The Ticket.

We run to our mast head to-day, the
ticket placed in nomination, by the county
convention on Monday last. That it will
give general satisfaction, to the Democracy
andthe people of the county every body be-
Heves Since we have taken part in politics
we have never known convention to pass
off as harmoniously as did the one that pla-
ced in nomination the ticket we present to-
day, nor have we ever seen unlucky candi-
dates for the different positions, more deter
mined to do all in their power to secure an
overwhelming majority, for their successful
competitors. Tosay that the ticket is the
best thatcould be formed, would be casting
slur upon the many good menwhose names
were used In the convention but were not
chosen as candidates but when we say that
on the whole, better or stronger ticket
could not have been made, we are not saying
word too much. Every man upon it is ca
pable, honest, strait forward and deserving
faithful democrats and honest, honorable
citizens. They cannot fail to fill the differ
ent positions for which they have been chos-
en-, with credit to themselves, their country
and the party that supports them.
We do not intend, as has heretofore been
customary, to enter into the special lauda-
ton of each candidate. What can be said
of one can be said of all, and the peculiar fit
ness of each one for the position to which he
has been chosen, is admitted, by every one,
even by the bitterest enemies our party has.
Not only as candidates, are they qualified to
ell the various offices for which they have
been selected, but as citizens, they are with
out stain upon their characters, or a blot
upon their political records as Democrats
To them, we point with pride as the stan
dard bearers Of our grand old party, in the
campaign which has now opened. They are
the representatives ofa party whose aim is
to advance the interest of the white man,
whose care is to protect the rights of the
white man, and whose great object is to pre-
serve this, government of white men.
Around them viii rally every voter in the
county who believes he was born superior
to the ignorant and degraded African
Around them will rally every voter who ia
vors low taxes, economy In public expendi-
lures, honest officials, and competent men to
fill public places.
And now thatth Democracy have ticket
in the feld-a ticket that is in every respect
worthy their confidence and support-let
them go to work. They must not rely upon
the popularity of individual candidates, nor
be satisfied with half an effort, because ou.
opponents are weak, or the certainty of sue
cess beyond doubt We have more to do
IN this county than simply elect our county
ticket, we have to aid In the election of an
honest Governor, and Congressman who
viii do something for white men, whose
interests are at stake, and whose time will
not all be spent in legislating for niggers,
contractors, and public plumber If the
Democracy Of this county but do their duty
wehonestly believe they can roll upa majority
of eighteen hundred for HIEsTER CLYMER,
the white mans candidate, and for the whole
ticket from Congressman down. Shall it be
done2 Or shall we be content with the mca-
ger majority of fourteen hundred2 It is
for you, Democrats, tosay. Never was there
such an opportunity for striking death
blow to abolitionism in this section of the
State. Never were the prospects as bright
for an overEhelmingvictory. Shall we have
It to rejoiceover7 Work and cork only win
secure it ?.
