Our Ticket.

Our Ticket for the August election is
now complete. Taking it all together, it
is perhaps, the least exceptional of any
other that could have been selected.
Our candidates for State officers will
meet with little opposition. The wings
could not find men, whom they would be
willing to run as candidates, who felt de-
sirous of being defeated by at least twenty
thousand majority, which would certainly
have been the case had they entered into
the contest The State Convention made
choice Of men who had been tried and
proved themselves worthy of the conf.
dence of the democracy of the state. As
soon as the nominations were announced,
the democratic presses of the State, with.
out an exception, placed the ticket at their
mast heads, and gave it warm and cor.
dial support. The ticket is one into whose
hands the administration OF State affairs
can be intrusted with perfect confidence,
and one that every true democrat can sup
port with pleasure and pride.
The wings have selected their men and
entered the contest against our candidates
for Congress, State Senator, Representa-
tives, and county officers. Our candi.
dates are all regularly nominated. which
only means submission to the will ofthe
majority, fairly expressed. By the means
by which our ticket was brought into the
field, our party can alone be united, and
true and liberal principles sustained
When the importance of the approaching
election is taken into consideration, every
democrat is honorably bound to sustain
the regular nominees. The public wei.
fare and the welfare Of the democratic
party, demands this at his hands. Every
one of our nominees can be elected, and
Mill be, if the democracy give them fair
support.
The August election is Of infinite i'm.
portance to the party. The principles
which shall govern US under our new con
stitution and upon which the prosperity of
our people and state depends, are involv.
ed. This election will also have a bear
ing upon the great presidential election
next November. These things should be
kept in view by democrats, and a defeat
of any Of our candidates be avoided.
We are aware that there is dissatisfac.
ton expressed by few, of some of our
nominees. The hopes of the wings are
based upon the supposiiion that these per.
so1Gl feelings and objections will be car.
ried to the polls; but, we predicate, that
they will be haply disappointed. Let
wisdom, fOrbearance, and . spirit Of con.
ciliatiOn, characterize the course Of dem.
ocrats, and all will be well. The wings
are using every exertiOn TO create dissen.
Sions in our ranks, by which they alone
can expect to be successful. We have
too much confidence in the intelligence
and patriotism Of our democratic brethren
to believe that the wings can succeed
with their selfish and anprincipled mach.
nations.
Its now time that every lover of dem.
Ocratic principles was buekling on his
Arnor, and preparing for the CONTEST
We will have no idle battle to fight, bus
one in which thesafistocracy and wealth
will be arEayed against US. Lot there be
no inactivity on the part Of democrats.

Mr.. Van Bursn's Position.

Mr.. Van Buren, declared in letter to
the Utica convention, that his ''public life
was closed,' In which conclusion he ex.
pressed an ''in1exible determination" to
adhere. The convention which repre-.
sented but a faction Of the party of one
state, nominated him as candidate for
chief magistrate of thirty states, and be
permits it to be understood that he accepts
the honor, as he neither declines or ao-
cepts under his own signature. After the
grounds assumed by Mr.. Van Buren's let.
ter, his present position does not reflect
honor on him, for fairness or love of prin.
ciple.
The only issue made by the convention
which nominated Mr.. Van Buren, is plain.
ly sectional one, and is calculated to ar
ray the South against tho North. The
course of Mr.. Van Buren,, is not only as.
tonishing but mortiying to bis heretofore
numerous friends. Thus arrayed against
the party, to whom he is indebted more
than any other man for his position and
influence, he will at once fall from the
high place in democratic confidence which
he has enjoyed heretofore. He has been
a recipient of the party's favors for the
last quarter ofs century, and has held the
highest Offices in rEsir gift. He owes
his success TO the strict adherence to the
convention system and regular nomina-
tions, which has always characterized the
course of his political friends. He now
sets at naught the principle of abiding in
the wisdom of majorities and regular
nominations, which has been so faithfully
extended to him, and heads faction CD
posed to the National nomination Mr..
Van Buren,, by permitting himself to be
made the leader ofa few ambitious dsor
ganizers, merits the execrations of those,
who heretofore, delighted to honor him.
The steps that he has taken are calcula-
ted to fan the fires Of civil strife, and if
followed up by corresponding acts, to burst
the bands of this Union, and involve the
nation in domestic war. We trust that
democrats will pause before they fall in
with such dangerous movement.

Whig Candidate for Congress.

The wings have nominated ]. Y. Scam.
mon, Esq, Of Chicago, as their candidate
for Congress. We have not learned
whether there was any opposition to his
nomination in the convention or not. The
honor of being defeated, however, is no:
generally sought after.
We notice by handbills which are in
circulation, that Mr., Scammon intends
canvassing the disirict and addressing the
people. The notice concludes by calling
upon all to rally, who were opposed to the
continued dictation of J ohm Wentworth. %
He delivered an address here last evening
The turn out was any thing but flatterins
to our whig friends. They did not fine

Boilers in Illinois.

