The Ticket.

The democratic ticket, State, District
and County, is now completed aud settled,
as found at the head Of the Columbia
Democrat. But one more issue of our
paper can be made, before our readers will
be called upon to vote; and of that issue
some Of our subscribers may not receive
the benefit until too late to affect the result
of this contest; we therefore seize the pre-
sent opportunity, to make an appeal to the
members of the party to be up and doing
Fellow Democrats this is not time to
lie idly BY, in fancied security, and in the
belief that the democratic majority is so
large as to carry the State without indivi-
dual exertion. 1t is because every man
did his duty last fall that we were enabled
to give Mr.. Buchanan over FOURTEEN
HUNDRED majority in the good old
county of Columbia and it is only by the
personal activity Of each one Of cur demo-
cratic fellow citizens that We can this fall
accomplish the same result.
Remember that we have the votes and
the more shame to us if we supinely permit
the glorious opportunity Of thrashing David
Wilmot, and the "nigger worshipping," "
bleeding Kansas" opposition, to pass by
unimproyed. Never was there time
when it more behooYcd the democratic
party to be active; not because it is so ne.
cessary in order to carry our ticket, but
because political stumping Judge and a
venal, corrupt and unprincpled opposition
are marching under a flag inconsistent in
all its devices. "Up, Guards, and at them -
Lay David Wilmot out cold now, and you
will have done with his proviso and his
niggerism in Pennsylvania forever
Friends, the secret of our success, apart
from our glorious principles, lies in our
harmonious action, our admirable order
1t lies 10 the solid column with which We
march to the polls and support our ticket
from top to bottom. 1t lies 10 the fact thai
We feel and act like brothers for measures
Of policy and not for men. 1t lies in the
fact that each man feels with his party
and that no personal feelings are allowed
TO seduce him from the support of his prin,
ciples.
Knowing the staunchness and dataImi
patton of our friends we call upon the
Fishingcreek country, to roll out to tht
polls its ,indomitable legions; upon the
western end of the county to stir up it
pine woods and rally its cohorts under oul
Gme honored banner; and we look to Scott
and Centre, and Briarcreek, to maintain
the battle as firmly as of yore; while from
the east side of the river, from Maine ant
Miflin, from Locust and Beaver, and thei
worthy rivals in democratic spirit we shal
have such q vote as it will be pride anc
pleasure to record.
The ticket, fellow democrats, as settle(
in the district and county, is eminentl.
worthy of your support. We need no
speak of the persons who compose it b.
name We have already done that at som
length in our columns; ard we now asl
you to give it that united and hearty sup
port SO characteristic Of your principle
and practice. Nothing can compensat
your remissness in this respect. Give Oh
day to your country, and see that no vote
remain at home The result Of the cleo
ton is in the hands of each one of yo
individually, and your country expects 20
to do your whole duty.
Don't cut the ticket. Vote it throug
from Packer to Yohe. Compare the non
inecs of the democratic party with those
the opposition, and you will be convince
