Wing County Convention.

lHe wing Souhty So"''"'o"' hS' Wv
Alfred on Wednesday, our readers will oh.
serve from the official record of the doings,
re.nominated for Senators two who were put
in nomination last year. NATHAN DANE,
ESQ.,, of Alfred, and JonN N GOODWIN,
ESQ, Of Moth Berwick. These gentlemen,
according to the general practice, having
been candidates for one year, were entitled
to denomination, and their claims in this
respect, were cheeriully admitted. Both
are men we'll known to the voters of the
County, and respected for intelligence and
ability, aud have the confidence. Of the
community. JARVIS WILLIAMS, ESQ, Of
Saco, the gentleman who takes the place on
the ticket which has hitherto been occupied
by Mr.. Smith, of Saco, for several years, is
a gentleman who has the entire respect and
confidence Of the community in which he
resides. IIe has well deserved popularity
among his fellow citizens, growing out of his
generous qualities, and uniform regard for
+all those virtues which make man at once
beloved and esteemed as citizen and q
man. For number of years he has been
extensively engaged in the Foundry business
here, and is well known throughout the
County as an energetic, honorable business
man, and as gentleman Of ability, intelli.
gence and social worth. His nomination
will give great satisfaction to his fellow CHI
zens here, and be cheeriully responded to by
mis- why friends elsewhere in the County.
The nomination OF County Commissioner
was made after full and harmonious dis.
cussion, and we believe that the grounds
upon which il was made. will meet hearty
concurrence of the citizens of the County
interested in the correct management Of the
County affairs. For obvious reasons il was
thought best to rive such direction to the
Canvass, in this particular, rs would favora-
bly, result in the election of gentleman to
the board whose political sympathics did not
accord with others on the board, so that
there might be check 10 improper eypen.
ditures Of the public money. The conven-
ton, in selecting gentleman who has been
pull in nomination by other parties opposed
to the Nebraska aud Slavery Democracy,
acted generously and wisely, and in accor.
dance with the dictate Of sound, common
sense. The office of County Commissioner
is not q political one, its duties are confined
to the immediate interests Of The County,
and its influence is limited to the County :
The board for many years has been politi.
cal one. A little infusion OF practical atten.
ton to the real interests of the County,
canno, fail to BIO of service in checking prod.
igality, aud perhaps may lead 10 the cutting
of of unnecessary expenses.
The gentleman selected, CorroS BEAN, of
Limerick, is said to be an honest, intelligent
man, and conversant with business. AS q
plurality will elect, there is fair probability
of his election.
Isaac P. YEToN, ESQ.,, Of South Der.
wick, the gentleman put in nomination as
Treasurer, is resident Of South Berwick,
has represented that place in the Legislature,
and is esteemed by his fellow citizens of oil
parties who are acquainted with him. He
will, we trust. DO elected, and the finances
of the County could no, be entrusted to bet
ter hands. He will also be voted for by the
Morrill, democrats and freesoilers.
The Convention, we would remark, in
conclusion, was harmonious, and its mem.
bers separated with the best Of feeling, sat
'stied with the proceedings, and the candi.
dates put in nomination.
