We have been informed that q few OF the
pronineut me nbers Of our party in this coun-

We find our constituents throughout the
entire cOunty--with very few exceptions
rampant for Vallandgham and after very
close examination Of our Interior we find
every 6bor Of our being also rampant for this
featcs, and ablN champion Of constitutional
and popular rights. The cry along the whole
! liue is "NALLASDIGHANI 1t is unanimous in
the country and were it not for some half
dozen IN this place and New Lexington, the
cobHlg Would be unanimous f-' 20

refer uubslievers 10 the resolutions of the
| Democracy Of jackson township passed at
their recent mass meeting, in this papor.-
rhsy are unanimous for Val. and it is so
Ieyervwhero ontside of the two towns above

The argument nsed by these few of onr
friends who oppose our mans nomination isi
| The will not get the army vote, and cou-
Isequently will be defeated. This, rs there
"a none other TO be had, IS Of conr3s the best
hobby to ride on But the argument does
not amount to anything Such talk is only
helping the Opposition to get the army vote.
| The Democrats in tbe army will vote the
| Democratic ticket to man, IL they only get
an opportunity. and if Vallaudgham does
not get the Democrats stteng 9Th in the army,
70 other candidates would The Opposition
euders in the army, who will endeavor TO
| make the Democratic boys vote heir ticket
1r mono at ALL will make mo distinction BE-
tween 20 between Democrat and radical
lone Just 60 he runs on the Democratic
ticket Is sufficient for them to oppose him,
sith the assistance, too, of all the powers
that be And this thing Of a Democratic
candidate trying to be as near like the oPpos-
iRq candidate as possible should be played
,ut If Democratic principles-to the letter
are not worth political 6ght. the party
lsd better quit" II won't do to stand on
he Abolition platform with one foot and on
be Democratic platform With the other. We
want both feet right on the Democratic plat
form This soft position is called by come
i l"policy The old proYerb, honesty is the
pest policy, will apply as well to political
matters asto anythingelse And il is certaiu-
the most honest TO act as one believes,--if

cratic principles, openly aud .tearlessly.
We nevor eoald see any honesty Of pnr pose
in mans protesting one party 4 principles,
and advocating At the same time, in part, with
the Opposition. We.see this carried ontto-
day rather extensively For instance, some
