The Times says the ticket gives
but little satisfaction in regard to
many of the names selected, the Sc
lection being prompted by other con-
siderations besides those Of fitness
and qualifications, which must al
ways be the case as long as the eau
Gus system is preserved,-a system
which, says the Times, (and all save
political cliques, cabals and trick
sters will agree with it), is a disre-
putable farce and ought never to be
repeated in any portion of the coun-
try. Respectable, quiet citizens have
very little chance, taste or inclina-
ton to participate in any of those
"cut and dried beforehand" arrange
ments, and it is well known fact
that many of them for years past,
have abstained from going to the
polls to vote, through sheer disgust
at the miserable intriguing way in
which wire-pullers, log-rollers and
others Of the same ilk manage to
foist upon the public in "the peoples
name" their own surreptitious nomi-
nations.
Maugre the objections which here
we have coupled with those of the
Times, that Journal urges upon all
good citizens, the support of the
ticket, as the only alternative now letti
them 10y which they can hop. to save
the ruling power from falling into the |
hands Of the Radical faction.
The Convention before commenc.
ing to nominate, adopted the follow
ng among other Resolutions
WHEREAS, There is not sufficient time
Ell 10 TINS canvass to convoke a Conven-
ion for the State at large; therefore,
SResolued, That the State Central Gem
nittee is respectfully urged to reinstate
he State Democratic ticket, and should
my vacancy occur, TO fiji the same ,by an
continent or recomm en- dation, trusting
ully to hearty response from the Con-
ervative Democracy of this State.

Mount principle is to defeat and exercise
