The Jefersoniun gives the following good account
of the Democratic Convention for old Wayne The
editor of the JefersOnian himself selected fer
State Senator; but is modest to praise himself in
speaking of the other candidates. We trust howev-
err the voters of old Wayne will have the good sense
to elect MIR. Elder notwithstanding his modesty. Mr.
Elder a member last winter; but none was
more active influential in the House of Represen-
tatives. Especially in the committee rooms were his
services most felt and appreciated He was mem
Der of the Committee of Ways and Means and of the
Committee on Benevolent and Scientific Institutions
and was of much service in both. The Jefersonian
remarks =
The democratic meeting at Centteville was largely
attended by democrats from all parts of the county
Every township was represented aud general good
feeling prevailed The proceedings will be found on
the outside of to-days paper.
1t will be that DR.. Henry Carer and Othniel
Beeson selected candidates to the Convention
the part of the Democrats Better selections could
not have been made. They both men of talent
and unimpeachable private character Both are old
citizens of the county and are trne and genuine DEM
ocrats. They will compare favoraby with any of the
candidates put in nomination by the Taylor conven-
tion 10 any respect.
Isaac ". Beard. who was Representative in the
last Legislature was nominated for reelection. We
know Mr. Beard we'll and know him to be a man of
sound judgment aud good sense. The interest of the
county will be safe in his hands, of her Rep
resentutves. His standing among his neighbors may
be judged by the large vote he received last year
his township.
The candidates for Sheriff, Assessor Commissioner
and Treasurer well qualified fill the offices for
which they have been nominated.
We shall speak more fully Of tine ticket hereafter.

The withdrawal of Mr.. Burke from his editorial con-

dlctory will speak for ITSELF
To prevent misconcepon with regard to the rea-

any misunderstanding between u.s. personally, or
growing out of any difference of opinion respecting

Quoted.
As am to retire TO the pursuits Of private life,
and again TO mingle, an humble element in the
of that great and powerful party to which, from
my first entrance into active life, il has been my
choice and pride to belong, can with propriey say
the readers OF this paper, that conscienousy believe
that the safety and perpetuation of glorious ma
tional Union with all its splendid achievements proud
memories, aud magnificent prospects, depend more
upon the preservation of the unity and nationality of
the democratic party than upon any other sing
cause and, therefore. 1t will not be unbecoming in
TO invoke them TO strive earnestly against the ef
forts of all who endeavor to bring about division
| in Its ranks upon sectional grounds. The present.
crisis viii test its strength; yet have abiding
faith TINT IL will emerge from the trial with prnci-
Piles purified and with renovated vitality and energy.
