Democratic Nominations.
1'he Election.

As this number Of our paper will reach
many Of our subscribers in time for the
election, we cannot forbear saying few
words on the subject.
1t is true this is a local election, county
officers only to be chosen, but nevertheless
it is one of vital interest to the Democratic
party. If we succeed this fall, the county
will be firmly Democratic hereafter. If
we can defeat the combined flrces Of the
Shoddies and the Leaguers nov, it will be
IN easy task for US to put to flight the
enemies OF the constitution at future cleo.
tio1s.
There are some Democrats who are MUIR
muring about the ticket, and EXPRESSING
Dissatisfaction because Mr.. Koehler was
nominated for Treasurer. To such we
would say, that this is not the time to talk
about that matter. Mr. K0ehlsr has,
from the commencement, declared that be
did not desire to te candidate unless it
was the choice Of the PARTY that be should
be. He said be would support the nominee
whoever he might be, and annou need that he
would cheerfullg cooperate with the party
in whatever action it might take in the
premises. .s
A majority Of the convention while they
| duly appreciated the worth and fitness OF
| the other candidates, thought that the east
ern portion Of the county was entitled to
the candidate for Treasurer, az that was
the only Office to be filed at this electic n
worth coutenjiug for, and united on Mr..
koehler as such candidate. The uomina.
ton was given to Mr. Koehler, not an ac-
count of any bargain heretofore made, as
has been fal sely charged, but because the
Democrats Of the eastern towns presented
him as their choice. and claimed his nomi-
nation as matter Of Justice to that section
Of the county.
And in reference to the Vows and posi-
ton of Mr.. Koehler on the political issues
of the day, we can vouch for his sountness
This administration has cured him of all
sym! atby with the Republican party, and
whether elected or NOT, hereafter he will be
found fighting shoulder to shoulder with
the friends of the Union and constitutions
liberty against the men and party whose
usurpatians and wrongs have well nigh
hurled this glorious nation into the abyss
( of destruction.
Therefore. Democrats, borrow 90 uneasi
ness about the views of Mr. K5ehler, fol
they are ell right; but go to work fol
the whole ticket, and do not until ever,
Democratic voter is brought to the polls.
A full Democratic vote to day will Sc
cure a victory. Hence we appeal TO on
Democratic friends TO stop finding faul
with this one or that one, and to arouse tt
the mgortance Of the contest There car
be much done between now ard the Close
of election this evening; and if Democrat
woul secure triumph in the future an
rebuke the calumuiators and slarder.

Religious Movement.

The Springfield Register says that the
Methodist Conference held in that city last
week passed q resolution declaring in SUBJ
stance, that no man who refused to worship
Lincoln and vote the abolition ticket could
be christian, and that it was the duty of
the Methodist church everywhere to expel
all such from its membership. That is
stating the case fairly. The Conference is
entitled to credit for candOr AMI frankness
ia ad0pting this resolution. As the worship
Of Abraham Lincoln instead of the worship
Of Almighty God has become an essential
Rrtisla in the creed of that church, it is
right aud proper that Democrats should be
turned out ofchurch. We hope cur Metho-
Dist friends will clean ont" the last waH
Of them. No mao has any business 10 an
abolition church who refuses to vote the
abolition ticket. That's saund doctrine,
and is doubtless scriptural-in the opinion
of the abolitioHists. Lat the last msr of

Get Gut the Voters!

There will still be some time to work
after this meets the eyes of many rcaders.
Let that time be devoted to active work.
With full vote we can achieve a vic.
tory that will tell in our favor.
Such being the case, it would be shame
to lose the election from neglect or iuat-
tenti1n. Active, energetic effort will pro-
cuce the desired result.
Again we appeal to our Democratic
friends to get out the voters. A single vote
elected the Republican candidate for Coun-
ty Treasurer six years ago, and a single
vote may decide the contest in cur faycr
to-day.
Therefore, Democrats, see to it that
every Democratic voter is at the polls.
Democrats =! Freemen! Victory is within
our reach. Let US grasp it wLile we have
the opportunity.
By means of the Loyal League orgaui-
cation the full abolition strength of the
county will be broughsto the polls. Let as
see to 1t thatOurs is there also.
