THE TICKET.

day last. The ticket is such an one that
no true friend of his country and its pros
perity will hesitate to support, because
every man upon it was hard aud hearty
worker for the preservation of the Gov
ernment at time when to do so, was, in
the eyes Of the leaders of this latter-day
democracy, sin, and reproach.
Gen. WM. LILLY, Of Carbon, our can
didate for Congress, was democrat in
the days of the purity of that party, and
is democrat still in spirit and in truth.
His democracy, however, like the democ-
racy of the noble Geary, would not suffer
him to cahogle with traitors for the sue
cess Of treason; and as a man of his noble
character and ardent temperament could
not brook standing out in the cold, when
| the services and means of men were want
ing in the defence of the country, its con :
stitution and laws, the war Instituted by
the secessionits for the dismemberment
and destruction Of the Union, found him a
warm seconder of the sainted Lincoln in
his earnest determination to osquelch rebel
lion. No man worked harder, or spent
more literally of his means to strengthen
the government than did Gen. LILLY; and
no man living this day more surely deserves
the unHiching support of every nan, who
believes that the cause ofthe ecountryshould
be above party in the selection Of the
man who is to represent US in Congress:
CHARLES L. ROCKWELL. Esq, Of
Wayne, our candidate for Senator, is also
a man Of the times and for the times. We
do not know what his political antece-
dents were before the war; nor does it
much matter. We know that during the
war he was for the Government all the
time, and against treason and traitors
