our Nominees
We this week nnfarl our banner TO the
breeze bearing on It's folds the name of Hon.
Stephen a. Douglas, Of Illinois, rs the Dem.
ocratic candidate for President Of the United
States, and while we cheerfully nail that ban.
ner TO the masthead bearing the name it
does for President and supported by the i'm.
pregnsble platform adopted nj Charleston, we
shall as cheerfully and uniiringly labor for the
success Of the ticket in the political contest
which is now commenced. Hon. Stephen A
Douglas Is the nominee Of the Democratic
National Convention, aud we shall hope TO see
every Democrat come mahially and labor for
his election. We shall not stop 10 write any
biographical sketch Of his hfe--he needs i
not-he IL known 10 the nation aud the world.
No man need stop and enquire who he is, for
his name and his public acts are familiar to
every one, aud to not he familiar with his life
would be TO acknowledge the grossest igno-
rance.
The platform which was adopted at Charles.
ton and which was retained without any change
at Baltimore, as is wellknown, meets with our
most hearty endorsement The principles
contained in it especially in regard to slavery
in the territories, are such as have been stead
lily advocated by us ever since we became ed
itor Of this paper. And not only have we ad-
vocated in the Telegraph the right ofthe poop
lie Of a territory TO protect or exclude slavery,
rs they see proper, but the Democracy Of But
Ter county in Convention assembled, one year
ago, declared in favor of the same doctrine,
holding il TO be the true solution ofthat vexed
question, and when the same is made one OF
the planks in the National Platform, what else
could be expected than that we would give il
our most hearty endorsement, an endorsement
which the Democracy Of Butler county will mp
prove of
Now that the ticket is nominated and in the
field, We hope to see all party differences laid
aside. Those petty strifes among ourselves,
are but 80 much food for the enemy, and while
by such actions we are losers in every respect,
the enemy always ON the lookout, is that
much the gamer. Therefore, let no individu-
al preferences prevent any Democrat from
putting his shoulder to the wheel, and exert.
ing his strength to the extent Of his ability, in
favor Of the regular ticket There are those
who may feel 10th TO give up their favorite can.
didate, their attachment for him is warm; bui
gentlemen, we beseech you as true Democrats
to let the success Of the great Democratic par

let it be the guiding star by which to direct
your course. Throw aside all minor mat

the election of the regular Democratic ticket
This should be the course Of every Democrat,
and we trust will be.
For Vice President, we place beneath the
name offs. A. Douglas, the name of Herschel
V. johnson Of Ceorgia. We do this with the
understanding that Hon. Benz. Fitzpatrick o
Alabama, who was nominated at Baltimore
declined to accept the nomination, and thai
the National Central Committee by midni
nous vote substituted the name Of Mr.. John
son. Mr.. johnson is a prominent Democrat
of Georgia, and has twice been elected Cover
nor of that State. He accepted the nomina
ton in person.
Now that the ticket is in the field, as we be
fore stated, we shall have no other aim in
view but to give it an energetic support, make
every e~xertion in our power to secure its
election and preserve the Democratic party
We shall treat all Democrats as Democrats
shall war upon none of them, but shall labor
to restore harmony and good feeling among
the members, that being the only way in which
we can secure a victory. Every effort shall
be made by us to unite the Democracy in sup
port Of the regular ticket We hope the De
mocracy of Butler county will go to work il
good earnest, organize in every school district
and let the organization be complete. Let NJ
now roll up our sleeves, go to work with a will
and let our watchword be, Democracy anC
Victory
