SEEDS OF nIsCoRD.

The policy of the Democratic press
Of the State has been to magnify any
differences among Republicans and to
give them the greatest publicity.
Where real differences b We not exist
ed, imaginary ones have cen supplied,
and 1t would be ridiculous il it were
not true that many Republicans have
figuratively torn their neither garments
in bitter denunciation of those who
should be their political brethren be-
cause of these seeds of disc ord sown by
Democrats. A word to the wise is
sufficient.
Here is an excellent article which
Republicans should read and heed,
from the "Sussex Republican,
The Democratic papers throughout TIL
State are busily engaged in reminding the
so-called Union and Regular Republican
parties of all the grudges one should enter
tain against the other. They are miEcon-
STRUNG every action Of either and warning
the respective parties to beware of such ac-
ton, as i. is only trick intended to wipe
the other from the earth. They have for
the time being constituted themselves the
guardians of the respective parties, and are
wonderfully fearful that one should harm
the o'her. They chronicle with i'll
concealed delight anything that has the
appearance Of preventing union, and seem
at their wits end when the condition of
affairs point towards "harmony." In truth
these papers are deYoting their space to ed
ito.ials, deyoted to Republican policy as
they would have it. Their purpose is, or
should be, plain to every Republican who
takes the trouble to read these would-be
instructive articles. They are intended 70
fan the spark of discord still alive in the
Republican parties and keep the respective
parties from uniting their forces against
the common enemy, Democracy. They
we'll know that united, the Republicans
can carry every county in the State, and
this thought worries the Democratic politl-
clan, who has long fed at the public crib
and is fearful that he may soon be COM
PEELED TO earn his bread by the sweat Of his
brow. The affairs of the State have too
long been administered for the benefit OF
this class of individuals, and the taxpayers
of the Slate, who have no Office in view, are
tired of it and would like to see their State
affairs admins cred for their benefit. The
State needs a decent administration and
we believe the people Of the State would
like to give the Republican party trial,
and would like to see every Republican
voLs polled for one ticket. Under such
circumstances we believe the ticket would
be elected and new opportunities presented
to the people Of the State. If the leading
spirits Of the two Republican parties can
not appreciate the importance Of stopping
their personal b:cterings and making some
arrangement whereby one ticket may be
assured, we believe there are enough Re-
publicans of prominence in the State, who
have no fish to fry, to take the matter into
their own hands and nominate good and
popular ticket which will receive the sup
port Of the great mass Of Republican vote !.
They went one ticket, and unless the same
is assured, great many will not take the
trouble to qualify themselv to vote. Don't
let the Democratic papers deceive you.
They are only afraid Of united Republi-
can vote, and are doing their utmost to
prevent it.
