How SHALL WE MAKE OUR NOMINATIONS
THIS SPRING ?-Last Spring Republican
Convention was called for the purpose of
forming a ticket to be supported at the City
election. At the convention there held the
nominations were made and the ticket placed
before the people as the regular Republican
ticket. The gentlemen nominated for the
Office of Common Council in this (the second)
ward rs also those in the third ward, were
elected, giving majority in favor of the Re-
publicans. But after election, at the meeting
held by the Common Council for the purpose
of filling certain Offices by appointment, the
Republican party were ignored and those that
are considered the best Offices in the gift of
that body were given to Democrats of long
standing that have made themselves conspicu-
GUS sin opros NJ thcRepublican party Whether
there was any arrangement made with these
parties before election, cannot say.
contend that it was altogether wrong, as
majority of the Republican party would not
support any one who would resort to such
means to secure his election. If there are no
honest men in the Republican party capable
of filling these offices, we had better not put
any ticket in the field

THE OTHER SIDE, NO. III.

Your clustering, bantering, long-winded
correspondent on the no-licehse side, has the
undoubted faculty of occupying large space
in your paper without saying much. His OBJ
ject is evidently to draw or drive away atten-
ton just now from the main question, viz -
that of securing the majority at the coming
election of City Council, but we are not to
have dirt thrown in our eyes in that way we
mean business. His construction of my re-
marks about ventilation, is foreign to my
meaning-my purpose is to ventiate the fall
lacy, the unfairness, and the subterfuges to
which the no-license party resort. The other
side needs very little vcntilation--it speaks
for itself, and commends itself to the freedom,
the liberty, the tastes, the enjoyments, and
the wants of tie people. 1t is not necessary
to ventilate the remedy for thirst to a thirsty
man, or the remedy for hunger to hungry
man.
My remark about the lady editor seems to
hurt, and he asks if my mother, and wife, and
sisters are not ladies to which answer yes,
but not of the strong minded persuasion. They
belong to class spoken of in LIST Tim. 2. II,
H." Let the woman learn in silence with
all subsection. But l suffer not woman to
usurp authority over the man, but to be in
silence," &c. As to his challenge for public
debate, We have no disposition to spend our
powder in that way upon an audience of wo-
men and children. They don't cote. 1t is
with the voters we have to do at present. We
want them enlightened as to the danger of
their liberties. The next step no doubt will
be to restrict us as to what we shall eat and
what we shall not eat, and how much and how
often, and there is NO telling where or when
this system of tyranny will lead if it does
not received its quietus this Spring, for ruin
is staring us in the face, and every man
should be at his post. GUsTo.

TEMPERANCE COLUMN.
EDITED By A LADY.

Mr.. EDITOR IL saw in the last issue of
The RECORD the :" Other Side, "by "Gustc.
He says "as that column is assigned to the
control Of a lady, it is an evident indication
of the weakness or the weakening of Il Q
cause" and seems to think there is no "ma,e
able or willing" to speak out against them.
am glad he gives us rope just here to
hang himself with. He is certainly man
who does not read his Bible, or else he does
not believe the Bible; for it declares that
"God hath chosen the weak things of the
world to confound the things which are
mighty
Cannot any intelligent observer see that
God has chosen to drive iutemperance from
our land through woman's efforts Never has
there been such trembling among the liquor
party, as since weak women have taken hold
Of the temperance cause more fully. Many
believe and tremble now, in view Of the COM
plete overthrow of their wicked business since
q woman's crusade I" began aud sure as wo-
man is true and faithful to her mission, in
Temperate will finally be driven from our
land. b.
The above camc too late for our column
last week. We feel it proper to correct a
mistaken opinion of "Gusto." He says
1.-THE column is assigned to the control of a
lady" 1t was not assigned" the members
of the c. w. T. U. asked for it. Our BROTH
er Editors, our brother Tempiars, and our
brother Temperance men, all stand ready to
do their own work in this cause. But they
cannot do our work.
He says, "the time has arrived when the
other side think it to be a duty to speak out
In defense of their rights, &c. Although we
are weak women we do not fear to defend the
right.
At the first Sabbath afternoon Temperance
meeting, one of our most respected citizens
challen. ed the "other side to meet us all,
both men and women, in the open field, in
fair combat-the place and comforts for such
encounter to be furnished at his expense. We
have not yet heard that the challenge has been
accepted.
Now zoe challenge you to show the merits
of your cause, and exhibit the strategy,
misrepresentation and unfairness " of our
course toward you.
We claim that there has been "unfairness,
Misrepresentation, and strategy" on your
part. So there are clearly two sides to these
charges.
He says, 1--WE now mean hard knocks and
victory "-of course with the pen he means.
We hold ourselves ready to meet you alone,

morning, pale as a coffin and wearing for
lorn woe-begone look. He had just received
a letter from DIR. l. M. Severns, the great
medicine man of Lambertville, which had
turned his house quite upside down. He re-
quested us to test his weight and time his
pulse, which we did, and assured him that
notwithstanding the dun times he steadily
maintained his pounds and that his mortal
machinery was running as well as could be
expected under the present administration !;
and to give him courage and confidence we
inflated his lungs with our blacksmith bel
lows, after which he handed us the papers
with grin, as much as to say, What is the
meaning Of all this?" which upon examine
ton, we found in substance, as follows: Mr..
Jones-Dear Sir, We respectfully invite you
to call at our great Medicine reservoir, No.
Al North Union st. and inspect our large sup
ply of drugs, medicines fancy articles, soaps,
&C., for the cure of itch, consumption, worms,

there was marriage in Cana of Galilee, and
the mother of Jesus was there, and both
Jesus was called and his disciples to the mar
riage, and when they wanted wine, the
mother of Jesus saith unto him, they have no
wine. Jesus saith unto to her--Woman what
have to do with thee mine hour is not yet
come. His mother saith unto the servants,
whatsoever he saith unto you, do it, and
there were set there six waterpots Of stone,
after the manner of the purifying Of the Jews,
containing two or three firkins apiece Jesus
saith unto them, fill the water pots with water
and they filled them up to the brim, and he
saith unto them draw out now and bear unto
the governor of the feast, and they bare It.
When the ruler of the feast had tasted the
water that was made wine and knew not
whence it was (but the servants which drew
the water knew,) the governor of the feast
called the bridegroom and saith unto him,
Every man at the beginning doth set forth
good wine, and when men have well drunk,
then that which is worse but thou hast kept
the good wine until now.
