THE STRING ELECTIoN.-We call the
attention of our Democratic friends,

appropriate remarks of the approaching
tow nship elections. The Spring elections
are rapidly approaching, and it behooves
our Democratic friends in the several
townships to be watchful aud prepare for
the contest. These elections, although
looked upon BY many as unimportaut, are
nevertheless Of considerable moment in Il
political view, and none understand this
better than the opposition They are now
actively engaged in drumming up their
forces, with the hope that if they succeed
in defeating the Democrats now, it will
add strength to their ranks in the fall /;
and so it will II, therefore, becomes the
duty of the Democrats in the townships
and boroughs, to look well to the matter
and see that good tickets are brought for
ward, and that Il full party vote is poiied.
The matter should not be delayed until
the last hour, but every arrangement should
be made in due time to have every vote
