no human despotism can controt-fhs right
of self preservation. Even so, amid the
heavy current of this national tragedy, L, an
humble citizen of this distracted country,
have ventured to lift up the voice of counsel
and entreaty in your hearing, and to thank
you most kindly for your attention.
There is another question connected

keepers! Now the simple fact that man
is or was engaged in the sale of liquor may
not be sufficient in the opinion OF many to
ostracise him from all office, yet there are
some which ought not to be held by such
persons. How would it sound to have a
President Judge from among that class?
And does it sound any better for the asso-
ciates? Yet here are two candidates on
this SO called democratic ticket who have
spent great part Of their lives since ar
irving at manhood in the sale of liquor :;
and these are the men whom the Democrat
would set up as controlling judges on the
greatest moral question before the Ameri-
can people, and of all others of most in
terest to fathers, to mothers, to wives, to
brethren and sisters. All men will imbibe
more or less of prejudice for a vocation
they have followed, and out of which they
have realized money; and but few cases
have ever come to our knowledge where
men engaged in the sale of liquor have
stood up and acknowledged that in taking
his money they have wronged either the
unfortunate inebriate or the he pleSs fami-
ly who suffered through his degradation.
No, in ninety nine eases out of a hundred
they have stilled conscience by the excuse
that it they did not take it somebody else
would. We say therefore that neither
Mr.. Turner nor Mr.. Coplin, even setting
aside all other objections, are nominations
fit to be made, or proper persons to be eIec-
ted, as associate judges of this county
The next on the list is Mr. Sample, who
has been nominated for Treasurer. This
Office has been generally conceded to the
borough, and it must be consoling refec-
tion to those who have for years endeavor-
ed to climb the ladder, to find that one who
came to town last year and set up tavern
sign, has sampled them for all time to
come Mr.. SIS experience in public busi-
ness, 50 far as we know, has been confined
to the collectorship Of Oliver township;
and if it will take him (should he be cleo
ted) as long to redeem county orders as
it has to settle up his duplicate, the hold
ers may well pray for relief of some kind

The Seat Of War.

From all that We can gather it is evil
dent that mighty preparations are being
made both at Washington and st. Louis to
take the field against the Southern trait
ors. At the former place there must be at
least 100000 troops, and at the latter per-
haps one half that number, whom Ere
mont will soon have under proper drill. \
few more blows at the Southern coast like
the latteras affair, will show the traitors as
well as those whom they have betrayed,
,chot eru' *, aud perhaps bring them to
their senses. When news does come, we
think it will be stirring.
The Mobile Tribune Of the % inst.
states that whilst the Conftdcrates were
employed in attempting to raise the dry
dock they We're fired npon from Fort Pick
ems, first with blank cartridge, and then
with shot and shell, forcing the men to
leave The Tribune calls this an outra-
geous act OF wAr" The Confedcrates, it
will be recollected, some time ago foated
out the dry dock with the intention of
sinking it in the channel. 1t became I'M
manageable md drifted over toward Fort
Pickens. Col. Brown then gave them no.
tice that if they attempted to move the
dry dock he would fire upon them, and has
now been as good as his word
From Hatteras Inlet, via Old Point, we
have important news. The steam gun
boats Monticello and Harriet Lane had ar
rived, leaving at the Inlet the Pawnee and
Susquehanna. The eSusquehanna ran down
to Ocracoke Inlet and found that the Con-
federates had abandond their strongly for
titled forts at that point, and carried away
the guns. The occupation of the coast
of that portion Of North Carolina by the
Government has developed quite readi-
ness to abandon the Secession cause. The
white flag is everywhere displayed, and

The Two Tickets.

The voters of this county will bear us
witness that We left no effort untried to
prevent all party feeling this fall by the
formation ST a Union ticket, but the Lew
istown Democrat, fancying that political
capital could be made by crying out
against the State Government with vague
and indefinite charges of corruption, and
against the General Government by charg-
ing the Lincoln administration with the
war taxes, with few cents increase in the
price of coffee and tea, together with a
fling at republican abolitionism now and
then, declined to second any such arrange
ment, and stated specifically that it want
ed member to legislate under the first
programme. \ ticket was accordingly
nominated, embracing several of the most
violent Breckenridge men in this county
men who have denounced the war COM
menced by the Southern traitors in the
most obnoxious language, and who in cleo
tloneering have not serupled to charge the
Lincoln administration with all enumerated
above, as well as sundry additions of their
own. Some of them toe stand ia the
doubtful position of being peace" advo-
Gates of that class built up BY that trait

there is good reason to believe that at least
one was instrumental in circulating that
Infamous publication
Whether the Democrat has found that
such wholesale denunciations would NOT
pay, or felt satisfied with the cue it had al
ready given its political hacks, the last
number comes out with an appeal to drop
all discussion respecting the candidates,
but in doing so declares that no one can
with 'truth and honesty" gainsay the as
sertlon that its ticket is composed of as
worthy men as ours. 1t also alleges that
1t Is purely political question-that is,
the Chicago Platform vs. Democracy.
We have no doubt it would be bioblv
.
gratifying to the patent democracy that we
should pass over its ticket without word
of comment, because a weaker one has
never been nominated by that party in this
county. Gen. Butler, Gen. Cass, Messrs.
Dix, Dickinson, Holt, Judge Mill, and
many others of eminenee, unanimously de-
