Oar Candidates.

The candidates for Mayor and Aldermen, nom
mated at the citizens meeting, or FRIDAY eve
ming, constitute a ticket of which the people may
well be proud Col. Dwight Foster, the caud.
date for Mayor, is 4 man in whose integrity and
ability the people may repose the most entire
confidence. He is a native Of the city, familiar
with its people and its institutions and thorough
ly identified with its interests. In politics he is
ardent Republican, and, in the recent contest
with the Know Nothing party in this county, he
has distinguished himself by the zeal and energy
ithwhich, as Chairman of the County Commit
tee, he has conducted the campaign-and to him,
more than to any in the county, are the
people indebted for the glorious triumph which
they have just achieved. Admitted to the Bar OF
Worcester county at early age, he so distin-
guished himself, by the mastery ability which he
displayed as attorney, by his knowledge of the
law, by his fidelity TO his clients, and by his gen.
tlemanly bearing that, at the early age of twen,v
five years, he universally admitted to me fore.
most rank in the profession. Not only as a law
yer, but business man, Mr.. Foster is widely
known to the community, and, though younger
in years thansprevous candidates for the Mayoral-
ty, no one who knows him can for a moment
entertain a doubt as to his entire fitness to per-
form, in satisfactory and faithful manner, ali the
duties of the Mayoralty.
To the list of candidates for the Board of AL
dermen, upon the peoples ticket, we may point
with equal pride and satisfaction. They are all
able and honorable men-men of character and
infuence-some of them of large experience in
city affairs, through previous service in the Board
of Aldermen, and faithful representatives of the
sentiments of the people OF this thriving city, in all
its interests, moral, industrial and social A bet
Err Board of Aldermen, in our judgment. it is not
possible for the people to select and under its adj
ministration may confidently predict such
wise and prudent conduct of affairs, such prompt
attention to the best interest of the people, such
efficient enforcement of the laws of the city and
of the Commonwealth, as will minister in the
highest degree to the security, prosperity, and
happiness of the community.
Unless the people of the city of Worcester are
remiss to their duty in the extreme-unless they
prefer to see reign of terror F" inaugurated in
Worcester, under the direction of the satellites of
Governor Gardner; and Know Nothingism, in its
worst form, again its I" accursed front"
among us, after it has been so handsomely put
down by combination of all parties-it seems to
us that there can be no question as to the result
of this days contest.

Remember
That the polls open at o'clock, and close at


We hope and trust that every citizen of Wor
cester who intends to vote the peoples ticket for
Mayor and Aldermen, will do so at an early
hour of the day. 1t can make but little differ
enee to most men 'ohen they vote, but it will ma
terially assist the rallying committees, and in
crease the majority for the ticket. il the bulk of
our vote is polled early. Let every Republican
then, who has not made up his mind to follow
the Pickering light Of the dark lantern be early
at the polls, and by his vote and his influence,
labor for the success of the tue peoples ticket.
So shall the last remaining embeis Of Gardner
AmeTcanism be scattered to the winds, and so
shall the few fshy Republicans who have joined
hands with the biiterest foes Of the Republican
party, to accomplish their purposes, learn that
against all alliances with the dark lantern party
for their overthrow, the Republicans of old Wor-
cester are inyincible.

Voters of Worcester,

Bear in mind that some of the most important
statements in the lying handful, issued by the
friends of the bogus citizens ticket" such as
that Edward Earle and James B. Blake had de-
clined, &C., inserted after the signature Civ
en- to the general statement. They were I'M
doubtedly stuck IN" by the light o; the darklan-
tern, BY some more INSCRIPTIONS gentlemen than
those whose names are appended to the circular.
There is one untruthfu charge, however, in that
part of the circular which does bear the names of
gentlemen who should be above makingit, against
the senior editor Of this paper, which might seem
to call for areply from him, and we would say, in
this eonnexion, that the reason Of the non APP
pearance ofsuch reply must be attributed to his
absence from the city.

A Few word. to the Voters of wOroes.


