ARE THEY MEN!

It is well known that Mr. Snyder, in tho campaign ot 1855, stumped the. county in opposition to to the regularly nominated Democratic ticket, 'lhe ifien composing that ticket were Messrs. J. McCarthy, .1. H. Loughridge ami Wfn. Jacks. Perhaps it is owing to the disaffection of Mr. Snyder then, more than any other cause, that they were defeated; and from that time the Democratic party can 'date its downfall in this - county. Mr. Snyilrr then denominated the ticket “Spitler’s Kitchen ticket.” - Now, can the men thus defeated, and Mr. Spitler; wl name was so contemptuously’ used on the occasion,'vote for Mr. Snvder for the Legislature! If they, believing him to be a good ai d true man, superior in every good quality to Mr. Robert Parker, can fizrget-tlie old injury and vote for him, they are more than men. But if they support him, merejy -because he is opposed to Mr. Parker, and will.vote for him cnt~of partypride, they are less than men. If they support* him, it will tend to demoralize the party, and any person dissatisfied with a nomination, can come out in opposition to it, and inn himself on the same ticket in three years.
