Nindllam County.

Nindham County.
OF all the political organizations that have
come within Our knowledge, we can think of
none that has so often and vainly resorted to
all manner of shiftlngs, twistings, turnings,
vaccinations and antipodal coalitions, as that
motley faction known, in this State, as first, the
Liberty party, then as Free Soilers, afterwards
as the Free Democracy, and, finally, (having
DOTTED the "Free,") the Democracy ITSELF And
yet, as adept as they have proven themselves to
be in the disgracefu art Of fnessng, we have
never seen anything, that, in shameless nbsur-
dity and arrant impudence, compares with their
late manHuvre in sold Windham."
The Wings in that ever staunch, reliabl,
County, called their County Convention, at
Fayetteville, on the LIST instant, and the new
tangled Democracy called theirs, at the same
place, on the day proceeding. On the Both of
June, this spurious "DemocracH" hopeless of the
success of ticket purely their own and think
ing to destroy the usual wing unanimity, sought
TO attain their sole aim and desire-ihe destrac-
ton and defeat of the wing party by sweetenlng
their ticket with the names Of some Of the best
wings in the County, put in nomnation:--
For Judge Of Probate, .'iarlJoro District, Roy
AL TYLER, of Brattlcboro. For Judge Of Pro-
bate, Westminster District, ABisHAI S IoDDARp,
of Grafton. For States attorney, GEORGE KEEL
LoGe, of Rockingham. For Sheriff. MARSHALL
NEWTON, of Newfane.
Messrs. TYLER and SToDDARD are the pres
ent able and efficient incumbents Of the Probate
offices, and both were nominated for re-clec-
ton by the Wing Convention, of July LIST.
But in respect of Mcssrs. KELLOGG and
NEWTON, the case is widely different. Mr..
KELLOGG is now upon the heel of the second
term that he has held, and honoraby dlscharg
ed. the onerous duties of the Office of State 5
Attorney. And Mr.. NEwToS has heretofore
been honored with, and proved himself worthy
Of, the responsible office Of Sheriff. But al
though some of their inlividul, friends Cof
which they have legions) earnestly urged their
respective claims before the Wing Convcn-
ton, that body, in accordance with the long
and well established usage of the party in that
County, saw fit to nominate,
For States MHorneN r, w. CLARKE, of Brat
tleboro'. For Sheriff. CYRUS CARPENTER, OF
Guilford.
From our personal knowledge of Mr. Clarke
we can confidently assure all law-breakers IN
Windham County, that he will see that they
receive ample justice, and that unless they arc
more than ordinarily swift of wing Mr.. CAg-
PaAT&R's sixteen years experience as Consta
bic of Guilford, will enable him to see thai
such Justice is timely administered.
But the end is not yet The deluded lead
ers of that hotch pot party, have, ever since the
Wing Convention, been ndustriously at WORK
to induce Messrs. KELLOGG and NEWTON tC
stand Free Soil Nomination, and to urge
those wings, who labored hard for their nom
nation, to JON them in the vain endeavor tC
secure their election over the regularly nomi'
mated Wing Candidates. But the hybrids il
one instance at least, "reckoncd without the
host" " e were last night informed by a pri
vate letter that Mr.. KELLOGG has already done
himself the honor of making public declina
ton of the nomination, gratutously and inso
lently bestowed upon him, by their Convention
and plcdging himself to the free and hearty
support of Mr.. CLARKE, the regular Wing nom
inee.
That Mr.. NEWTON will do the same, we can
not doubt. He has too long been a working
reliable wing, to admit of any other conclusion
But whatever course he may sec fit now t.
adopt, we feel justified in assuring the Whig'
of the rest of the State, that their brethren il
the sold fortress" will not fail to elect their
regularly nominated Candidates. This predic
ton is not unadvised, for we know of whom WI
speak.
