Statc,s Attorney.

Since Mr. Jones has been induced to
take the track for States Attorney, repub-
licanis!n has been in iutter on account
Of the certainty OF his election over their
own half dozen candidates, and they have
been caucussing week to concentrate on
one man. They could do so easily enough
if the leaders hadn't, months ago, fore
doomed the only candidate on their list
whom the masses of that party want But
their strongest candidate is naturally I'M
willing to be chohed off for the Court
House pet, whom he can beat before the
people two to one.
The Office cuts no figure politically, and
as Mr.. Jones is the best lawyer on the
track, the public good at least will be the

Republicanism vs.. The Constitution.

Can Republican doctrines prevail with
out change of the Constitution? That
party IS at war with the Constitution upon
the following points:
lst Upon the return Of fugitive slaves.
The Constitution commands, and the re-
publican party iorbids, obedience.
"a. Upon the return Of all criminals the
Constitution commands surrender, bat
the republican party reserves to Governors
the right to discriminate among criminals
remanding whom they choose aud protect
IN whom they may.
81. The Constitution provides for sys-
tenn Of representation. The republican
party are dissatisfied with it.
It'll. The Constitution provides for the
admission OF new States, upon an equality
with the original States OF the Union
i'e republican party demands no more
slave States
9th. The Constitution makes the Su-
prcme Court the final arbiter Of all litiga-
ton. The republican party proposes to
''reorcanize the supreme Court u appeal
70 the masters of the Court" 10 destroy

Appoint ChaiieU|ers.

Democrats Of every town in the county,
by no means neglect to appoint two or
three determined men to stand at every
poll SIS challengers. When one is obliged
to leave, have another to take his place
The Republicans conscious that, by fair
vote their majority will lie cut down iii this
county, and that some of their local candi-
dates will be defeated will resort to every
device to get in Illegal votes. Corn husk-
ers from strong Republican quarters are
among their most convenient devices fol-
the importation Of votes. Let every strange
face be promptly challenged.

NV YoEE-The Republicans herea
bouts affect TO laugh at the idea that Lin
coin will be beaten in New York, and say
the confidence Of the Union men in then
success is all affected. Facts like the fol
lowing, however, DO not look like merC
blowing The Times says bets are ahund
an;ly offered against Lincoln in New York
city. Dean Richmond has bet 3 1000 OF
the result in that State; and Peter CagSeI
| advertises 10 take bets to the amount o
100000 that Lincoln will not receive the
electoral vote of the State. The Herald
remarks that 1T is notorious that Dir. Gag
ger never makes any bad bets-and the
fact that previous to the making OF thu
ticket. and since The first attempt 10 form
Union ticket, leading Lincoln men hay:
offered large bets that Mr. Lincoln would
carry New York, and now decline to take
such bets, would go very strongly to SHOW
that Mr.. c., as usual, knows what he Is

But this we can endorse, because we know

Young Nen.

To young men about to cast their first
Presidential vote, we have a few words
to say. You never heard an old or middle
aged man, who had cast his first Presidential
vote for the Democratic candidate, say
that he regretted it. Ask the leading Re
publcans in this town-from middle to
hoa?y age-for whom they cast their first
Presidential vote-anu they will strengthen
up with pride in sn instant and say for
the Democratic candidate Many viii say
this, whether they did so or not Why is
this SO? Is 1t d reproach 10 have belonged
to tho old Federal party, the old National
Republican party the Anti-Masonic party,
or the Wing party? These parties in the
aggregate, were composed o. probably a.
honest honorable, and patriotic men -
the Democratic party. Why, then. Is il
that your experienced politicians take
such an especial pride in having cast Tor
their first vote, Democratic vote? Il is
