clines being an Independent candidate for
County Auditor at the coming election, and
requests US to withdraw his name. We highly
commend Mr.. Reed in this course. From
the time his name appeared as such candi
date. we entertained the opinion that upon
due reflection Mr.. Reed would not persist
in course calculated to divide the Republican
forces and thereby give the slaveocracy the
the ascendency: but would withdraw his name
and cordially support the entire Republican
ticket. In this, We are happy to state, we were
not disappointed. Mr.. Reed is Republican
OF the true grit--he pledges his support to tht
whole ticket also bis labor for its success

Republicans, remember that next Tuesday

Gus news are spoken. Let no freeman remain
at home and once presume his aid is not re-
quired, Turn cut one and all. To the Polls,
To the PollO-we say, and there put the seal
of condemnation upon Slave prOpagandism.
Little CarrOll' is destined to roll up a heavy
majority for the Republican ticket. To action
and the day is ours. No Republican should
out of an over anxious desire for friend be
caught exchanging others on the ticket for him.

In attempting to review the relative merits
and demerts Of the candidates for the respec-

Blackburn, the Republican candidate for Au-
ditor who went into that Office two years ago,
and has made faithful and honest officer

debtness TO the Fund Commissioners in the
event Of his election, which would enable him

Then there can be no good reason for the re-

NS. West the LoCofoco candidate for the
same Office, is young man against whom we
have not one word to say, only that he is an
inveterate paTtymAn, and who should consider
that there is not the most distant hope Of his
election. and that bis party friends are only
using him for the present campaign; know
