To show the unaAimity with which the
above ticket was nominated, and the spirit
which actuatps the whole sduled democracy
Of Jefferson county, we append the following
extracts from the American Union, of the
ed inst;
Above is the ticket selected by the repre-
sentativeS Of the Democracy at bloomfield
on Monday last The delegates were all in
attendance, leaving notOne vacancy from any
of the Townships TO fila thing unprecc-
dented in the political annals Of this county
The voice of the democracy in the selection
of these delegates was also unprecedented
more votes having been cast at the primary
meetings in some of the districts than there
has been democratic votes at any general
election for years past. The delegates them
selves were a fine looking body of men, and
comported themselves IN manner worthy
of the trust thus conferred upon them. Un-
der the management of the gentlemanly
President Of the convention, who really de-
serves credit for the buSAess-like manner
and expedition with which its proceedings
were conducted, the whole business was
concluded in session of an hour and a half
There was no tagging of interest--no leav-
ing of seats towards the conclusion, but ev-
cry delegate remained at his post until the
nominations were made. And when they
adjourned, the delegates and those in at
tendance separated with warm assurances
that each and every one would doall in their
power to secure the success of the ticket Just
nominated. Take it all in all, we donot be-
lieve that a convention in this county was
ever conducted in fairer manner, nor was
ever ticket selected. that gave more general
satisfaction. The wings, who counted SO
confidently upon some dissatisfaction as u
consequence of the many candidates for no.
mination, have thus been signally disappoin-
ted.
OF the nominees thus placed before the
people under such auspicious circumstances,
we snail not now speak in detail. That they
were nominated after 50 full au expression
of the wishes of the party, is itself strong
evidence that they are good men and COM
petent for the offices for which they are ma
med, and that they succeeded overthe heads
/ Of men who were undoubtedly good, compe-
tent and popular, is perhaps the strongest
evidence which can be otferedin their favor.
In fact, when SO many good men were aspi-
rants it was almest impossible to go amiss.
Some of the Unsuccessful candidates were
foremost to proffer their exertions to secure
the election of their successful competitors,
and all were satisfied that every thing was
fairly done, as became democrats, and will
support the ticket
With such spirit and such ticket, a lit
tie iudicious exertion will secure its success.
