THE COUNTY TICKET.

ne indications now are, that our County
Ticket will be elected by very handsome ma
jority, Notwithstanding the efforts made by the
wing candidates in the field, and the falsehoods
direct and indirect that have been circulated
by the wing presses OF this City.
Our candidates are too we'll known, and their
moral. political, and official worth too highly
appreciated. to leave their opponents the least
possible chance Of success; and our only won.
der is, that they have not sagacity enough to
see it. But still they labor on, and they will
labor until the poll books awaken them to a
conviction of their folly.
In the election of County Officers. there is
something more at stake than mere party as
cendancy. The principles Of cur party nrecv-
er dear, and should ever be maintained but
how doubly active should we be, when. in adj
dition to this, we find the BEST interests Of our
county about to be placed in jeopardy. With
the candidates Of the Democratic party, no
fault has ever been found, They, have held
office before, und IN the discharge of their off
cial duties, they have ever met the unqualified
appreciation Of every citizen of the county. both
Wig and Democrat. No complaints have ev.
er been lodged against them, but on all hands
we hear their official acts spoken of in the high.

THE New YORK Democracy -Vll iheu
Unile?-An attempt vii! Do made, on the
18th of the present month, to heal the scsm
which has heretofore existed in the Demo
cratic ranks in the State of New York. -
This attempt is to be made by Uuion Con-
vention, to be composed of one delegate
from each party, from each uf the assembly
districts in the State. This convention is
to meet at Rome on the 18TH and lie intend
ed, either to take the place Of the two sep.
aratc conventions heretofore called at Utica
and at Syracuse on the 5th and 18th of Sept.
respectively, osto actsadyisory 70 those con-
ven,ions.
The proposition for this Union conven-
ton, originated with the Democrats party:
proper, as was accepted by the State Com
mttee Of the ''Free Sol'' party. The Ian.
guage of the letter of acceptance from the
free Sellers is such as to leave little hope of
a reconciliation. and we shall have to waite
their action, before we can have much con-
fidence in their professcd desire for harmony.

In response 10 the sentiment General Taylor and
his Sutcn Colonel l}ailie Peyton, of Louialana was
called upon the floor. He made happy and perth
nent address, which was received with marked and
enthusiastic demonstrations OF respect and upproba-
ton. He would thank the friends OF Gen. Taylor
for the attentions shown him, and Expressed his re-
greet that he was unable TO be present Every where
since the General efl his plantation on heMssssppi,
he had been received with the greatest enthusiasm,
but It had been reserved for Cincinnati to make such
a display as he had never witnessed before on any
occasion. We regret that we cannot report this
speech In detail but our limits forbid. We can give
merely few points The speaker had noticed in all
the voices who crowded to get sight of the old be-
no, not call for the President. He heard few
shouts for General Taylor, but the general hurra was
for Zachary Taylor Were he an editor reporting
the particulars Of the demonstration, he should say,

General Taylor was n man OF but few words and
fewer promises, but of wonderful performance. II
had been said that he had no principles. What was
his platform? Who did not know II to be the Union
His aim was the good, the happiness and tho glory
of the people, his guide the Constitution He had
He would now, were II in his power, willingly con-
fer II upon another He accepted II not from any
motive OF ambition. At Frankfort he told Mr..
Crittcnden he would gladly give to him and many
another citizen, in whose abilities he had confidence,
all the honor the glory, and the emoluments of the
Office but there was one perquislte he could for no
consideration confer upon another, and that was
the privilege Of kissing so many pretty ladies' Mr.
Peyton related many anecdotes throwing light on
the Generals private history, which were applaudcd
as u they told that the people had not been deceived
In the man of their choice.
Mr. Peyton thought, that If leftto the women and
children for decision, the Buckeye State would have
gone for Old lack. He believed that strong infu-
sion OF Buckeye timber would be found in the old
mans platform. He knew of no State that had
greater claims upon Gen. Taylor. II was the thea
tire of his first military exploits. In conclusion, Mr..
Peyton spoke happily and handsomely Of Ohio her
importance and her prospects; and after again ex-
that by an accident at Madison he had been deprived
the pleasure Of appearing in person, he gave this
sentlment-"GeneralT aylor's Platform, the Union
