Politics in this county stand thus
ly: The two legitimate parties are
concentrating then forces, each with
a good ticket in the field, viz:
Blaine vs.. Cleveland There is no
ButIelism or side issues, no con-
fusion ticket even in embryo, yet
there may be confusion before we
got through with the canvass from
the fact that the ladies have got
their fingers in it. Time, or rather
the 4tb of November, will determine
the result. The only persons that
sleep sounlly are non-combatants,

ably to assert their rights, when en-
dangered by capital, aud all statutes
on this subject should recognize the
care of the State for honest toll, and
befriend it with view of improving
the condition Of the workingmen, a
proper care for the workingmen be-
ing inseparably connected with the
integrity of our institutions. None
of our citizens are more interested
than they in guarding against any
corrupting influences which seek to
pervert the beneficent purposes of
our Government, and none should
be more watchful of the fearful
Vaccinations of those who allure
thefl to seIf-intlicted injury. In a
free country the curtailment of the
absolute rights of the individual
should only be such as is essential
to the peace and good order of the
community. The limit between the
proper subjects of Governmental
control and those which can be more
fittingly left to the moral sense and
selt-imposed restrain. of the citizens
should lie carefully kept in view.
Thus laws unnecessarily interfering
with the habits and customs of any
one of oar people, which are not Of
fensive to the moral sentiments of
the civilized world, and which are
consistent with good citizenship and
the public welfare, are unwise and
veXatioCs."
The commerce Of a nation, to q
great extent, determines its suprem-
acy. Cheap and easy transportation
should, therefore, be literally fos-
tered, within the limits of the Con.
stitution, and the General Govern
