THE NOMINATION.

On Saturday the 5lh instant, the Democra
cy OF Wyandot county in Convention assem-
hled, and nominated a ticket. The nomlna
tions are the best that could have been made
every one Of the nominees being true and
tried Democrats. 1t is true, those who were
before the Convection and not chosen, are
good Democrats, and will undoubtedly, to a
man, support the ones taken up by the Con
venlon. In that Convention every township
in the county was represented, and this will
be gratifying to the Democrats, and cause
each man to rally to the and of the nominees.
We never witnessed a more fully represented
Convention since our arrival in the county,
and as it was so fully attended and the major
tiles SO decided for the nominees, we have
every reason to believe that the ticket will be
triumphantly elected-that our majority will
be vastly increased from former elections.
To this end let every true Democrat be en-.
gagged and do his duty, and the result will
prove most glorious to the Democracy.
Now Democrats, you are TO consider well
your duty before you give utterance to the
least dissatisfaction, for every word said
by you against your ticket Is seized upon by
the enemy, enlarged and sent abroad as your
sentinent-as the dissatisfaction existing in
the Democratic ranks; and it gives the Wings
that much more encouragement TO fight harder,
You who profess to be Democrats, must adj
init that the nominees, are also Democrats
that by supporting them, alone, can you sus.
tain the principles which you contend to be
the most pure and advantageous to the peo-
ple,-and that every one who fails to vote for
his ticket gives SO much strength to the ene-
my and weakens his! own party that much
These are facts which every man must admit
When Corwin made his tory speech in the
u IS. Senate in Justification of Mexico and
against his own country, every man tavorable
TO the prosecution of that war charge him
and justly too, wl.h giving aid to the enemy
Well now, does not every Democrat win,
speaks or acts against the nomination of his
party, like Corwin, give aid to the enemy, the
Wing party.
Democrats, if you would maintain YOU
principles, you must not let little personal dif
hcullies cause you to oppose your nominations
for as soon as you do that you permit your enc
my to triumph.

much so as the militia Captain who declared

will keep it inviolate, probably.

THE POPULAR VOTE SYSTEM.

A resolution was offered and unanimously
adopted, at our County Convention, on The 5,h
instant, recommending to the Democracy OF
Wyandot, in all future nomins ,ions,the popu
lar vote system. The Democratic voters will
decide at meetings TO be called in The coming
spring whether they will adopt the wholesome
system OF the popular vote, or continue the old
delegate sys.em. We believe the popular
vote system, when tried, will give universal
satisfaction TO tire party; and that our nomlna-
,ions under it will prove better than under any
other system; Tor then every township can
have full representation If it brings out it's
voters, and each man can then vote his own
sentiment. Although men may appoint dele
gales they may be deceived in them and not
get their wishes represented; but, ifthe popu-
lar vote prevails, then every man represents
himself and carries out his own desires. This
is Democratic, and nominations thus made
must give the utmost satisfaction. Let us as
Democrats, adopt system of nomination that
will be Democratic IN every particular, and
then when nominations are made, who that 10
Democrat can find objections! The purity
Of the Democratic principles The union ofthe
party the success OF our ticket, all call for a
good and wholesome 81 stem of nomination; and
we know OF none more periect-more equal in
lis operations and just in the end. Than that Of
the popular vote.

Governor Of Michigan from seven Presidents

pie, who betrayed their hua and never could
receive another Office from the same constit-

o. Democrats, rally around your ow
