THE STATE TICKET.

THE STATE TICKET.
/ In the excitement attending the que s.
ton Of President, we should be exceeding
" cautions not to lose sight IF the import
ance of carrying our State ticket. I'm
less we are successful in ths October cleo
ton, il will be useless for u to attempt 70
be successful in the Noyeslber. To the
frs', then, all our energies should now be
directed, Everybody knows what t5e nor
al prestige Of . victory is With the large
foating vote scattered throughout the State.
1t will confirm our friends, intimiiate our
enemies, and convert the uaslecideI. The
result of the October election nav be re-
garded as a sure harbingfr Of the turn
events Will take ID tie succeeding contest.
1t is trick Of our opponents to divert the
public rnnd as mach IS possible from the
State ticket. ana 10 exercise L on the 9TH
or and more remote conflict. If Be.suffer
ourselves 70 be dipped by. sseh transpaT-
eat straiager, We may expect 10 pay for
our blind credulity and yeslaacy in defeat
and disgrace. The Eoeof4e6 party is no
forious for tie certainty ppou which it can
calculate upon bringing into effective play
every atom Of strength with shieh II Is pos
sessed. 4 does not seqniFe iabar er even

lowers to deposite his vote. And there
fore, they are shrevd enough to ignore all
discussion Of the State ticket, in the hope
that by so doing our friends may be led to
believe that it Is merely minor topic
The fight is kept up for the Presidency
but the fight should now begin on the
State ticket Ga that ticket every elo-
meut of the opposition to the National Ad
minisiration is honorably represented
There is no just ground for cayil here. u
was formed with q view to reconcile the
conflicting sentiments Of great body of
the people; and the spirit of genuine con-
citation presided over the assembly that
selected it, 1t is certainly one, too upon
which all men, who desire the restoration
Of honesty in the regulation Of our State
affairs, can consistently and conseientiously
unite. 1t Is no mere party ticket-its tri-
umph viii not be the triumph of any fac
ton OF clique. It viii be simply the victo-
ry of the people without distinction as to
political differences. The honor of its sue
cess will not BE- claimed BY Republicans,
nor by Americans nor by Wings. But to
each one of these parties, ard to all of
them, viii be due portion of the glory al
ways accompanying good deed. If We
differ upon the greater question Of P:esi-
dent, let there be no difference upon the
State ticket. There should be perfect unan-
unity; and ii We win the first battle, as we |
feel confident we can, the second will be
dwarfed into mere skirmish-becauSe the |
foe will be disheartened dispirited and com
pletely at our mercy. In short every thing
depends upon the State ticket. There is no
use to mince words upon the subject, if we
lose it through the suplneness or Incidence
Of our friends there is no power strong
enough to enable us to retrieve the misfor
tune in the November election. We might
as we'll permit the State at that time to 60
BY default, because no exertions viii repair
the damage. We, therefore say to our
friends, that it is absolutely imperative, we
should be up and dong. No time, nor
work should be thought too long or TO oner-
BUS in order to carry the ticket. Every
thing that can be done should be done and
quickly too. Let Us abandon the Prcsiden
.ial question until after the October elco-
ion; and if successful then, We know that
The freenen Of Pennsylvania &
.sWiH come as the minds cone,
When forests are rended,"
lnd redeem their glorious State from the
hraldam of Locofoeoism. Hrr,sbmg
