From all portions of the State we hear that
the people, irrespective of former political asso-
citations, are forming an overpowering and irre-
sistable Union party, for the sustaining of the
Constitution, the enforcement of the laws, and
the suppression of the wicked rebellion In
this union of sentiment no man is asked to for
swear allegiance to his old party connections
Democrats and Republicans alike meet on n
common ground and unitedly demand that pat
riots only can receive their suffrages in time
of peril like this. Political trimmers must get
out of the way, for they will find no sympathy
with the uncorrupted masses of the people who
revere the Union, undivided, and the Constitu /
ton untarnished. While such high handed
treason is raising its hydra head in portions of
the land, there should be but one party, one
thought, one object and that for the preservation
and safety of the Union. We are willing to
trust the people in such an emergency as this
If they can have the true facts of the case pre-
sented to them we are fully persuaded they will
act as as become patriots, and rise above parti-
sans. Let party feelings slumber now and all
good and true men rally around the Union STAN
dard. When this rebellion is quelled, and trail
tors South and North shall have laid down their
arms and returned to their allegiance, when the
Stars and Stripes, unrestricted, shall wave over
every portion of our territory, the questions OF
party policy can be reproduced But until that
time comes let it not be thought of.
The Union feeling throughout this county is
every day becoming more manifest, and were it
not for the organized and systematic deception
which is practced by few whose acts stamp
them as traitors at heart, the Union feeling
would be almost unanimous
Every day and every week the unsuspecting
and uniformed, honest-hearted men, are being
deceived and made to believe lie. They are
told that this ais an abolition war;" that "it has
been made by Mr.. Lincoln;" that "the admins
tration is incompetent to conduct the affairs OF
the government" and that "the taxes win ruin
them" These and other untrue statements are
whispered in their ears and appealing to their
preiudces they are made to believe them,
A straight party ticket has been frormed in
this county-called Democratic-every nominee
has mounted the Vallandighsm platform which
divested of gloss is traitorous enough to suit
South CaroliRian, it is perfect masked battery
and portion of it monstrous lie. The honest
Democracy throughout the county are asked TO
stand by the ticket and give it their votes If
they support that ticket they unwillingly and
and unknowingly stand upon that platform and
with Vallandigham, Cox, Noble d Co., declare
their willingness to compromise with traitors
thieves and pirates whose hands are reeking
with the blood of patriots slain. The SUCCESS
of that ticket and that platform in Sandusky
county ia victory for JEFF Davis, and an oper
and bold declaration of the righteousness and
iustness of the Confederate treason. Disguise
and deny it though they may this is the newt
able result We would in eandor say to the
honest masses, beware how you give heed to
the smooth yet deceptive advocates of this ticket
and this rotten planked platform.
