SPLIT TICKETS y

LOOK OUT FOR THEM -
We hear that tickets are in circulation in
this County, purporting to be Republican
tickets, but with the name of Addison Peck
inserted for one Of the Judges, instead Of
Z. G. WATSON LOOK OUT FOR THEM
Let the Town Committees be on the alert.
lest some of them ore worked into the bal
lot-box, through the hands of the unwary.
How many other traps may be set, in the
way Of slit tickets, we know not but Rcpub-
lcans cannot be too watchfu.

RErREsENTATIvE DEMooRAT.-JoHN G.
SAKE when nominated by the democrats for
governor, iacetiously referred the people to
his first annual message" for full exposition
Of his political sentiments. SO far as we can
Judge of his present political convictions they
are substantially embodied in his famous cpl
gram of 1854, upon the Kansas Protest of
the 5000 clorgymen of New England, and
which we here reproduce:
THE NEBRASKA BILL.
sAxB.
This wonderful Nebraska bin has wrought
A miracle that noer was or thought:
Three thousand priests Of pure New England breed
Who never in one point Of faith agreed
And never will again---hat n be sworn
Till the last leaf from Times old book Is torn
Have tuned their thrOats 10 harmonious strain
And draw together both by Bit and rein.
Religion ne'er could bind them in one tether
But politics have brought these saints together
Aud knit them, not By Christian love Of others
But Christian hatred Of their Southern btothgrs
Immediately thereafter there appeared in
one of our State papers tie following re-
Spouse, and one which is quite pertinent to
the epigram:
Another wonder comes Of this Nebraska bill
A miracle that hath, with rs, been on enacted;
A playof tOadics 20 their masters will
And full submission made TO all oxaeted
Three thousand dOughfaced men Of Northern soil
Now read the roll-oall, and for aid are suing
To help them gather up the wreck and spoil
or that which comes OF Northern wreck aud ruin
These not urged by "bit REIN OF cen by halter
But are by sa,oash driven wherc'er they chance 10
fllter.
Democracy could ne'er bind them in any "tether"-
The "loayes and fishes" only keep these honest
souls together;
] By loayos seduced-on fishes fed
by Slavery caJnled, aud by their masters led
They an would spread their net and with the ready pct
Teach simple folk their subteties---and then,
When out of wit, Of wisdom. or Of facts
They give, instead, an epiqam from SAKE.
