The so-ealled Democratic party, which
embraces all the dislOyal votes among US, is
thoroughly organized and in the field with
strong ticket, while the loyal voters are di-
vided between three or four candidates for
each Office in the county. The result, If snch
a state Of affairs continues until after the
election Say, will be the success of the dis
loyal party. Are loyal men willing that such
a result shall become possible through their
dissensions II not, then something must
be done to prevent it, and that without de-
law II Is useless to ask or expect the yarl-
Gus candidates to harmonic and agree upon
a ticket The loyal voters themselves must
select the names from the list before them,
and then support il at the polls in body.
The difficulty appears TO be TO hit upon some
plan TO effect consolidation which shall be
most satisfactory TO the conflicting interests
as a whole.
The Regular Union Ticket was first no
minated, but il was not satisfactory to a
large portion of the Union party. for various
reasons not necessary to partieularize here.
Ii caused another nominating organization
TO be looked upon with good deal Of favor
oy a very large and respectable portion Of
the party. This organization put forth
ticket which, as 4 whole, was as little, II not
less Objectionable, than the regular ticket.
Since both have been placed before the pub
lie, the disloyal party has placed ticket IN
the field, no doubt emboldened 10 do so By
the division in the ranks of the Union party.
Thus the issue between loyalty and disloyal-
ty is presented and must be met. The forces
on one side are united, earnest and sklllfuily
led while on the other, the forces, though
superior in numbers, are scattered and d.
yided into factions, opposing each other I'M
der different leaders. The enemy has but to
defeat the strongest faction to defeat the
whole loyal army. Under such circumstan-
ces the spirit of faction must be put down BY
the people, and the leaders Of factions put
aside until the common enemy Is whipped.
To this end let the leading loyal citizens con-
suit together and make up ticket from, the
two tickets nominated, taking care to put on
none but those Of unquestloned loyalty.
There are names on each Of those tickets
that are tainted with disloyalty. Let the new
or consolidated ticket be free from any such
faint. We want no officer whose loyalty IS
so eauivocal that he will be likely TO desert
to the enemy, should our cause at any time
meet with reverses. Let such ticket be
made up as suggested, by citizens IN whom
the public have confidence, and presented to
the loyal voters with an address, setting forth
the necessity aud object Of the movement,
and the duty of every patriotic citizen to sup
port it, and we believe it will be successful.
Let it be also understood that all independent
candidates, and all candidates rejected from
the nominated tickets now before the Union
party, will be regarded as failing in their duty
as truly loyal men, If they do not, at time
like the present, which is full Of danger, ac-
quiesce in the necessities of the hour which
call upon them for sacrifice of personal in
terests upon the altar Of patriotism. Let
those who are now recreant to duty IN this
respect, be placed on record, so that in future
we NAV know who proved unworthy Of trust
in the hour Of trial, that they may be dis
carded by all loyal citizens when honorS and
Offices are TO be distributed By the people.
We believe such ticket may be made up
in the manner suggested, and we also believe
that the loyal candidates who may be neces-
sarily set aside for the present. will perform
their duty as patriots, and gain the confidence
and applause of their loyal fellow citizens
Let those who have the true interests Of the
county at heart, and who appreciate the peril
of the situation, move in this matter, and all
viii YET be well.-Uaion of this HsorHing.
We agree with the Union as to the ne
cessity of concentration. The Enterprise
saws ait is all nonsense" and that there
is nothing to fear from the Copperheads.
The ventilation which that papers polit-
icalproclivities has received lately, coupled
with the fact that it is the only paper in
the county, that refuses to hoist the names
of Lincoln and Johnson, account in
manner for its not being afraid OF the Cop
perheads. We have no very serious APP
prehension of Copperhead victory, but
we wish to guard against any possibility
of such a contingency. We understand
that such ticket as the Union pro-
poses win be put in the field in good
season, and if it be such as we are led to
infer, we shall invoke for it the undivided
support of all loyal citizens.