Fellos0 Citizens We are upon tho eve of
another City Election. For the fret time in
many years, the different political parties have
made no distinctive party nom.naio5s Two
tickets are presented for your consideration,
of which one must be chosen. Both are citi-
zens tickets. Neither is peculiarly party
ticket but as usual, there are not wanting
rsrtzans, who, for selfish purposes, do not
scrupe to yilify and malign those opposed to
them. Having no confidence in the intrinsic
strength of their ticket, and not daring to
leave it in the hands of the voters of the city,
without some underhanded attempt at bolster
ing, the trainers of the Richardson ticket,
boldly headed % Citizens Ticket" have sought
to east obloquy upon "The True Citizens
Ticket" by pitiful tissue of SANDER, issued
and distributed. Enthusiastically sin the the
dark of Saturday night last, and signed by
twenty-four Of the citizens of Worcester
Among these, as is customary with documents
otths character, are the names OF many hon
eat men, without which, the unprincipled
among them, dare not appeal to you.
In this exceedingly lucid and labored ap.
peal, you are informed that large number
of citizens who took part in the proceedings
at Horticultural Hall meeting of Nov. II. and
in those of the Adjourned meeting of Dec. I'd
were dissatisfied with the nominations. and
subsequently participated in those Of the
meeting held at the City hall, on Friday
evening" There is no question raised as to
the fact nor can aay be raised as u the pro-
priety of the movement; since no voter who
attended either Of the meetings alluded to, was
either expected or asked 10 abide by nomina-
tions Of which he did not approve.
Fellow citizens, a plot has been deliberately
laid to elevate to certain offices in this city
certain ambitious men. In this plot many Of

John c. Underwood. who was driven out
of Virginia for supporting Fremont, has re-
turned to his plantation, but has received
notice from the committee OF vigilance that
he may remain only long enough 10 settle up
his affairs, and if he persists in renewing his
citizenship, the committee will withdraw their
protection and leave him TO suffer whatever
may follow from the hands ef the community.
This fact furnishes striking commentary on
the assertion in President Pierce's long howl at
the North. called by eou tesy message, that
"perfect liberty Of association for political OBJ
jects, are the received and ordinary conditions
OF government in our country Not in a
single one of the states that Mr.. Pierce glori

such liberty exist.

Fellouo Citi=ens Two tickets are presented
for your suffrages. each claiming to be cit
liens tickets. Which has the right to bear
it, will be settled by your votes, next Mon
day. We should be content to leave the ques-
ton to you, on mere inspection of the two
lists, if an attempt had not been made, in
widely circulated handful, to misrepresentthe
position of candidates and the means which
led to their nomination. That handful false
" imputes to US. that we oppose the Richard.
son ticket on political grounds. The follow
ing are some of the many reasons that led us
to oppose it -
l. Richardson was nominated for Mayor at
meeting where double voting was openly and
shame:ully practiced.
2. The Richardson ticket for Aldermen are
not the nominees of public caucus, but OF a
private committee room, and have never been
submitted to public meeting for ratification.
8. The best men who signed the call for the
first citizens meeting, will not now support
the Richardson ticket.
4. The best men who were nominated for
Aldermen. by the first citizens meeting, vii
not stand on the Richardson ticket.
5. The Richardson ticket has been altered
by a committee, by taking off the names of
candidates who have never declined the nom.
ination, and never been officially informed of
it.
6. The Richardson ticket has been got up
to retrieve the fortunes of broken down
party.
I. The triumph of the Richardson ticket
will be heralded through the State as Know
Nothing triumph
s. The getters- up of the Richardson ticket,
including some of the men who are upon it,
have published the false statement that ed.
ward Earle and James B. Blake have both
peremp,orily declined the nomination. when
both of them have accepted it.
Q. The gelters- up Of the Richardson ticket
have made coarse personal attack upon your

IL. To elect the Richardson ticket will he
to place in the offices to be chosen by the City
government, and to feed Tor year at the
city expense, men whom the people of the
County hare yepudtGted
II. Because the signers to the circular
which has been spread through the city. are.
with one exception, men who Lave been Bit
terly opposed TO the course of our candidate
for Mayor, in his efforts to preserve the in
tegrity of the Republican party in Worcester
County.
10. Because the Richardson ticket, while
claiming to be citizens ticket, utterly g-
nores the existence of party numbering
thousand voters in this city, and denies them
any participation in the city government.

