Ou Monday next the gene al elcelion vill lake place, and we call the attention of our readers to the matter, a it is in of vcrj great importance. As a people we ny but littls attention to politics. We are neither "Republicans'' nor "Democrats." We stand and look on while parties fight and politicians scramble for office, despising the demas and bribe-lakegogues, f either faction, and waiting patiently for the time when our influence cun l e wielded in favor of constitutional rights lor ull, and against ever species ol Kumiption and injustice. We no interest in partjr warfare, but we ought to hare great interest in our own home Uovernment, whether municipal or territorial, and should be cart-fu- l to do our part in making it of the right kind," by securing tne rignt men for and law administrators Time was when men could neglect their duty in this respect withiut any my serious consequences to the community, because there was no danger of opposition. But that day is gone, and no person can hold the right to vote and neglect to exercise it and be blameless. The exercise nf the franchise is a duty us well as a privilege, and every man and woman, native born or naturalised, a a liviug member of the body politic, is required, injustice to the community, to do his or her part in securing proper men for office, and in keeping out the humbugs who are seeking to crawl into places where they can get a chance to kleal a living. Whether there is opposition or not on election day every citizen, male and female, ought to be on the ulert and go to the pulls to vote for the men of their choice, freely and earnest- oftiee-seeker- rs lie rs publish in this issuo tho Regular iVople's Ticket. The gentlemen whose ' hiimes appear were nominated by the 'i people' delegates at the adjourned yesterday. W are a "peculiar people." We have neither time nor inclination lojanglo over election mutters. We fro together. AVe may diffor, some-limein our choice as to men, because there are plenty of good men to fill portion of honor and trust, but when rertain names are decided on, we join hands and hearts and vote as one, sinking personal preference for the common good, without violating any principle of Republicanism or sacrificing our We Con-etitk- s, freedom. want none of the strife, bitterness nod riot of contested elections, as we have teen them in other places.
