against the regular nominations Of the
Democratic party, which we deemed
sufficient: but since that time these men
together with their Abolition allies, have
been so busily engaged throughout the
County circulating Abolition documents
and endeavoring to deceive the people,
that we here give them further notice,
not because we have any fears at all Of
any of them being elected, but because
they profess to be Democrats. and

serve the purposes of men who belong to
base organization and meet in cow
stables to plot treason while honest men
are asleep.
Jimmy Carroll, who once enjoyed the
reputation of being Democrat, is the
first OF these apOstate renegades who is
trying to defeat the Democratic ticket.
/ Although but few years in the county
and an obscure journeyman tailor, he
managed, at the commencement Of this
war, to make himself conspicuous, and
/ obnoxious to the people of this county,
/ by ms open and avowed sympathies with
/ secession. So disgusting and treasonabIe
were his sentiments at that time. that. had
1t not been for his legs, which were more
discreet than his tongue, he would have
been disgracefully booted from the city of
Johnstown. Having merited the con-
tempt OF the citizens Of this county. till
finding himself Stunned and despised, he
sought refuge in the army by joining the
55th Reg. 2. Y, from which he was
subsequently dishonorably discharged.

TO his adopted county, and sought higher
honors at the hands Of the AbolitionistS.
who finding him pretty well SchooIed in
dirty tricks, at once listened to his en-
treaties, and resolved to use him as a tool.

claims TO be a Democrat, and is in secret

We hope no Democrat will so degrade
his politics as to vote for this renegade.
for we emphatically declare that he is not
Democrat and feel assured in the as
