OUR COUNT! TICKET.
Tl.o Whig paper, of Ihi. county are m.kiug strong j
appeals to their partisan friends to support the Wing
county ticket.- This is all right and proper, and from
all we can learn our polilioal opponents will P"
their united support to their own ticket. Such being
the case, wo appeal to every Democrat to imitate the
example oflho Whigs, and slick to hi. own ticket.
Wo have a clear and decided Democratic, majority
in Cumberland county, and all that is wanted to ;
1 secure the election of our entire ticket, is to yield it j
„„r united effort, and support. Ifwe do not ■cgulcaco ,
l io -C ~ <J-—.kj Owar.wMiun, il is oil
folly and trouble lo hold Conventions, and wo m&y as
well do away with lliom forever hereafter- I"
Un»u.w» -r - —.rs-percry, in speaking on this
subject, “there is a class of persons who will uphold
Conventions and nominations made by thorn, as long
as they aro pleased with them. Dot them bo disap
pointed, and you find them associating with the op
position, for the purpose of defeating the nomination
which docs not suit them. Democrats and Whigs
arc beginning lo find oat these gentlemen !"
Let the question bo decided this fall, therefore, I
whether wo shall continue the convention system or j
not. Should any part of our ticket bo defeated, it
will be very good evidence lo us that it is useless lo
hold Conventions hereafter, and that the practice had
j bettor bo discontinued. We should prefer to break
| jip ull political organization and be done with it, than
Ito keep up a mock show that amounts lo nothing
\ m the end, and which is taken advantage of by mcr-
ccnary disorganize™, who glory in political debase
ment.
But, wo hope and believe, the Democratic County
Ticket will be sustained and triumphantly elected.—
Wo think wo are warranted in saying that sal
isfaction prevails in the Democratic ranks through
out the county. Let Democrat* adhArA.*"
ticket as the Whigs do to theirs, and our victory will
bo obtain,
A TRIPLING INCONSISTENCY.
Our neighbor of iho Herald, in 1848, supported
Gen. Taylor for Iho Presidency, because, as ho in.
formed his readers, the old hero “ was opposed lo
slavery,” which was a falsehood, of course. This
was done for the purpose of securing the Abolition
vote of this Stale. Last fall, 100, the Herald, end in
| deed nearly every Whig paper in the State, thought
j Johnston ought lo bo elected Governor, because ho
1 was opposed lolho Compromise measures, and advo*
1 ealed an amendment of the Fugitive Slave Law,
which amendment would have mode it a nullity.—
But, unfortunately for the Federalists, the Abolition
vole could not save Johnston from defeat, and his
friends found out, when ton Lie, that the people were
in favor of sustaining the Compromise measures.—
The Federalists, therefore, desire to profit by thei
rebuke they received last fall, and nou> —miserable |
deceivers that they are —they pretend lo support [
Scott because “he ts in favor of sustaining the com.l
I promise measures, Slave Law and all/” „A.D£L..tol
L...'«m)niirenni sntrmore ridCtVloUß.Thcy denounce ,
Gen. Pierce for an abolition speech, said lo have
been made by him at New Boston, in January last*
but which speech he never made and never saw until
a few weeks ago !
Now, these are fads. Let any one who may de
sire to examine the subject, refer Io tho file of the
Carlisle Herald of this lime last year, and ho will
see Iho acknowledgement mado that Gov. Johnston
was in favor ofan amendment of (ho Compromise
measures; and because he occupied this position the
Herald uiged his re election! Then pick up the
Herald of the present day, and you will boo that Gen.
Scott is falsely represented as the peculiar fuend of
the Compromise measures and the fugitive slave law !
And because, ns (ho Herald says, Gen. Scott occupies
this position, (in direct opposition to Gov. Johnston,)
our neighbor thinks ho should bo elected President,
andthus"savo the Union!” Oh,deur! when the
Union, that has been made groat and glorious by the
wise policy of Democratic rule and Democratic
mbraco of her old enemy, Federalism, the people
lay indeed tremble for the perpetuity of our inslitu-
Now is ibis course by the Herald and other Whig
papers inconsistency, or has our neighbor changed
his views since last fall 7 That's what wo want to
know. Wc should like to know at what pailiculur

The Whig papers ore making merry over the |

Franklin Pierce was a member of Congress. Mr.
Pierce was not in (ho habit of associating with sots
and blackguards, and therefore avoided euch men at
Marshall.
The Officers and the Diets.
| The Whig papers do no not like to be reminded
that tiic officers of (he army that fought in Mexico,
arc, in nearly every instance, against General Scott;
and in order to break the force of tbo fuel, they ox
cuso themselves by saying that if ho has lost the
officers ho holds (ho men —the gallant rank and file.
But this will not do. Every voter in tiro country
knows how litilo sympathy Uio present loading friends
of Scott, and those who would control his adminis