We notice in the Chicago Democrat,
the proceedings of meeting which was
held in Chicago on the 4tb, TO respond TO
the New York factionist's nomination of
Martin Van Buren. We regret that the
Democrat admitted these proceedings into
its columns, for we view their publication
as giving the ''bolters" degree of i'm
PoFtance which policy and consistency
does not dictate. We are confident that
had Mr.. Wentworth been at home, SUD-
porting the Baltimore nominees as he
does, he would not have permitted these
proceedings to have been published, with.
out taking stronger grounds against the
expressions contained in the resolutions.
We are not disappointed in beholding the
names that we do, connected with this
'abolition boiling" movement in Chicago,
for we have been convinced for some time
that large number of those mentioned
in the proceedings, were any thing but
true democrats. This "bolting" spirit
does not reach old Will, OF any other por-
ton of the State that we have heard OF.
We have not yet heard of the first demo-
cras in this county, who will not vote for

County Convention.

We publish the proceedings four coun-
'y convention In to.days paper. From
what we can learn, its proceedings meet
the appreciation of . large majority of the
democratic party of this county, They
were characterized by fairness. and with
due regard to the success of our princi-
pies. The delegates in attendance, with
one exception, acquiesced in the will of
the majority. as clearly expressed, and
will give the nominees their cordial sup.
port.
JAMES BRoD1E, the nominee for sheriff,
is we'll known to the people of this county.
He is our present sheriff, and, as far as
we have been able to ascertain, his off.
cial acts have given general satisfaction.
He is genuine democrat, and will unite
the party, better than any other man could
have done. Of his election there can be
no doubt, without democrats prove recre.
ant to their principles. Will any demo.
crat, be SO lost to duty and principle, as to
vote for whig, OF which will have the
same effect to oppose the democratic nom-
inee. We know the wings are counting
largely on democratic votes to elect Mr..
Leach, and we have even heard deacons
Of certain churches say if they we're bet.
ting men, they would be willing to bet any
amount that Leach would be elected -
What is all this for? II is obviously in.
tended to intimidate democrats, and to de.
ter them from doing their duty. Will it
have that effect? We cannot permit our.
selves to believe for one moment, that we
have any democrats in our party who de-
sires to see one Of the most bitter and un.
compromising wings in the county elected
instead Of James Brodie. This assurance
of the wings, should arouse democrats,
and cause them to be up and doing, and
be prepared to meet our treacherous and
willy fee.
The nomination of JACOB B. ScHER.
is good one. He is strong
man and true democrat. Being one of
the Oldest residents of our county, and
we'll qualified for the station for which he
is candidate, he is sure of an election.
DR.. SELFR1DGE, the nominee tor coron.
or, is a sterling democrat. He will beat
DR.. Corbin, the whig nominee, without
any effort.
The above selections may not be the
first choice Of every member of the party.
but SO long as we observe our time hon.
ored usages and acquiesce in the vill of
the majority in the selection of candidates,
the regular nominees will be our choice.
Whenever men submit their claims to the
action of a convention, they are in duty
bound to abide by its decisions. Let all
personal feelings and prejudices be sur.
rendered upon the altar Of principle,
and triumphant victory will crown our
efforts.

Clay'S Opinion OF the Nomination Of TaylOrs
The following from the Washington,
correspondence dated 18th inst, Of the
Ohio Statesman. throws more light upon
Mr.. Clay's views of the nomination Of
Taylor.
ga dozen letters from different individ.
uals in Lexington, Kentucky, to as many
here, giving an account of the manner in
which Mr.. Clay received the news ofthe
nomination of General Taylor, have been
received within the last three days.
"Itappears that being anxious for In.
formation, he rode over to Lexington,
and with quite q number of bis friends,
remained for some hours around the tel.

not arrived by dinner time, those Of the

had left the table. Some one movedto
go out upon the portico, and have the des-
patch read; so knives, forkes, and glasses
were dropped ina twinkle, and the bal
lotings were there announced from steps
elevating the reader above the crowd.--
At the conclusion of the announcement Of
the result of the fourth ballot, there was
dead silence in the anxious crowd, for
more than aminute, all eyes being turned
upon Mr.. Clay. who stood close BY the
reader. At length an individual ON the
outskirt ofthe crowd shouted, "hurrah for

which had been rendered the sentiment.

OF the wisesl and greatest statesman the

that he )General Taylor)would be taught
in November, that though successful in
dragooning the desining politicians, shsp.
