Fepf'rtAer l. ly oSice on wave 8ie popular excitement, or is bopstr forward -by poli ticians who need to rstch some vote or.in-i fluence which they are supposed to-control. 7 Parties ought to be grateful to those who work most fanbfaily for their party, but there is a consideration paramount to this, whieh might to have its due weight, and that is whether the -aspirant wiUr fill 1 the ofhee to which he aspires, with credit to himself and his party, and profit to the people, and is the best man who will accept the nomination. (i ti i A party who refuses to be governed by this great principle, is on the highway to ruin.

A politician Who advocates the claims of a man for an office for which he is not fitted, is an unsafe politician, and whether Ird by personal friendship or by the consideration which sometimes influences the demagogue, he is equally unjust to himself, ta hia party, and to his friend whose advancement he pretends to advocate. The Wyandott Democracy heretofore have adhered to this principle, and we believe that in nominations which are to be made under the State organlzatioa in thii county, that they will continoe to adhere to it, and then success is certain. We know not who may be candidatesj nor who desire to be. We have the names of no favorite to present, and only ask that the Convention, when it shall meet, will consider the best of the people of the county, and of the party, in making these nominations, and wo will be satisfied.

Mrni is an. imitative creature, and as fond of a novelty as a lady of a new bonnet. This peculiar characteristic of the race was illustrated by all the boys attempting to fly from a gate post, because a man announced that he would fly from the church steeple, A wonderful example of the imitative nature of man, is now being furnished in Wyandott. Blondon danced a jig and cooked an omelet on a tight rope, over the great chasm a Niagara, and half the world went crazy for a tight rope performance. There are certain gentlemen in cur town who have stretched a Apolitical tight rope, and insist upon going upon it toper-form, always, however, taking good care to have a slipping noose around their neck to guard against any accidental fall.

If there was a possibility of succeeding in the feat they announced, there would be a greater crowd to witness the performance than Blcndiu ever dreamed of. Gentlemen, your omelet would taste just as sweet if you should sit down and cook it without a yewning beneath. You can find a safer platform to dance a jig upon, than a tight rope. The carefully arranged slipping noose is no protection, for, though it may save you from drown ing.it will inevitably hang you, and if you should fird six or a dozen other? strung along on this same rope with yourselves, it will not make hanging any more pleasant than if you hung there solitary and alone. But suppose you make no mis-sttp, that yen dunce your jig, and tat your omelet, what will you have gained Blondin received SS.COQ in hard cash srnd heard urrvers-al applause from both sides of You will expend your money, and if you bring forth a tnurmer of applause frotn one side, it will be drowned by the curses of the other.

Blondin performed for a reasonable crowd, who paid him liberally, and did not ask him to perfor.n anything but what he had anncunced. Take care that those who urge you on, do not, when you done all that you desire to do, in their excitement, demand that you, should gratify their wonderful appetite for harlequin performances, by throwing yourself from your tight rope, that they may see what will happen. Depend upon it, those who can urge you on to such a crazy performance have no interest in your political lives, nor will they mourn your political Cot. Wm.

tPro-D tho Stu fVam iscj Times, 15'li In lS3-, the whirlwind of Know No'h-in'gism swept over California. It completely destroyed the existing political division. mi a general breaking op of the political fabric was the consequence. A order of thills succeeded. New men wh-j had never beer heard of rose up to the surface.

Tho excited and bubbling r.i-.ildron threw to the top any amount of refuse dross and worthless scum. People were madly excited. They cried out lor reform, and whoever shot. ltd reform anl professed Know Xothingism was hailed as am honest man and a reformer. Thus were nominated for elevated positions r.f whm nothicg was known, and who, tho older parties, when the character tiad ability of mtn were better undent od, would never have been thought of as entitled to any position above that of judge of a horse race or dealer of faro.

i The uiOirnotablo and disastrous instance of the Midden devotion of man of thid thtracttr that occurred during that ui fortunate period, was tho election of Judge David S. Terry to the positionof Judge of the Supreme Court. Probably, had California been rnked over frcm one ex-t rente to the other with a revolving horse rake, another man so unfitted for the position of Judge, among those claiming to In not iWe been found. 11a was a man. without education, a rid 'with little knowledge of the principles cf law, a -would be required in" nny other ouinrv' tii make ft uaticfc tf I ih'er Peace, lie had ulv.lr guished himself only for numerous fights andbTawh thtrt he had been engaged in.

He had one quality that he poisoned in common with Tne bull-dog. nnd being a man of pouerfuU and jtxeat fckill in the ue of weapon, he was always regarded as a moV dangerous i a it. But tad as ho was. and uufit as he was for the position, yet the people elected hin io the high office of Judge of the Supreme Court. AYa qu te the above ttrtiela io order, at triti.

Such being the facts, we think we know Mr. Forsyth urell enough to know thai he will not become a candidate for the office of Sheriff, or do anything to endanger Mr. WTood's election. Mr. Stover was a candidate before the Quindaro Convention, and as an hoicra- man, and a good Democrat, he will no; approve of hi name being put upon any opposition ticket.

Nine out of the ten candidates to elected, will therefore undoubtedly support the regular ticket. What position Mr. Bartlett occupies, we do not know. He ii not now in our County, and he has not taken that active and decided pari in politics which would enable us to judge of what he will do under the hut we believe him to be a man of ton guod judgment to make himself the ttumbliug block of the Democratic party. There are two tickets in the field, the Democratic and Republican.

If any other put forth, it will be got up by some interested Republicans, to divide the Democracy and give the Republican candi dates, nominated at Quindaro, an Let no voter be deceived, and the result will inevitably he a democratic victory on ihe 8th day of November.
