Democrats, it is for I you to say whether this ticket shall be elected or defeated. That the opposition are deter mined to make a strong effort to elect (heir ticket is evident. They will use every means in their power, fair and foul, to accomplish their purposes. They hope, by circulating all sorts of stories, to excite Democrats to vote against some of our candidates. Democrats, will you not disappoint the expectations of your political en emies 1 We feel confident you will. Stick to the Democratic ticket, then—i*ofe the ticket, and the whole ticket. This is tho only safe course. Suppose you did prefer other men to those nominated for the different offices,' what can you gain by making opposition note ? By opposing tho ticket you assist the Black Ropub- 1 licaas to gain a victory—and can Ibis afford I any gratification to a true Democrat ? There I is nothing we dislike so much as to hear a Dem-, ocrat, hftcr a ticket has been nominated, threat en to “bolt” from its support. Before the nom inations hare been made every one has a right to urge the claims of his friends, but after a ticket has been selected, it is incumbent upon every Democrat to forget ail personal consider ations, and yield a willing support to thewiah es of the majority. Then be up and doing, Dcra ocrata—frown upon tho efforts making by the opposition to seduce you from duty. Stick to the ticket, we repeat, and thus sustain yoar character for democracy.
