The County Convention.

we gave the proceedings of the Re
publican County Convention in our pa
per of last Monday, and We propose now
n very few words with reference to it.
We have heard no complaints thatThc
C0nscntion was not fairly constituted,
aud that all delegates had full, free and
sair opportunity to express themselves,
and cons;ir their preferences in the Sc
Raotion Of candidates. 1t seems to have
baen in all respects as full, fair and hon
OraHie = convention, IS usually assemblies
10 represent GEy party.
We hear ne arpaint either Of the en-
tire fire So If the several nominees for
Ehe plaeesEo which they have been nom
mated, Tbei .eb7if,y TO filI the places to
which they espire and for W hich they are
u,On,inaseE, we believe u Net questioned.
Nor is theEe. ORGAN Ihere he any objec-
sion to thcm as men or hnefuaers Of SO
ciety, for they are alItemperase, upright
honorable men, We have hrn howey-
er, doubts expressed Is 10 tns fidelity of
some of them TO the Republican cause
and dissatisfaction expressed IN 'oVnse
Iuence ofkhese doubts
In the first place II is esidse THAT ehe
aTfy nominee Of the convention who has
any direct connection with the principles
Of the panty, is the senator We have
heSrd no ERsuhts expressed as to his fl
deity te Gcg1UkNcAU prnclPfes--nor is
there recm for any. DR.. Paddock we are
sure cam be relied on. in the matter of the
election Of United States Senator to go
fer no man who is not FIRM, known and
regSabIS friend OF freedom. He is a far
mer, and his interest is identified with
that of the people OF the country. he is
not politician, and can have n 10 interest
Gn6er any circumstances 10 befray his
constituents We think the nomination
both with reference to the principles and
interests of the Republican party, and the
interests of the whole people good one,
and we trust no Republican in the coun-
~, Whatever dissatisfaction he may feel
with reference TO any portion of the rest
Of the ticket, will allow it to extend to
the candidate for senator, in whose sue
cess our Republican principles are closely
inv olved.
As we said, it is evident with respect
to the rest of the ticket, there is no init
mate connection between the duties Of
the officers and the principles Of the par
~. There are men on the ticket who
certainly would not have been our first
choice as Republicans; but convention
Of the Republican party seems to have
had confidence in them and @".h'le their
ability for the place to which they nave
been respectively nominated, is not ques-
toned, we shall not interpose our indivi-
dual OPINION to distract the Republican
vote. We esteem the slight shaues of
difference in opinion which may perhaps
exist between some of the candidates and
3 majority of the party as of small mo-
ment compared with the necessity for
united and vigorous action, and united
and vigorous vote, SO essential to the sue
cess of our Congressman, Senator, and
other really important officers. And we
earnestly hope that others who feel as
we do, may see it in the line Of their du-
ty TO conclude as we have, that there is
no sufficient reason to leopard the impor-
fant interests involved by allowing our
selves to be divided and distracted on
matters which are unimportant.
Letus unite cordially in the effort to
place our own state with Ohio. Pennsyl-
vania and Indians in the vote against the
administration and in favor of the gener-
al principles Of she Republican party.
