Mn. ARGUS In accordance with my curiosity
! attended the Wing County Convention Saturday
lash. For some time was at loss to decide the
exact political character Of the persons assembled
in and about the Court House. | saw the two
Court House candidates for Senators, two or three
Court House candidates for the Assembly, and
larce number of Court House wirepullers, at least
l think they all belonged to the Court House be-
cause they made this institution their head quarters
the Whic Convention being assembled and called
20 order by T. H. Williams, Esq, at the same
place.
Gen ]. w. Denver candidate for Congress, Ia
Musicals, was also on hand route, as was IN
formed. to address the wondering multitude on the
plaza. at the city of Placervie, dropping in here
to snuff breath of air from Piety l1lll to tune MS
lungs for the extraordinary effort and to inhale
some of the perfume of whiggery with which to
season his remarks and make them acceptable TO ms
hearers. The wings preliminary to organization
managed well; they stood up straight to their
work. the leaders opening and shutting their
mouths from time to time in the most approved
manner Some small differences about Miner and
Settlerism required adjustment. lhls was skliluIly
managed by arriving at the conclusion that Minor
and Sottlerism never existed only In the BRAN OF
some wicked locofocos, who were always Scareing
up some mares nest about election time to distract
the great democratic, republican, whg party
Therefore Miner and Settlerism was considered and
believed to be device of the enemy, intended sole
ly to nouriSh seeds of dissension in the family Of
the faithful, and inasmuch as the wing party en-
Lraced nearly all the decency, religion and aristoc-
racy in the land, it would be ridiculous in the
extreme to differ and quarrel like that herd Of Gem
mon chaps,-mere cattle, commonly known as the
democratic party. Another source Of trouble also
occurred to wit the division of the State and the
introduction of slavery. This topic was handled,
also, with commendabe skill difference of opin-
ion existing 1t was resolved to keep silent if posi-
bio and discover the popular current One Of their
candidates for the Senate having professionally de-
tended niger, as he had right to do, some evil
disposed person started the story that be was an
abolitoniSt. To keep the party pure for the pres
cnt the candidate quietly 'dfapt," although he
declared the story fabrication and the originator
thereof liar. A whig at my elbow muttered
there no liars in the whig party, the story Is
no doubt an invention OF scaly democrat"
Yes said another there is not whig lawyer
in the State that would defend a niger or Chi
naman even; this business is just fit for the self
STYLED democracy" These little differences being
all smoothed off the convention proceeded in the
usual manner, to business, and progressed harmo-
niously, nominated their candidates for the Senate
and then discussed among each other the proper
qualifications for members Of Assembly concluding
almost unanimously that their character for piety
should be foreshadowed in their nominations, and
II. M. Miller, of Cooma, being great Sunday
man, they nominated him on the first ballot intend
ing to make of him stand of against the Son of
Temperance on the Court House ticket, and at the
same time whip Bill Mcconnell with him, Mac"
being stockhoder in the great California Stage
Company, and Miller opposed to such gigantic cor
porations, and especially opposed to the high rate
of fare between Coloma and Sacramento, demanded
by the aforesaid California Stage Company. Now
| can think of only one way with which "Mac"
can beat Miller. 1t is this; the Stage Company
transport the u S. mails, and everybody is fond of
receiving letters and swear till all is blue if letters
do not come, therefore to please the whole commu-
nity with Mac" and this stage combination, let
MAC" write five or six thousand letters, putting
some in his Express and the balance in the Post
Office, at Colona, all properly addressed. The let
ters should be couched in something like the fol-
lowing:
DEAR send bi the male bokay Of hours tha is like
mi luv fur yew the mite shad MeneS kepe dark the dog
Fen menes ure slave
Rossis fad & posts is pail
mi uv fur shall nuver fale.
ure sweRt-art til deth
JOANNA JERUSHA WILLIAMSING.
plan Of this kind will no doubt be productive
Of great popularity as a last resort the Esquire
should be induced to withdraw Millers name from
the canvass printing the circular on paper scented
with otto Of rose-cologne would never answer the
purpose.
The wings nominated full ticket, made speech
