OUR neighbor of the Democrat after hav-
ing aided the Ring to deceive foreign born
citizens by promising them office year at
ter year, and when put in nomination,
aided as readily in defeating them, now
turns up his proboscis at the Republican
candidate for Assembly, Capt Lovett, be-
cause he is an Irishman. We do not pre-
scribe any man on account of his nation
ality, nor do we believe in deceiving any
one in order to catch their votes like our
neighbor. But we have always assumed
the right to denounce openly all who we
did not believe were fitted for the position,
the same as many of our neighbor's Ring
candidates. AS we have known Capt
I.oyett since the outbreak of the rebellion
and known him to be a worthy citizen
we'll qualified for the position, il affords vi
great pleasure in giving him our hearty
support, and we will as readily endorse an,
other foreign born citizen that may CONF
before the public with as pure characse
as Capt. Lovett. Our only regret is tha
we could never support our neighbcr TO
the same reasons.

EVERY effort is made by the Ring De-
mocracy TO have Lemuel Shipman elected
to the Office of Register and Recorder, so
as to have an office in the Court House as
rendezvous, and with an expectation to
re-establish the former state OF affairs in
the Court House. Let every voter reflect
before he casts his ballot and see whether
by voting for Shipman, he is not doing an
act that will be an injury to himself and
! the community.

ONE of the arguments used by the Dem
ocrat in favor of Lemuel Shpman is, that
he was ''prison guard of jeff Davis when
that digajtary was in confinement" Does
the Democrat intend to nsinuate that Mr..
Shipman feels that he was highly honored
in being near the person Of that dignito1y,
as the editor respectfully calls him. Per-
sons less respectful would have called Mr..
Eichholtz's dignltary traitor.

TIE OLD DODGE OVER AGAIN.-Mr.
Shipman is trying to get Republicans tovote
for him by circulating that certain Repub-
!icans will support him in other districts,
then goes to the parties mentioned and tells
them that the ones first appro ached will
support him, when in fact both parties are
opposed to him. This is an old dodge of
Lemuels, and every Republican should be
on his guard and not allow himself to be
deceived.

THE bands of the country which have
