There is no need to beat up at length the
Essex, June Goth, proceeded in its action
The long and the short Of it is just this
Laying aside all talk about what tlis or that
party in the State or County may have done
in former years, and about what any one of
them could do this year lift pleased to act as
heretofore, a large part Of the mon in the
wing and free soil ranks were driven by the
present condition of public affairs, to see that
there was no good reason why they should
not act together. They were agreed in de-
testing the Characteristic acts and policy of
the present national administration, its neg
lect of the national interests, and the shame
less prostitution Of its powers to advance the
personal interests of set Of weak, worth
less, and unprincipled men. They were
agreed in alike detcsting slavery wherever it
is, and they abhorred alike the determination
of the administration to make the evil felt II
its most odious forms in the Free States, anC
to push it into new territorits-lrce by ma
ture-irco by the law of God-and pledged t.
| freedom under all the sanctions of law whicl
could possibly he given by the most sacreC
acts of the government itself Alike too, they
| felt that every man owed his best cXcrtions t,
| help bring the national action back to thu
better position winch it held in its early days
and to secure for it iuster direction
hereafter.
Feeling all this, how could they d.
otherwise than look to IA union Of the goo,
against the evil The union did not com
from the talk Of two men, or twenty men, o
fifty men. 1t came from the feeling Of thou
sands throughout the Statc--a feeling whic
exists in hundreds of thousands Throughout
the free States. As to the nominations, NJ
body could select dozen men, every one c
whom all would prefer before all other men lo
the Offices to which theyaro named. One ma
may want an Office himself another wants on
for his friend One man has heard some stor
about this candidate-another man had hi
toes trod on in some business transaction J.
another. Such dissatishctons are inevitable
more or less. They exist every where. \,
most men who claim to be reasonable being,
and to act with their fellow-mcn for goo
purpose, know how to get along without kocl

Now we say the County Union Ticket is
good one,-an uncommonly good ono.-thii
too although the convention put the editor ,
the Free Press in the list Of candidates y
for him, every one is at liberty to consils
his name the weakest one Of the whole, --bu
we say the ticket, as whole, is good one
one made for the right side. We 60 for I'll
whole of it. We expect all wings who wis
he right side in County, stateand Nation. t
revail to 90 for it--ior the whole of it, W
axe it that free sellers, VINO wish the sam
re- 1t, will go for il, also, in the same way
More than that we believe there are not It ie
who have long been members OF tin dem,
cratic party, and who quite likely will ca
themselves democrats and nothing else her,
after. who are clear that the administrative
ought to be condemned, loudly condcmnec
They know very we'll too, that there i but on
way to condemn 1t, and that Is to vote dca
against it, and therefore we believe they wi
do so.
