| DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET-It is
a trite saying that whom the gods mean
to destroy they first make blind. What
| but judicial blindness could have induced
the late County Convention of the Dem
ocratic party to put forward sucha ticket
as it did, for the support of an intelli-
gent community Such ticket never
before llimed the suffrages of this or
any other county. We admit that some
good citizens secured place on the
ticket, and they can readily be picked
out but take the mass of the names
presented, aud there is no element of
business usefulness, popularity, common
household virtues. Some of the men
put forward are known in the commu-
nifty as excessively addicted to liquor
men who have no visible means of
subsistence, whose only claim is adher-
ence to party. While some have not
even this poor excuse for their names to
be in this relation.
We have no wish to meet our oppo-
ncnts on any other than fair, political
grounds. But there is duty to the
community to be performed by all par
ties. 1t is the duty of anv party think
ing itself dominant to nominate good
men, so that county affairs may be at
tended to with proper diligence and hon
esty. No man should vote for another
who has not confidence enough in the
man voted for to entrust him with the
management of his private affairs in
case of need. Public affairs affect
every one, and as faithful agents are
needed as though the matter affected
private individuals. If this view is cor
rect, and who can doubt it, what sober,
industrious, conscientious citizen can vote
for some of the men who are put forward
for county election. For the Legisla-
ture what man casting his vote intelli-
gently can vote for Cassin, or Moore, or
Chase. AS democrats looking to party
ties, what man can vote for Gamble,
with two weeks purgation from Know
Nothilgism, or for Scott, three times
II. e.
Pierce, an old Inc Whig, who still looks
lovingly at Fillmore, and would vote
for him if he believes he stands a
better show than Buchanan What
citizen can vote for Den, who is a for
eigner by birth, never naturalized.-
Who believes that Scott has the neces-
sary qualifications for County Super
visor !! or that he is for moment to be
compared with Isaac Williamson in ca
pacity for that office
The fact is, the Democratic party in
its palmiest days in this county never
dared to put forward ticket like this
Now they are smarting under last years
defeat, and dolefully looking forward to
the next election, and in mere reckless
ness have pandered to the lowest class
in community, as a forlorn hope They
do not and cannot hope to receive the
support of therespectable classes in the
fcounty, and take the only chance of
success by enlisting all the bad elements
in their favor. We do not believe the
calculation is saccurate-that there are
voters enough in the county so reckless
of their best interests, as to elect this
tioket; and the association of better
men on the ticket cannot save it from
odium. These will be more apt to sink
with the ticket, than raise the ticket to
respectability.

NEW WAY TO DISCOVER MURDER
ERs.-W. ID. Porter writes to the n. Y.
Herald that the following will, in many
cases, detect the perpetrators of a muir
der: at is well known that all objects
are actually painted or impressed on the
retira of the eye. Should person die
by violent death, the objects before
the eye at the time, remain impressed
on the rctina. If the covering of the
eye is seraped down thin, and power
ful magnifying glass applied, this image
will be distinctly seen. This was the
first discovery of the daguencotype.
Any scientific physician can do this"

his life must hang upon the last gain

last faint cash he makes, his faithful
knife falls from his hand, and ringing
along the precipice, falls at his mothers
feet.

like a death-kneh through the channel

half his length over the bridge, has a

Row AMONG THE sTUFFERs.-In the
reported proceedings of the Democratic
State Convention is the following =
When the name of J ohm Nugent was
announced, Saml Marx denied that he
had been elected. He received only
fourteen votes out of thirty-six-if he
got more the ballot box must have been
stuffed Kissing and great excite
ment.
A delegate said no man understood
that business better than Mr.. Marx him
self.
VIM. G. Morris said Mr.. Nngent had
received fourteen out of twenty-siA
votes, almost the unanimous voice of the
delegation. The excitement continuing,
Jas. Gallagher made few remarks,
when the chair ruled the whole debate
out Of order.
Mr.. Marx took an appeal.
A member moved to adjourn, and the
vote being put, the Convention adjourn
ed until II O'clock on Wednesday
Such rogues should have policy
enough not to fall out-they tell too
many wholesome truths for their own
interests.
