WHEN the Wing party grew so weak
thatit could not exist any longer its mein-
hers sought to get into power under the'
cloak of temperance. A IKE movement
has taken place now. ID has cost us
great deal of money, labor and talent
to work Up the Democratic party to Its
position against the epAidinstruments ofa
cerrupt government spread all over the
land with salaries proportioned to enahle
them to contribute TO keeping up the
corruption in all departments, even 10
the changing and moulding of State laws
TO circumvent and defeat the posi- bihty
of electing President, as developed In
three of the Southern States by Return
ing Boards.
Now, it appears that the Republican
party here under the cloak koftemperance,
has come into the Democratic party and
nominated some ofits members We can
not recognize the temperance organiza'
ton as Temperance party. They present
ticket to be sure made up of fair mem
fbut they had the selection OF all these
men and the advantage in the whole Is
with the Republicans, and so intended to
he. Democratic aud patriotic citizens
believing In the necessity for parties in
this country, we protest against this
mode of procedure. This party now ar
rays itself against the Democratic party
and it means too to help to crush out
eyery chance which aRepubhcan through
his party may feel that he has for promo
ton to office. We prefer to meet this is
sue squarely and insist that our organi-
cation should not be crippled in its efforts
by any nominate ons that the temperance
party have made. The Democratic par
ty is not an anti-temperauce party. Its
object is to secure good, fair, and equal
government, in which the rights of all
are preserved, and mans libertyis well
sustained.
Every man on the Executive Commit
tee of the temperance league we observe
| is aRepublican; and so it is with the Sher-
iff and Coroner, and six Levy Court men;
while the Representative ticket is most
ly Republican. We cannot help feeling
that that ticket is against us in all things
and is put forward to embarrass the peo-
ple's interest in all things when there is
no hope of success to a political temper
ancs party.

THE county newspapers have for years
been swindled by the city newspaper ad-
vertising agents. These men manage to
get all the money of the work, and many
times all the profit, since they very often
neglect to pay up their arrearages. So
long as the country press do this work
as it is offered them they will be thus
treated. If they would refuse to insert
anything until they get the pay in hand
they would make more and save them
selves a great deal of trouble and
anxiety. A good plan is to write 10 the
advertiser and state the prices offered by
the agent and the price the work will be
done for in cash. We prefer to give our
local trade every advantage and have
thrown off all Philadelphia agents, as
few of them are responsible, and most of
them since the time of volney Il. Pal
mer, have proved rogues.

THE Democratic party is expected by
the great majority of the people to come
into power and to reform many of the
evils that have grown upon the country
by the bad management of Republicans.
Every means will be taken to defeat this
aim of the Democratic party by its op-
ponents; and not few of its own MEM
bers who hope to fill their pockets as the
Republicans have done. Yet we hope
the party will succeed in accomplishing
its great object.

CONTESTED NoMINATIoNs.-We have
seen it stated that the Democratic
County Executive Committee will Meet
here on Thursday to hear the arguments |
of the contestant for the nomination for |
Representative to the Legislature from
White e. Creek Hid. This may be true or
it may be false, we have nothing authen-
tic on the subject. But we presume it is
true. Mr.. Dean is in Ohio. We have
dispatch from him which speaks for
itself, in another column. So far as this
case is concerned the contestants should
have equal rights before the committee.
We have not seen any of the committee
having been scarcely able to attend to our
own duties for the past week.
The question is very simple one to
determine, if the six Republican voters,
whose votes were cast for Mr.. Dean at
the close of the polls pledged themselves
to vote for the Democratic nominee of
our party, they come within the rules of
the party. But it Is clear that the pledge
should be TO cote for the nominee, not to
vote for the nominee if they voted. The
case is an interesting one and comes
clearly within the rules. The rules are
necessary to protect the party, and to do
Justice to any other party; and it is the
duty of true Democrat and party man
to bow to them. If party is mere
catch trap; mere machine to helu
tricksters why then its rules may be sci
aside. But for one member of the party
and we believe we speak for good man,
also, we assert that our party is grea
patriotic body, necessary to the 200,
government of the republic. If we di
not sincerely believe this we would hay
nothing to do with it. 1t is great mi.
fortune that so many excellent peopl
seem to hold opposite opinions an
fear to enter politics because, as they
lege, of the corruption of parties. Tn
is greatly to be regretted, and our wi.
and considerate people, who have grei
interests at stake in the honesty, cheal
ness and completeness of government
should not stand back but come forwal
and take their fair share in the respons
bility.
We have dlgressed from our purpose
commencing these remarks but we no,
we have said nothing alniss or that is IN
needful; although it may not be heede
now. 1t will be some day, however, whc
uttered and enforced as it will have to
by more influential voice. As to II
question between Messrs. Newton a,
McWhorter, which the latter has Civ
our readers to infer will be brought |

We presume the Committee VIII Ina
nothing to do with it. Because it !
not been brought to their notice, so far
we have heard, by Mr.. Newton the OF
one who would be expected to appe
