Politics on the Streets-Result OF the
LabOrs of the Convention.
Stand by the Ticket-LOOk at Every Name
Before You Vote.

From the Ledger Of Yesterday
The results Of the convention yester-
day were subjects of general comment
on the streets last evening and this
morning. A general feeling of satisfac-
ton prevails over DETERMINATIONS, and
the belief in the success of the ticket is
universal. Bets are freely offered on the
candidates, odds of one thousand votes
in the district being rendered in favor of
our Congressional nominee-COlOnel
Haynes. There are a few sOreheads who
swear they won't support the ticket
even a few Of the delegates from this
city say sO-but these high-tOned repre-
sentatives of the people are destitute Of
influence, and cut no important
figure before the country. Men are
nothing; principles everything, is the
true motto of the patriot, and we are
not Of those who believe that patriotism
has ceased to exist in this land. From
out of the troubled waters Of the con-
ventiOn came good results. Men who
were partisans yesterday are liberal to-
day. and proclaim their satisfaction at
the nominations. To stick to ones
friends is an impulse worthy of being
cherished by humanity, but to do so at
the sacrifice of everything else is ridicu-
IOus. To-day all Is quiet along the
streets, and the convention is half for
gotten. Until election day, there win.
he nothing to disturb the political lake,
and by that time all the little personal
issues and jealOusies engendered by a
hot and exciting contest will have.
passed away.
STAND BY THE TICKET.
Mn. A. T. Lacey, the defeated candi-
date for Congressional honOrs before our
late convention, received the support Of.
the people Of Shelby county at the polls,
and the unfiinching support Of the sew
enty-six delegates from Shelby county
in the convention. II was a fattering
cOmpliment-One that should be so re-
garded by any man. Indeed, the stick
ing of the delegates to Mr.. Lacey when
all hope of his nomination had faded
from sight, came very near breaking M
the Convention. He became the rock
upon which the convention was about to
split, when his judiciOus friends brought
about his withdrawal. Mr.. Lacey, in his
speech before the convention, used these
remarkable words:
Tciaim thatI have been nominated by II fair
apportionment-an apporionment like the
one OF Two NEdlh dEtf NutH I was uEIeaFeu.
This being the fact, ! do not desire 20 offer a
word for or against any man who may come
this convention. I will say that / do
not consider my self bound by its action, and
Id / choose TO do 50 will appeal TO the people,
your masters aud mine II Is asserted that /
have no strength before b people, and If /
choose / Will go before them.
The spirit Of reputation displayed by
Mr.. Lacey caused universal regret among
best friends. They were not pre-
pared Tor If, and certainly do notindOrse
it. II is almost needless to state that
even IL Mr.. Lacey chooses TO appeal TO
the people-the masters OF both the con-
vention and himsel-his appeal will not
be sustained. The nominee Of the Con-
sentative Convention will defeat the
Radical nominee, and as many inde-
pendent candidates a. can possibly get
on the track. The people viii rebnke9aI /
backsliding by defeating now and at an
times those who see fit to make thedap-
gerOus issue. n
