Oood men most be chosen men of "no uncertain sound" whom the people know and have confidence in, and, while doing so, let them not selfishly and illiber ally debar patriotic citisent known as Liberal Rebublicans, and Reform erg from having a part and voice in the mutter of reorganization. For some of our truest, and most trust worthy men of to-day were once Oid Line Whigs, and bitterly averse to tho principles of Democracy. Lot the call be broad and liberal, and so plain that it cannot be mistaken by any who desires the overthrow and annihilation of that rotten and corrupt clement known as radicalism. Such a course would, in our humble opinion, rally the people to the Democratic standard and insure onr success. tbHi glil tali eel Jiper, dei Qfcsndtot ahead don't-care-a-coppcr kind of courage NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. - HOME MATTERS.
