TIE SPRING ELECTIONS.

The time for the Spring elections is
not far distant, and We admonish Demo.
Gratis to prepare to put full and complete
tickets into the canvass. The possession
Of local, Township and School District
Offices, Is . matter Of greater Importance
than Is generally conceived. The petty
anuoyances Democrats have suffered at
the hands Of this class ofabolition officials,
should teach them renewed and special
efforts to obtain control Of local offices.
The influence Of official patronage and
character attaching to local Offices, is i'm
msnse in giving caste to the political
complexion of neighborhoOds. Demo-
crats for years past, have been too liberal
in parceling out local Offices to political
opponents, because the candidate happen
ed to DO . Every good kind Of a man."
and, too careless in making efforts for
possession, where they did not have the
control. II has been = very common
affair for townships with democratic major
titles for State elections, to be controlled
locally BY abolitionists. Democrats were
too careless and Indifferent to 60 to town
ship elections, or considered it a matter
Of no importance pho held the local
Offices. This was and is o terrible mis-
take. The success Of parties depends on
the possession Of the local Offices, when
these are secured, the higher and more
general Offices follow 10 due season, as q
matter Of course.
The more an army is mustered for drill,
the more perfect its discipline will become
and the severer the discipline, the more
formidable it becomes to its opponents.
Elections are the muster days for parties
aud the oftener tho Democrats are
marshalled and brought to conflict at the
ballot.box, the greater will be the party
discipline. An occasion for marshalliug
the entire strength Of the party for Q
charge on the enemy, should never e
uuimproved; no matter if the odds b.
against US, the contest will add discipline
and strength to our ranks, as the shaking
Of the mighty oak by the winds ant
storms, serve only to make its roots grow
deeper into the earth. Tho spring cleo
tons Of 1865, are very important, and W
trust the Democracy Of every township in
Ashland Co. will act on our advice. Com
mence now; talk over who shall be your
candidates; make your nominations pub
licly, give all the township a voice il
your primary meeting, so that the nomi
nee may be the choice cfthe party. Their
should be but two tests applied to a can
didate ; first, is he a reliable Democrat
second, is he capable. Let there be n
question Of availability" Any maj
who answers these qualifications is avail
able, and can poll every true Democrat
vote in his precinct. Make your nomi
nations in good time, get an abundance
of tickets printed, distribute them well
and your success will astonish the mos
ua~ponine. o.
