IHE ELECTIoN.-At the recent election
for officers Of Columbia Township, the ra-
dical party was only partially successful by
a majority OF ten votes. BY some strange
apathy. or negligence, many Democrats
failed to deposit their votes in an election SO
pregnant with vital consequences to the
entire community; o majority SO slender
renders the disappointment the more keenly
felt; .efeat attributable 70 n want of zeal
in our own ranks, rather than to the vigor
and strength OF the enemy.
To-day the polls are opened for the cleo
tion of County officers, and we earnestly ad-
wise and urge on our Democratic citizens to
/
cure the election of the nominees of the
Democratic party-men who will protect
the rights and preserve the interests of the
community. Let each and all contribute n
helping hand to insure tho general good.
Had the Democrats scored ten additional
votes at the late election. radicalism would
have mourned defeat AS it now stands,
with Republican majority in these Offices
of great trust and Importance, it requires
no great sagacity to anticipate the manner
III which they will be conducted, when we
Judge by the antecedents, and consult the
records Of their party. Every election is OF
grave Importance to the white men of the
South; every struggle at the ballot-box is
for right over fraud, and We earnestly ask,
in the interests Of the community, that
every Democratic voter will lay aside all in
dividual calls of any nature, rally at the
polls and deposit his vote in support OF
good and true men for the County Offices.

on Saturday. The managers did not finish
