UNrON DEMOCRACY OF TRINITY ca
m TuE

Aran have your Representatives in Conven-
tion placed before you nominee for Legislative
bonors, and again you called upon to vindi
cate bv your suffrages the time honored and tried
principles of your party.
At no period in the history of our country have
we been called upon as party or as citizens TO
act with the same degree of flrmness and patriot
ism as at the present, for the purpose of putting
down rebellion on the one hand and fanaticism
on the other, and we hope and believe you who
have never yielded your sound Judgment to the
whirlwnds of passion and prejudice will in this
irving hour of our country's trouble prove to
the world that your principles are nnyieding in
favor of the Constitution of the United States.
as our fathers gave it to us, which alone secured
to us all the blessings of life, liberty, property
and happiness.
every citizen to aid by all Constitutional means
the suppression of the rebellion OF the South and
restore a union of territory and people as here.
tofore enjoyed by us, and whilst we will lend our
support TO the utmost OF our abilities for this
purpose, we will not countenance any measure
that will have a tendency to interfere with The
institution of slavery by the General Govern
ment, believing as we do that the people of
State have the exclusive right to regulate their
domestic institutions in their own way.
If this violation of that sacred instrument is
permitted to be perpetrated without notice by
us. how long will it be before the whole instru-
ment is torn to threads, and we be found in o
worse rebellion in the North than that which
now exists in the South. No inducement should
force us from a strict construction of that instru
ment, for in compliance with its mandates in
all respects we fnd peace and happiness, and as
necessary consequence, in violation of the
strict construction of that instrument, we find
anarchy and Reorganization. Rally to your
standard in your conservative principles alone.
and 10 their ultimate success do we see a bright,
glorious and happy future awaiting our country.
Your candidate is before you, q true a loyal,
a constitutional Democrat Be true to your
selves and his election is secured.

HONEST AND CAPABlE.-We hope to see Trini-
ty county give John SWEET, Union candidate for
Superintendent Of Public Instruction, fine ma
jorty next Wednesday. Up TO the impotent and
vilainous administration of James Buchanan he
was Democrat OF the old School. Then be
sickened and left it. For the greater portion of
bis life he has been a school teacher, and conse
quehtly is fitted for the position both bv educa-
ton and practice. Further be is an unequivocal
Union man. His several speeches made since the
opening of the compaign prove that John SWEET
is Just the men for the place. A contemporary
pays him the following merited compliment in
reviewing the several candidates before the peo-
pie:
Between these three men who look to the
interests OF the scbools-one ofthe most important
interests we have any control over--no Union
citizen will hesitate long which to choose
Fitzgerald is out of the question: for his political
Bfinties, in these days when politics concern the
very life Of our Government, utterly disqualify
him, in spite of his exec llent personal character
10 have any thing to do with the education Of
young Americans. Stevenson is a good enough
soldier for anything we know TO the contrary,
hut be knows no more what our schools need than
SWEET does about drill or military tactics"
No man can doubt his loyalty, and none should
doubt his fitness for his position over the oppos-
ing candidates.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1862-08-30

For AssEMBLr.-Next Wednesday is election
day. and the people Of the county will have an
opportunity OF deciding whether N. w. Person
ettc, the Union nominee, or Hon. J. S.
Pitzer, candidate Of the Union Democratic party,
shall represent them in the next Legislature.
Judge Pitzer is an able man for the position,
and In times past has been a tower Of strength"
TO the Douglas Democratic cause. But as we
have said before, we believe be is on the wrong
tack, and that he will be defeated. At any other
time and under other circumstances ii might have
been different, but we believe combination Of
circumstances will result i'll electing him to stay
at bone.
Mr.. Personette is not politician. But be has
always been Democrat, and is Democrat still.
The people of this county are assured that he
never voted any other than the Democratic ticket.
He is censured for leaving his party this year,
and accused of having changed his politics. We
would merely refer those who make the charge
TO the varied political career Of his opponent
during the past five years. If Mr.. Personete's
is inconsistent, t&en is dge Pilzer's more
The matter rests with the voters of Trinity

A COOP JoKs.-One Of the best jokes of the
day is to be found in the manner and object Of
the "call" for Convention to be held in this
place on the 30h 1t must be clearly seen that
it was not done for the purpose of making
nominations, or putting man before the people
to advocate those sacred rights" which are
proclaimed in the address published last week.
Union men will see by sitting the thing that it
was for far different purpose.
If nomination was intended the Convention
would not of course be put of until the very
of the election. We must not, however, withhold
the benefit of an explanation made us The other
day in justification of the delay in calling Il
convention. A friend Informed US that the ad-
dress or proclamatiOn' [as he named i'll was
written over two months ago and forwarded to
jeff Davis, at Richmond. Al that time jeff was
sick at Raleigh, North Carolina, so the paper
was detained in Richmond uutil his return. lie
Immediately approved the wisdom and patriot
ism of the CALL and eDj jOined upon the true DEM
ocrats not to make any nominations this year, bat
to exact heavy specifications for next year from
their misguided Democratic brethren. jeff eX-
pressed the belief that the Corn-ted-eracy might
hold out another year if the true Democracy only
acted in manner hat becomes patriots-that is
to say, gobble up and rally everything under
the holy name Of Democracy" that is in JaUOr
Of the Union, but opposed to Lincoln preserving
it. If there is any truth in this matter then the
Brccknridgers will not make any nomination,
but simply call in the true Democrats aud renew
old friendships, then agree on the programme to
be followed next Wednesday.
Time will tell whether our old secesh friend
who gave us the above information was trying to
sell" us or not.

The Union Democrats and Republicans united

TO MY FELLOW CITIZENS OF TRINITY COUNTY -
In announcing myself a candidate for your sufrages

occupy SUCH and the why accepted the honor
Of a nOpina ton Long previous to the call for meet
ing Of any Of the entiOns held in Weayerye
received from personal and political friends press
ing invitations soliciting to become candidate for
the Assembly. To these invitations and to mica
tons from gentlemen with whom had not the plea
of a personal acquaintance, made reply nd
cep the suggestions ntruded upon them in behalf of
others and the expression of my reluctance to be-
come a candidate
when the late Union Convention met in weavervilTe
recognized many of its delegates old and consistent
political friends with whom had acted for many years
1t equally notable to observe the presence of gentle
men delegates who had belonged to and acted with DIFF
feent parties in the past could not but feel impressed
with the belief that so large convention il
was of true and patriotic men, had assembled for higher
and nobler object than that of marking out partizan
for the future. The crisis through which
country struggling and the priceless heritage for which
the Government contendng is Of such magnitude as to
the mind Of every loyal citizen consideration par
nomination, and the high and honorable motives which
prompted the Convention to bestow it, called for sa
flee of principle from Under these circumstances
did feel at liberty to decline nomination made by
clsmation and by convention too, in my opinion actu-
ated by the purest and most elevated purposes
In reference to the position occupy as candidate
have only to you individually my fellow citizens,
the pledge made to the Union Convention and that is
thai shall stand by the Administration in its efforts to
preserve the from the foul grasp of treason
until the odou rebellion into which our country has
been forced shall have been crushed out and
