Vote for the best Men,


The desperate efforts of Old Liners to in
duce the faithful to vote the straight ticket"
will be unavaiIing. Many who vote for Will
lard will vote for Ingle. The time when two
or three party leaders can mark the tickets of
whole township, haS gone by. Unfortunate
ly for the success of Old Line candidates, the
People will Judge of the relative merits of the
candidates. and they will vote for the best
men, OF the success Of MORTON, we have
not doubt. The only question is, what shall
be his majority Willard may carry this dis
trict by small majority, and perhaps the sec
ond. but we can see no possible chance for him
in the other Congressional Districts Never
before was the opposition to Democracy so
powerful as now Never did the Old Line
party present ticket so repugnant to the
any man can vote for Willard, who has seen
Judge Morton. we cannot imagine. The votes
cast for Willard will be confined to that wing
of the Democratic party, who vote for the
nominees Of their conventions, though the
nominees as are untitled for offices of trust as
Willard and Hammond. We envy no man,
who goes to the ballot box to vote for men
he knoa0s are disqualified, simply because the
wire workers of his party have placed those
men in nomination The fact that Wright
and Bright are endeavoring to sacrifice Will
lard to advance their own corrupt designs, is
an evidence Of the way things are managed in
the Old Line party. Everything must be done
to secure office; beyond that, they have not a
thought or care. In the name Of the Const-
tutioa, they seek to advance their own personal
interests They talk loudly of the people, and
use them as stepping stone to power. They
dilate upon the compact our fathers made"
and repeal a Compro mise--in the words of
Doug las" Canonized in the hearts of the
American people," They talk of the consis-
tency of the +" Democratic party" and denounce
as abollt5Onists men who stand where they
stood six years ago. They declare that the
people must settle the question Of slavery for
themselves, when in 1849, they thought that
" Congress had the right" to settle the ques.
ton for them. Stephen A. Douglas sends
forth his fat, that the Missouri Compromise
is selfevident le," and forthwith, every
member of the party sees that it alaoays aOaS
"lle..'' The leading organs Of the party, from
the Cincinnati Enquirer, down to its worth
less namesake in Evansville, are busy circula-
ting falsehoods in relation to Kansas, hoping
thereby to screen the administration of Frank
lin Pierce from the contempt it deserves, and
elevate to the Presidency man pledged to
carry out the contemplate policy Of his pre-
decessor. We ask candid voters to look at
the men presented by that party for their suf-
frages. From Buchanan and Breckenridge,
the L" big guns" to Hall, the smallest pop-g
of Old Iineism, we find them all equally I'M
qualified. The same scheming wire working
which nominated Buchanan and Willard, was
displayed in a very small way in the nomina-
ton of DENLY and Hall. And now the En-
quirer whines out vote the straight ticket
Procure one, printed at our Office, upon which
is our name for the Sherifality, and without
scratching out name, deposit it in the ballot
box, and save the Union p
