Electoral Ticket.


place, for the 4th District We have stricken out
Z Judge Shepherds name by his own request as wilt
be seen by his letter in eur paper to-day. He is
unwilling to allow the use of his name when he feels
sure that previous engagements would prevent HIM
from meeting the College on the first Wednesday
in December Mr.. Mckay resides in the same
County with Judge Shepherd, and entertains SINH
lar views on public affairs to those of Judge S.
With our cotemporary of the Register, and many
other papers in the State. shall cordially support
this ticket, which has been recommended to us by
Many Voters" and endorsed by gentlemen of
various shades of opinion 1t is by far the best
ticket we have SEEN and the most just in its compo
siton to the past and present political condition of
the State; and while we regret that any thing like
contest has been forced upon us, and while we
have honestly and sedulously labored to avoid
contest, we have no doubt of the election of the
above ticket by large majority We shall not go
into analysis of this ticket to-day, as we have
done sebefore and every intelligent voter knows
as well as we do, the antecedents and the present
position of the gentlemen who are thus presented
for the peoples suffrages. But another ticket has
been presented by few ultra presses, headed with
the names of MeSsrS. Rodman and Guion and an
attempt mas been made to produce the impression
that Messrs Rodman and Guion, and Mr.. Long and
others on this ticket have been designated by the
people, or portion of the people, as their choice
Ne impression could be more unfounded. So far,
for example, as Mr.. Long is concerned we think we
could prove from the Western Democrat and the
Salisbury Watchnaan, that but a few persons from
but two Counties in the Sth District have designated
Mr.. Long; and that Mr.. Long himself called the
little Convention in Charlotte which recommended
him for Hector. But be this as 1t may, we are sat
s6ed that the people of the Sth District would pre-
fer Capt. Walker to Mr.. Long; and we go further
and say, that while by courtesy and right the peo-
pie Of the Districts, when they choose to do So des
ignate their candidates for the office of Eectur still
the vote is by general ticket and the whole people
of the State must be consulted E making nominal
lions. We prefer Gov. Graham to Mr.. Rodman,
Gov. Reid to Mr.. Guion, Mr.. Wooten to Mr. Bond
Gov. Bragg to Mr.. Edwards Col. Brown to Cow
Reid for the 9th District Capt. Walker to Mr.. Long
and Mr.. Merrimon to Mr.. Woodfn and we shall
vote accordingly, and urge our friends to do the
sanIc- But this expression of preference has been
forced upon us-we would gladly have avoided
it if We could. TIE ultra presses referred to would
have completed their ticket in one aspect if they
had presented the name of Warren Winslow along
with that of Mr. GuioH for the State at large. They
would thus have had for the State at large an out
andout Military B0arh ticket. The attempt thus
made to obtain from the people of the State an en-
dorsemer! Of the Military Board, by presenting
portion Of it for their suffrageS is covert we admit
but it is the less offensive to both the people
and the soldiers, whose interests have suffered by
that Board, and who want nothing to DO with its
defunct members.
The Wilmington JOurnal, in raising the Rodman
and Guion ticket, evidently means to question the
soundneSs of such men ticket as Graham and
Brown. We have no space to-day for the Journals
remarks, but may give them in next.
We trust our friends both at home and in the
camps will vote the ticket headed with Graham and
Reid. This is fair, just noparty ticket. 1t is the
very ticket for the crisis; and its triumphant cleo
ton will do much to rcpresS that baneful spirit of
party which is, unfortunately, making itself felt
among US. Vote the ticket all the way through, as
you find it in the Register, StaHdard and other pa
pers in the State that adopt the Graham and Reid
ticket; and in this way Danish strifr promote har-
mony and good feeling and put down the hydra
head Of party raised for selfish purposes in
midst
