to express their adherence of the position of the
Wing and Democratic parties. Laboring men,
who do their own thinking and unalterably re-
solve to vote for freedom, turn out en- masse to

wALwORTH COUNTY FREE DEMO.

DEAR TELEGRAPH -
improve this the first opportunity, of inform

time and organized about TO- A. NJ. After ex-
aiming the credentials, the Convention adjourn.
ed till halfpast one in the afternoon, at which
time they met and proceeded 10 the nomination
of the county officers. Every town excepting
one was represented by full delegation. The
Convention was large and enthusiastic. Cheer
after cheer rent the air as each lucky nominee
returned his thanks in the form Of tub full of
apples, which verified the remark that "The
true road to mans favor is through his stomach
After short sitting, the Convention succeed
ed in presenting ticket to the Free Democra-
cy of Waworth county, which is in every point
faultless in fact, the strongest nomination that
ever was made by any party in that county, and
is so admitted by the two factions OF the oppo-
sing party.
In the evening, we listened with the greatest
pleasure to Mr.. Durkee. Afterwards, we were
highly amused by the comical absurdities of a
brazen-faced deserter, who attempted to uphold
the principles Of the bunker platforms, by argg-
ment. The first instance, almost, upon record
The audience then, with greatest satisfaction,
listened to our invincible townsman, Judge
Spooner, as he gave the last speaker particular

The abuse that has been heaped upon Mr..
Durkee, On account of the Committee of Con.
gress havirg left Racine out of the Harbor Bill,
has given to Mr.. Dnrkee's friends good oppor.
tunity, of explaining fully the matter, and show
ing how true Mr. d. has been to his constitu-
ents in every part OF the District. The attempt
TO malign Mr. Durkee was made too early for
effect, as we shall now show.
The circumstances are simply these. Mr.
Durkee saw the Chairman, and the committee
on the subject of our harbors, urged upon them
the report of the Typographical Bureau, which
was supposed TO be the best for us, and for all.
miserable economy on the part of the Hunkers
who composed the committee, induced them to
strike out important points, thing Mr.. Durkes
did not and could not, suppose even hunkers were
mad enough to do. When Mr.. Durkee found
this out, he suggested division between this city
and Kenosha. Even this, the bunker commit
the would not agree to, and Racine was like to
be left out.
Nessrs. Strong and Wright from our city,
went to Washington and did their best, but they
were about giving up in despair, when Mr. Dur
kee through the Wing Secretary of War, got
recommendation for Racine, upon the promise
of Mr.. Seymour in such case TO insert Racine.
When this was got, Mr.. Durkee informed Mes-
SIS Strong and Wright, of the safety OF Racine
which they even then somewhat doubted, and
which could have been got in by no other means,
though Mr.. d. had laid his plans to introduce
an amendment, giving an appropriation TO Racine
which would probably have given to it much
larger appropriation.
Thus, then it stands To Mr.. Durkee and q
Wing Secretary of War, we owe this appr"pria.
ton. To the hnnker committee and House, wo
nearly owe the loss Of every thing. And we
all know that had it not been for the impending
election the Hunkers would have passed no Hsr.
Dor Bill, and did not wish to as it was, and the
records show that they as party, voted agans,
| liarbors as it was.
| We publish the letter Of Mr.. Seymour the
bunker Chairman of the committee on Harbors
to Mr.. Durkee as the first STEP promising that il
will be well for the Hunkers to remember, that
those who have no right to agtate the slave ques-
ton Gin Congress or out" can have none to dis
pute with great bunker committee man ike
Mr.. Seymour, who is one of their rulers, and
whom they are bound to obey as such, to believe
perfect or to swear to his perfection, they don't
believe it.

THE COUNTY TICKET.

] At the head OF our columns will be found the
County at their Convention on Saturday last
We call the ticket an excellent one in whatever
light viewed-as well with reference to the pos
tive fitness of the men for the places TO which
they have been nominated, as to the principles Of
which they are the representatives and expo
nents We say in all candor, well aware Of the
responsibility we assume in doing it, that there
is not man on the ticket but is excellently quail
fled for the place for which he has been nomina-
ted.
Mr.. THoRP, of Bristol the candidate for Sher-
ifs a man of experience in that business
having served seven years in that capacity in the
State of New York, and as all who are acquaint-
ed with him know, is a man of activity. of en-
ergy, of promptness, and of honesty. We know
of no reason why he should not have the united
vote of the Free Democracy. We think that
he will be triumphantly elected.
Of Mr.. BRANDE, our candidate for Register
it is perhaps enough to say, that in the duties OF
that office he would oe equal to the present ca
| pable aud worthy incumbent. Mr.. Brande is an
excellent penman, is careful and methodical in
all his INDEPENDENTLY, courteous and oblig.
ing in his manners, and should he be elected, as
we think he will, the public will find the same
industry, order, promptness and courtesy will
hereafter be found in that Office, as heretofore
We are in favor of rotation in office, when the
public will suffer no detriment by the change.
and feeling quite certain that no detriment will
grow out of this change, we ask the Free De.
mocracy to give Mr.. Brande the united sup
port, which will ensure his success.
OF Messrs. Dana, Frank, Petit, Deming and
the others, it is unnecessary for us to speak at
length. The people ore well acquainted with
them, and without word Of disparagement of
their opponents, we must say they are the very
best men, for their respective places, that could be
selected. There is no man in the county but
will feel, should these man be chosen, that all
the interests confded to them will be faithfully
guarded and the duties OF their res pective offices
strictly performed.
We do think we are fortunate in our ticket
1t is unobjectonable in every point of view. 1t
is worthy of the united vote of the party, and it
will get it, and be elected.
| Our friends will understand we are not de-
handing of them in the name of party to come
up and elect this ticket-Free Democracy does
not demand that incompetent men shall be cho-
sen to office, however they may get before the
people; but when we present ticket like this,
eninently fit in all respects, we think we may
with propriety, ask the party to give it their uni
ted support. They will do it, and it will be elect
ed.
