be sustained inviola,e; that the lawless invas
ion OF soil Of any State or Territory ie grave
crime; that the Opposition party does not
seek the Abolition party does not seek the aoo-
hon Of slavery where it now exists, but leaves
its ameIioration and ultimate abandonment to
the moral and religious forces pertaining TO
the slavsholding community. assured Of the

The APPROACHING CHARTER ELEc-
rroS.-We would suggest TO the proper
officers that they call club meeting Of the
Democracy to talk over matters and things
connected with the approaching municipal
election. We know that some Of our Demo.
cratic fellow citizens are in favor Of running
an Independent ticket, not letting politics enter
into the sanvass at all. We are decidedly op>
posedto anything Of the kind That dodge
has been tried once too often in this city. and
We are down on repeating the experiment.
One trouble with these independent tickets 10,
the fact that very large prep pondersncs Of the
candidates eomposing them are opponents Of
the Democracy they forget. when elected.
that it vas Democratic votes placed them
in the positions they occupy. and they
Invariably turn the cold shoulder upon those
they have used to such On excellent purpose
for the time. We 60 in for straight out nom-
