Ticket, became it is a union of Slater, Whisky and Romanism. . t M. Batxxxs This .. gentleman, tin . candidate for Sheriff,- is qnife well known in the county. lie has served several years as constah'a and , bailiff, . and two years as shciiü. There is an urbanity in his manners, and a respectability in his deportment that malo him personally popular. During the twoyera ofaervice, ia his present office, his general demeanor has beer , unexceptionable, and, as a citizen we tsteem him highly. Yet there ( are reasons whs we would prefer hating another take his place.. .The first is, . that, thou 'h a sober man hinnelf. he la opposed to the enactment and ' en- ' foreement of a U w prohibiting the traffic In intoxicating liquors. With us .this is it fatal objection. There is not a doubt that the next tetsiei of the legislature will enact a prohibitory law. Its enforcement will depend greatly on the aherrifla, of the flute. . In the exercise of the discretion

. given thenj by law, they may render it

nugatory or efficient. Even with the

" rsent law.with agoodkheriff.and conaequcntly a good jury, much can be done. For instance, see the eou-l

i from Union County, in another column

' ef this week's paper. We hare another objection to Mr v Batxner. He is a foreigner. While , we aro anxious ti encourags imrnigra-

- tion, and bid to ourshores tho oppresaed of erery land, we are not ready to put foreigners in so important an exeeutire office, a the Sheriff' office. It would be laying what most kr.ow.to - say that during the leat two years, German who can but. poerly ipesk, , and of course bat poorly anderstand . our language, have been frequently on the juries, that hav tried Americans. This we believe fs wrong. , Let Amer- ' leans S our judges, jurors, and legis, lator and also our sheriflfn. These are our crndid and only ' ob jeetione to Mr. Batxner. They are objections to him as an officer.and not as a citizen and neighbor. In these relations we highly eteem him.

Ladies Temperance Wreath. Ye, U was a touching spectacle I Let us boast no more.of our civilixa tion, our morality, our patriotism, and our philanthropy, as a people. Parents, you need not tell your children about the cruel Hindoo mother, who throws her inno:etit babe to the ' crocodile of the Ganges 1 You need not tell them how widows, are burned to death upon the funeral pile. You need not tell them that th benighted heathen voluntarily permits himself to b crushed beneath .the ponderous wheels of the car of Juggernaut!;-; If you would have them behold heathemam in it most terrific aspect, point o the ad scenes that aro almost doily exhibited in our own fair lind. Our country, by, her laws, throws her children to the rumellers, who are a thousand fold worse than all the crocodiles, of the Nile nd the Ganges.'' The widow of tlx deceased Hindoo ,diea with a feeling of joy, or, at least, indifference ; (or her religious convic'iona male her believe that he it only doing her du ty. Look at the wldowa of our en lightened and Chtiaiian land.

She ees the light o hope ' extinguished forever. She rautendure thedisgrace which attacl e to the drunkard. He weara the fiery brand nron-hia brow; she rxxui it burning into her very heart 1 The inebriate dies and his wif only lives to be haunted by the bitter me morlc ol tue past, - and ' the ever-present thought that he who was' once the star of her existence the father of her children Ilea in that "last and resting place, tho drunkard's grave." And, finally, he Utes a premature death, a victim upon the rnst funera pile which the Rum Fiend has lighted in our land! Does nou her caae appen more touchingly for aympathy, and rry more- loudly for help, than does that of the heathen ?' '' The hideous Juggernaut of Inlem pe ranee is crushing the life-blood from the hearts : of million, beneath the wheels of his Cere ear. His priests the rumsellers, are sacrificiug our fit izen's, sbiil and bodyupon their Moody altars. Mothers, they are pouncing upon the very Inmbi of your little folds, and leading them to tho ahughterl Poor boy I Stemming the world' destructive tide, without the counsel of a father or the prarers of a mother, murdered by rum and the rumseller."