A Big Lie NaiIe d.

In circular issued on Saturday by the dark
lantern conspirators against the Republican party
"Whentwiight shades were creeping on"
it is stated that Edward Earle and james b.
Blake have peromptonly declined the nomination
of the true citizens meeting for Aldermen
Such is not the fact. Both of these gentlemen
have accepted the nominations and agreed to abide
the result. The desperate straits to which the
dark lantern party are driven in their efforts to
overturn the true citizens ticket, may well be
judged from their infamous attempts to bolster
up their ticket by lying down that Of their oppo-
nents.

The genuine Citizens or Peoples ticket for
Mayor and Aldermen, is headed with the alag
OF OUR COUNTRY" bearing the stars and stripes.
1t is the same banner under which the Republi-
cans of Worcester rallied on the fifth of Novem-

CoURT OF COMMON PLEAs.-The October
Term of the Criminal Court, Judge Aiken
presiding, concluded its session in this city on
Friday last. About seventy verdicts have
been rendered during the term. William A.
Parmenter, of Holden, was tried upon four
indictments for larceny, upon two of them
convicted, plead guilty upon one other, and
was found ''not guilty" upon the fourth, and
was bound over to appear for sentence at the
next term of the Court.
On Friday forenoon, Joseph Santon of
Worcester, for selling liquor, was fined $50,
and sent to House of correction Tor three
month. Patrick Dolon of Fitchburg, was
committed tor three months, and Peter Doyle
of Fitchburg, for twenty days, for selling IL
quor.
Levi Bosworth, a lad of fifteen years, was

great mass of our citizens should be dissatis-
fed, and, in the sure defeat to which they are
destined. let slanderers learn wisdom.
Of the ticket presented for your suffrages'
it is not necessary that we should speak
Composed as it is, of order-loving moral, and
intelligent men, embracing tried and thorough
executive talent, and an ample representation
of the most valued interests Of Worcester, the
working man and capitalist has equal guaran
tee of efficient representation and pro lection.
That under such an administration, we shall
derive all the benefits of firm. temperate,
and wise government, admits of no question
among honest men. and in this connection
we propose to illustrate the desperate policy
of our opponents, BY quoting from the men
Gacious circular to which sllusion has been
made -
1--WE expect (says the unprincipled writer,)
working men TO support it, because the i'.P~-
enees iohich are arrayed against 1t, hostile
totheir Interests -
Working men of Worcester We ask you
to read the names of the men composing the
true citizens ticket, and then ask yourselves
what confidence is to be reposed in the man
who would be guilty of such mendacity Bat
again =
1--WE expect order loving men to support it,
because they know that the present condition
of our city demands change in its govern
ment; and thai the defeat of this ticket Cthe
Richardson tibkat) will endorse and contin-
lie in power, the men who have controlled the
policy of our city government during the past
year
Again, we say, look at tie ticket and the
facts, and judge for yourselves.
Further, we are told -
"They (ther meetings. were composed of
gentlemen, who hold themselves above the
petty maneuvers of small politicians"
Now, fellow citizens, we ask you what
pettter ''maneuver conld be devised than
these little private conspiracies, or who among
politicians are "smaller" thae some of the
men whose names are affixed to this elabo-
rately wish washy document?
For its midnight appearance, its author Of

before you in this manner, because circum-

the more honorable of the sigpers, when call

not but know 10 be untrue.
But enough of the circular and its author.
1t is 10 you, fellow citizens, 10 whom light
and publicity are not Objectionable that this
appeal is made.
We offer you a ticket unexceptionable in
character, composed of men Of various parties,
all of whom are known to you as honest men
and good citizens, and relying upon your in
