Of course ne man should sucris fice his principles, when a vote is necessary to advance them, norshould he be influenced by the base ramors and con. temptible slanders so eagerly circulated against-every man whp comes up for otfice. The despicable policy of blackehing the name of every man who is mentioned for office is entirely too common, and charges of corruption are bandied about, without regard to trath. Such things should be treated with the contempt they deserve at the hands of the voters, But whem men are noto~ riously unfit for position, incapable of pettorming its duties, or, notoriously dishonest, no man should'so’ far sacri~ fice his independence as.to select such an one, when by so doing, the public interests would lose the services of a better maa, and no vital political prin~ cipal is sacrificed by the act.
