90 We have been shown a City Tickethea
s ed aSplit Ticket" inwhich the name of
-fatherAdministratio candidate for Marshal
lis substituted for the name of the Demo-
cratic candidate for that Office. The other
names on it are the names Of the Demo-
scratic candidates. Whether this Ticket was
gotten up at the instance of the Admins
I. tration candidate for Marshal, we do not
81. know. 1t probably was; and if it was got
ten up at his instance, it is convincing
pruor that he comedies that he cannot be
elected on the strength of the popularity of
-a the present Administration party, as now
conducted. And yet if, by any possibility, he
should be elected he and his friends would
claim it is an Endorsement of the meas
3a ures of the Administration, and the Ad-
r. ministration members of the Ohio Legisla
ture would draw from it encouragement to
pursue their reckless course. OF course, the
adopted citizens will esteem it a great priv
ilege of being offered an opportunity to
vote tort this "Split Ticket" They owe him
an obligation for his Kind consideration
of them when he took upon himself the
vows of Know-nothingism to hunt them
down with political prescription. To the
extent of his ability and influence, has he
sought to bring the Democratic party and
its adhering members into reproach; he has
looked on and acquiesced in the foul charges
-o of ''disloyalty" and of treason" that have
been so unjustly and flppantly used against
them for the last four years. Isthere a
Democrat whohas, been thus scandalized
who entertains the least intention of voting
for him, as against true and tried member
sasd Ofthe Democratic party like Mr., DAVIS, who
was adjudged, by majority of Delegates
representing the Democracy. of the respec-
rr, tive, Wards, worthy Of nomination for city
Marshal? II there is such Democrat let
him put the thought away from him as
most unworthy.
This is no time for. Democrats to vote
''Split Tickets" The election on the Sd of
April, everywhere throughout the State,
should be used as a medium through which
to communicate to the Administration the
displeasure of the people at the corruption
which has characterized various de

~ HORACE GREELEY few daysago, in speak
ing of President LINCOLN, said: "His use
fulness, his strength, his popularity, growj
&out of the fact that he accurately collects ap-
jpreheads, interprets, embodieS, The acreage sen
Ttinent Of the, ,American people" and that ''he
very faults Of his Presidential career-its hesitd-
tions, oscillations, errorS-haue faithfully re-
is .aected = the passing phases Of public
is governed by theiwill Of the people as it
is expressed to him through the ballot-box
that If The Administration party tri-1
umphs, he feels justified in carrying for
ward the measures dictated by the radicals
in his party; but that If the Democratic
party shall trinmph, be feels justified in
giving them the go-by. For four years
more be has a lease of the Presidential
Office. Consequently he is so circumstanced
4 lrthat he viii pay attention to the viii OF the
people. GREEIEy says that he has it now
in his power to make Peace without any
further considerable bloodshed. He points
scout Ito the President a practical road
through, which Peace can again be brought
to the country. Did no other considerations
exist to render it proper for voters to vote
against the Administration candidates, this
~ one consideration is so powerful that the
great mass ofvoters should vote the Demo-
cratic Ticket without an erasure, so there
,maygo up to the President as united a voice
as possible, that they concur with GREELEY
that he should instantly make Proclama-
tory effort to restore Peace, and that they
VIII stand by him in such offort. Let, no
voter, then, who desires such a consumma-
tionin the least mar the force of such in-1
structions by voting split Democratic |
