POLITICAL NEWS.

w hat the democracy want, Is an early
good State ticket, clear
pointed declaration of principles, and a
free discussion of party issues. No by
cones, no clap-traps, but substantial IS
sues, involving questions that effect the
every day interest OF tax payers. Give
us the main points-the lesser ones will
regulate themselves. A good ticket, no
matter how nominated, early in the field,
and sound platform, are the wants of
the hour Oshkosh Times.
The above is not all that is wanted.
The Democracy want the people to forget
the past, and support the party not for
what it is, or has beer, but Tor what afew OF
its leaders would try aud convince them 1t
will be. The press should burn up It's
old files and destroy the records OF its
conventions, and the .utterances OF its
candidates. Then we shall hear no more
of "a white mans government, mig
ger equality" ''do you want your daugh-
ter to marry a nigger?' you cannot
coerce state, &c" which have for years
been their staple arguments. We shall
soon have political millennium, in which
the wolf will lie down with the lamb, and
the fair-skinned Democrat with the ebony
son of Africa. 1t will be spectacle that
will cause the angels to weep tears of joy.
