OUR LEGISLATIVE TICKET-THE NE.
CEssITY FOR ITS ELECTION.

OF her existence, been true and stead
fast to the cause of the Union. Thi
practical relationship has been perfecte,
through the acts and sentiments of tn
people as expressed, primarily, at tn,
polls, and secondarily through the PEG
pies representatives in Legislature as
sembled. At each election we hav,
sent to Washington representative te
the Lower House of Congress whose
sentiments were in consonance with the
great majority of that body and
through the action of the Legislatures
of 1865 and 1867, we have been repre-
scented in the Senate by men who have
also been in accord with the dominant
loyal party of the country.
The Senatorial contest of two years
ago, which happily resulted in the re-
election of Senator Nye, after hard
| struggle, affords lesson which should
not be forgotten. In the general cleo
ton which preceded, Mr.. Ashley, our
candidate for Congress, was elected by
the popular voice-by the simple force
Of the natural majority of the Union
party in the State. This was indicative
of the undeniable preference of the
people as expressed, directly, by them
selves A similar showing will be made
at the coming election in favor of Mr.
Fitch and if Union men do their duty,
the Legislature will as truly reflect their
sentiments by returning their choice,
Mr.. Stewart, to the Senate.
But our friends should never, for
moment, lose sight Of the vital import
ance of securing the success of our
Legislative nominees, in all the coun
ties. Despairing of electng their State
ticket, the Democracy are and will be,
Senators and Assemblymen 10 enable
them to name Mr.. Stewards successor
lie game is as sIA 10 wv anu Tue
CoPperheads are piayiug for the larger
stake. 1t is that proportion because the
Senator to be elected will serve six
years while the Congressman will serve
but one term Of two years.
Let us not be understood as under
rating tie importance of the election of
our nominee for Congress we simply
wish to urge upon our friends attention
the effect which their action will have
in determining the character of our re-
presentation in the Upper House of
Congress. All other Union candidates |
for the Senate having Withdrawn from
the field, every man who casts his bal |
lot for the Legislative nominees of the
party casts it in favor of the reelection |
of Mr.. Stewart. To vote for the Dem
ocratic nominees is TO vote directly for
Pitzer, Williams, Sunderland, Thorn
burg or DR.. Elis-,be Copperhead as
pirants for that high position. In cast
ing our ballots for Brown, Wright, Cor
Dett and Hanson. we vote for the Sen
ator who, by his unflagging zeal in the
cause Of Reconstruction, has done much
oward preventing what the Democratic
party is now fighting for-the restora-
ion to power of the men who fought
or four years to overturn this govern
nent. In voting for our Legislative
,ominees we vote 10 retain in the Senate
