Our County Ticket-The duty of Dem
Ocrats.

reference TO the candidates, personally
and to the duty of Democrats in this ex
traordin ary emergency, may not be out O
place,
:, For Assembly, we have DR. C. r. EARLY
of Elk county, and Geo. w. IIEGLER, Esq.
OF Jefferson county. Both of these gen.
tlemen are ready known to many of ou
citizens. DR.. Early is gentleman of ex
traordinary industry, fair talants, soun(
Democratic principles and unboundec
personal popularity at home. The charge
OF Know Nothing.sm made against him is
as unfair as it is mean and cor tcmptible
1t is true that like many OF the first Dem
ocrats of this vicinity, whom we could
name, were It necessary he was nveg,
led into partial initiation into the order
bnt discovering that its object was politi-
cal, he Immediately withdrew.
This statement we make by the author
ity Of one who knows, and who defies its
contradiction.
DR.. Early las neve: failed TO yield a
whole-souled support to the Democratic
ticket ever since he became voter, and
richly deserves the support of every Dem,
ocrat.
Mr. Ziegler is a leading member of the
bar, is a man of much talent, and has SER
we'd one or two sessions in the legislature.
should these two gentlemen be elected we
are quite sure'the interests of the people
of this district will lie much better atten-
dod to than they have been for several
years.
EDwAED PERKS. our candidate FOR Sher-
iii, is well known TO the people Of the
county. He is a native Of our county and
through his extraordinary energy and in
dustry, he has worked his way, alone and
unaided to comfortable circumstances, and
was ever ready, with willing hand and a
cheerful heart, to assist those who needed
assistance. His election is almost certain,
and that lie will make one of the most ex>
celent officers we have ever had, is be-
yound doubt,
JAMES BLOOM, Sr., and JouN D. TuoNp-
s)S, our candidates for Associate judges.
are too we'll known to require any recon-
mendation from US. Mr.. Bloom, is now
an old man, and was the first white male
child born in the county, and belongs to
one of the most numerous, Industrious
and entcrprising families Of the county
who have paid full share of the taxes,
and borne n full share Of the burthens OF
the county but very small share OF the
offices. Mr.. Thompson We believe is a
native ofthe county-son of the late lg>
natius Thompson, is a most worthy and
upright citizen, and excelleutly well quail
ifcd for the position.
Josgpn SHAW, another "native,born"-
son Of Hon. r. Shaw, Of this place our
candidate for County Treasurer. Like
the Blooms, the Shaws were among the
first settlers,snd likewise performed their
full share in butfeting the hordships ne>
cessarily encountered in building up our
county TO its preseut position; and like
wise without receiving fair share Of the
offices. Joseph Shaw is worthy and in
dustrinus farmer of Lawrence township,
and is well qualified for the position as
signed for him.
JACOB KuNTz, our candidate for COM
mis- ioner, is native of Germany; but
has resided in this county for over thirty
years so that even tie iliiberal resric-
tjous of Know Nothingsm would not
reach him. He is one of our most enter
prising and intelligent citizens, and in
whose hands the interests of the county
will be entirely te.
For District Attorney we have ISRAEL
TEST, Esq, who, if not anatise of the coun-
ty, comes within one o! it, as he was born
in Philipsburg. He is too well known to
require further notice-as his eloquent
appeals in support Of Democratic princi-
pies have been Leald from almost every
stump" in the county.
CoL. WoRkELL, our candidate for Coun-
ty Auditor is equally we'll known and
we may here state that he is candidate
against his expressed wish-thot, upon
seeing his name announced as a candidate
he addressed us letter, requesting us to
withdraw his name This we submitted
to the persons who had announced his
name. They declined to withdraw it
snd hence his nomination. The people
of the county should not fo!get that this
is one Of :he most important offices in
their gift.
DR.. POTTER, our candidate for Coroner,
is a native orClarion county, is young
man of excellent talents-grea energy,
