Let our friends all be on hand at the
mass meeting next Saturday evening,
for the nomination of County officers.
There are very important reasons why
our party should do up the business Of
the coming election in their own way.
An altfill attempt has been made to
pack mixed ticket upon us--an at
tempt to get no pariy'sn once more upon
its legs. The Wings have taken for
their ticket, the appointees of the Gov
ernor, expecting to carry the election by
Executive influence. The Governor
gilded the pill by appointing two or three
Democrats: but if there is n man OF
our party, who does not see that these
appointments were all made, with refer
ence to weakening the Democratic vote

Messrs. Barring s CO., have keen eye
to keeping up the American popularity
Of their house Mr. Sturgis is not only
a thoroughly experienced merchant, bat
gentleman of fine address and accom-

Of age. A more popular successor to
Mr.. Bates, could not have been found.
The choice has given great satisfaction
to orr Boston merchants.

The Boston correspondent of the
Washington Republic gives the follow

An eaort is to be made to induce Mr..
Edward Everett to run against MIR. Pal

tain Eustis, of the engineer corps Of the
army, will, it is iumored, accept the APP
pointment of professor in the engineer
lug department OF the Lawrence Scien-
tific School at Cambridge; which pro-
Censorship has been offered him with a
salary of 5000 year. The post has
hitherto remained vacant from the diff
Gully in finding suitable man to occupy
it. The North American Review is said
to be falling off III its subscription list !;

majors are said to be r. H. Dana and
others, who aided in starting the Clown

celebrated German Chemist, Liebig, is
saidto be positively coming to this coun-

We learn that we did injustice in
charging the nomination of G. *.
Smith for Secretary of Minnesota, upon
Secretary Ewing, The nomination was
made before Secretary Ewing had en-
tered upon the duties of his Office.
With all the sins charged upon him,
Secretary Ewing disclaims the enormity
of that appointment. We certainly do
not believe in the total depravity of the
Wings at Washington. Smith was APP
pointed without being known. 1t is
rash to conclude that the Senate would
ever have confirmed his nomination, il
he had shown his face ia Washington,
looking, as it does, like caricature OF
the eighth commandment violated.
