are slightly mistaken in their calculations
the sterling Democracy Of Bethel will not
sell their hirthright for mess OF pottage.' Mr..
Kirk is BY far the most ostunpopular aDd obnoxious
man in the Township, aud has repeatedly been
defeated for small township offices. He will
be most sonndly thrashed at home in the pre-
sent canvass. He has for years been stand
ing candidate for Office. and having been dis
appointed he seeks TO vent his spleen on his
former friends We are sorry for the man, and
are satisfied that hr will live 10 regret his pre-
sent conduct His apostacy will not break
down the Democratic party-he cannot Inure
it, bot will rather add strength to it, by lsav
ing it--but it will most efeotualy and certain
ly use hin up. Mark our words
The true Democracy Of this County have
been lighting RENEGADES for. some years,
and have have always sgnaily triumphed, as
they Will over this unhoy combination.
P. s. We have been informed that Mr.. Fish
er was nominated without lis knowledge or
consent, and that be has no fellowship with the
,coman-Jurning crew. We hope for his sake
that this is true.-Falton Democrat
