Democratic party, for the Offices of Repre-

ton, if We had not wished to hear from the
district Convention in order that we might
form afpll ticket at once. But we are now
mo nearer an agreement with regard to the
time of holding the district Convention
than when the subject was first mooted, and
as the election is drawing near We feelit to
be our duty no longer to wait for the action
or the district Convention, but Immediately
to nail our county nominations to the mast
head. 1t is a good ticket, and we expect
to see it 'receive the warm and cordial sup
port Of the Democratic party. We can
elect it if we will. Then let there be no
'heart-burning jealousy in our ranks. Let
us throw our individual prejudices to the
winds, and come up to the support of our
principles, ard the victory will be ours.
SECOND SENATORIAL DISTRICT.
: Many inquiries have recently been made
Of US upon the subject Of a nomination to
the State Senate. The people are anxious
to know who is to be our candidate for that
oGice; and the action OF the two counties
composing The district seems to be not gen.
orally understood. Rails county at Ter mass
meeting nominated Col. WIN. PRIEST and
requested the concurrence Of the democrats
Of Pike in that nomination. Pike held a
meeting during the same week and appoint
cd three delegates to meet with the dele
gates from Rails for the purpose of max
ing a nomination. But Rails has not yet
chosen her delegates; nor has she had any
further. action on the subject than the re-
commentator of Col. Priest. Pike has not
.assented to that nomination by any public
act; nor is there any understanding between
the two counties. What then is to be done?
Will Pike by a public meeting, or by her
delegates concur in the nomination made
by Rails? Or will Rails yet appoint dele
gates to meet in Convention with those APP
pointed, by Pike? 1t is time that an under.
: standing was had on the subject. We care
not how it is done, whether by public meet
ing or otherwise, SO that the counties come
to an understanding, and that soon. 1t is
now nearly time for the canvass to open;
and Of course it is high time that we had
= determined who should bear our standard.
ii There seems TO be a very general wish
g., among the people that Pike may accept the
Il Recommendation Of Rails, and give Col.
'iPsiest the nomination. But we wish to hear
some public expression on the subject; and
it seems to us to be the duty of Rails to
Il sppoint her delegates to meet with ours in
@ Convention. But as she has failed to do so
we, hope tRe delegates of Pike will eithe Ell
make a public call upon the people of Rails
to meet them in convention, or will make
.sresPonse to their Recommendation imme-
diately. We place at the head of our col
- umns the name Of N. P. Minor, our nomi.
nee for the legislature, and We wish the
Democrats of the district to determine who
shall be our candidate for the Senate, in
order that our ticket may be formed as soor
as possible.
