We presume there is not d voter in the state Of

They have discharged the duties of their high

moment, might lead our enemies to believe, or
endeayor to inculcate the idea, that there were
divisions Of opinion among US, when the history of
the world may be searched in vainfor an example
Of such nnanimity among any people.
Being all in favor of the election Of Davis and
Stephens, the question arose as 10 how the public
convenience could be best subserved, in the way
OF setting up an electoral ticket. Heretofore,
political conventions have taken these matters in
charge. At the present time, however, there is no
opportunity Of holding State Conventions, the time
Intervening being too short and if there was, it
would be q procedure Of undignifed policy--ali
the sufragans being one side. Hence, a neees-
sity arose, and to prevent clashing, through the
running Of different tickets, and to enable the peo-
1 pie Of the Commonwealth to vote for their distin-
guished fayorites in solid phalanx, meeting OF
well known gentlemen, from various portions OF
the State was held, and after extended consnlta-
4 ton animated by o sincere desire to serve the
general convenience in the premises, il was con-
cluded to present. electoral ticket, and torecor-
mend it to the dispassionate consideration of the
4 public That ticket will be found in another col
ANN together with the address of the gentlemen
concerned inits getting up, and to neither do we
suppose it is specially necessary to direct the at
tenton of our readers as they always look closely
| into such matters. 5, sss
The address, preiiX ed to the names composing the
electoral ticket is calmly and judieousy written,
and needs neither comment nor explanation. 1t
speaks for itself, and WILL in our Judgment elicit
widespread, as well as universal commentator.
The ticket is excellent. We are unable, at this
| writing, to imagine how objection can be urged
against it,. The electors and alternates are made
up from our oldest and best citizens in whom
implicit reliance can be placed and they are
pledged, in the explicit language Of the address,
to vote for Jefferson Davis and Alexander FL.
STEPHENS. \. If the candidates for President and
Vice President do not coincide with their ideas,
they are bound in honor to decline the positions
thus rendered them at the earliest possible mo-
ment. ytfas. l a
These being our views, we trust the ticket thus
presented will be accepted by the people of the
State--that our glorious chief leaders will receive
general endorsement that the labor of those
who have honestly endeayored to advance the
public good and snbserVe the general convenience,
without single selfish motive in view-will be re-
garded in its proper light. ~
