Ten Reasons for Voting the Bolters'
Ticket.
Editors Carolini'An :
I send you ten reasons why T, as
an ultra Democrat, am compelled to
vote for the Bolters' ticket, and trust
they will bo sufnicient for others to do
the same :
1. The elcetion of this ticket will
,utterly rout the Scott, Par ker & Co.'F
Ring, and disclose the infamous
acts of the present adninistration.
2. The electiun of this ticket will
be the inauguration ol a reform, which
will result in uniting a large pm; tio1
of bonest Republi::ans with the Demo.
cratic party.
3. The Demnocratio party is pledg
ed to the party who would inauguraei
reform.
4. The Rolters' ticket is the result.
of s;iuch pledge.
5. The Blter's ticket is the best
they could give out of their party,
aud should be accepted by the Demo
erat.s.
6. A nomination by the Deimo-.
eratic party would result in defeat,
aid re-unite the. Republican party atid
thu, destroy thet bope of reform.
7. The Bolter' ticket can he elect
ol if supported by the Democrats.
8. Because as a citizon, I am boun~d
to) use every effort to extrieto the
State from thiuvos and plunderers.
and tuit u.,c the best ieaus at 1.y
-commnand.
9. Becauso every good Ci thZn
shoutld vote, and in the performanieo
of a icred duty, I always choose the
least of two evils.
10. Ieentuse reform can alone come
niomi the lRepublican party, aild as
such I sutain thenm in Oiair honcst
efforts in that direction.

pr 15 isonmen in a Pr'ussiian fortres.<, for
having on the 21st of January last,
in the course of a aermon, used oppro
fuious tpihte against the Jews. The
'min t, de ided t hat such expressions
were intiru<.ly at variance with the

of religion, and that fanaticism
wouldJ not be toherated in a coun
