THE LITTLE ELECTION, AT SMYRNA --rRospFCTs ron
NOVEMBER.
Ouf correspondent at Smyrna sent u.s. on Wed.
nesday, an intereating letter describing the Lit
Tie Election there, but we wore unable, in tho
press oi election returns, TO get it in in full
lie says The Democracy were hard to get to
come TO the polls to vote, and besides, tho nom
nation for Assessor the person named being
oonsidered totally Incompetent, so completely
demoiaiAzed the party that many respectable
| Democrats did not vote for him at ali, while
quito good number voted square for the Re-
publican ticket. Never before has the Demo
cratic organiz tton IN this Hundred been no de-
morali2ed and disappointed. With united Of
| fort and Long pull and strong pull, We can
elect our State ticket in November, and major
NY OF inc Legislature. Let us. then, all pnll TO-
| gether.'
| REsoLuTfoNa OF THE SUSSEX REPUBLICANS.
Besides a.resolution endorsing the State Mat
form and ticket, the Sussex Republicans. at their
Convention on Thursday, adopted the follow
ing
hesolced, That We hereby charge the Demo-
cratic Party oil this State, with gross misman-
| agement OF her financial affairs, and with con-
tlnued system OF Legislation, productive of un-
! necessary ami excessive taxation.
Resotctd, That our political opponents have
Tor years recklessly managed the affairs of this
county, and expended exgravagantly and iniu-
dieiously large sums of the peoples money,
bnfdening thein with an onerous taxation for
which they have received no lust equivalent.
For the reformation of which evils, State and
County, VIC hereby pledge ourselves
Resoieed, That no call upon the Democratic
Party Of this State to explain why, during their
long term of power they have not granted the
off repeated demands of the people for an i'm
proved schoo syatem.
R'spiced, That while the Democrats are loud
in their abuse OF the Republican Party, falsely
charging lr with extraSagant ultralsms we are
curious TO know how far their atfiliation with
Greeley aud sumner, in the last campaign COM
mltted them to their peculiar political prinoi-
Pies nnd that while We commend the political
advance of those Democrats who advocated the
election OF Horace Greeley to the Presidency,
we would most earnestly urge upon them a
steadfast a1h renee to the faith that once was
in them, and invite them TO further progress in
grace by voting our entire Republican ticket ou
the 3d OF November next.
