counted from the ballot-box for the already formed
decision to lie euunciated that Gov STEVENS is our
delegate for the next two years. This we now regard
as a fixed fact yet whilst we do so, we would here
take occasion to remind the democracy that tie trhois
OF their legislative and other county nominations for
Office, are not quite sure Of success in this and
other counties unless something like solid front be
presented npon the dsy of tie elcttior II depends
upon the people to determine whether they will have

As we said last week, powerful combination has
been organized in this county for tie defeat of por
ton Of the regular nominated democratic ticket. to
the end that the two hybrid" town candidates Of the
opposition may gain triumph over two OF the regu-
lar nominees from the country We then took occa-
sion to warn the democracy against surrehdeng their

revolutionary measures that an apparent majority Of

to their party revolution aud disorganzation have
been the paramount and leading features which have
governed their position in each legislative assembly
for the past four Eve years. Let be remembered
that few disappointed yet aspiring politicians iol
that length OF time, have been endeayorng to snatch
the government Of our county politics and retain it il
