NEWS FROM THE COCNTRY.

These truths being selfevident incontroye Ihde,

We never open the Sugar Planter without finding
something new in it. In its last ssue-that Of the
10th nstant-we came across the following newest
sort Of fresh intelligence, which we take the earliest
opportunity of spreading before the public. Here
it is:
The OPPOSITION T1cKsT.-As the time gradually
| approaches for the appearance of the Opposition
State Ticket. there is a great shaking among the
weakened Democrats and the dry bones of that old
organization. On Monday the ticket will be per.
fected and we are satisfied from all we know of the
affair that it will be all that can be expected from it.
There thousands Of voters in this State who Bit
tery detest the present Democratic State ticket and
the despicable method by which it was ushered into
existence, and who only await fair opportunity to
box in November next. From tho depths Of our
charitable heart we pity the Slidelians that proper
vengeance ia about overtaking them, and, for one
shall endeavor to make their defeat fall as lightly
upon them possibly can If, in their cherries
excursion up Salt river next November, they shall
require our consoling company, nothing will afford
us greater pleasure than to escort and them safely
landed there. Stand from under when that ticket
comes out!
The above is news-a news, news in detail and
in aggregate-to us. We had heard some talk Of
forming an Opposition State Ticket" and that was
about ALL We had supposed that the project had
ended in smoke, in complete non-action until the

and that momentous event is on the eve of trans

we are satisfied from all we know of the affair, tina
it will be all that can be expected from it." Well
when it is perfected" we suppose it will be pub
lished, and then we will be enabled to Judge thor

the probabilities Of its success. The time was and ma

could have swept the State, taken at least two Of th
Congressional Districts, and carried majority of tn
Legislature. 1t is rather late in the season now, bu
a strong ticket composed of active, able and indus
trious men, who would pitch into the canvass with
will and visit every portion of the State and addres
the people every where, would make formidabl
showing, even if it did not command success. Th
opposition to the iron rule of the one man power
