tOns nave Dccn nelus unu Two ects VI N"hei-
dates, comprising at least three tickets, have
been put in nomination. The proceedings of
these several conventions IRE officially report
cd elsewhere, and our readers arc referred to
those records for details.
1t is perhaps needless for us to say, as we
now do frankly, in view of all the candidates
before the people for their suflragcs, that we
shall cheerfully give what little influence we
possess in support Of the genuine Republican
ticket, nominated on Saturday. We do this
because we endorse the principles which gui-
ded the convention, and governed It's sclcc-
ton of candidates. There ure individuals
whose names appear on the ticket of the Peo-
pies convention, for whom we entertain the
highest personal regard, aud most of whom,
under other circumstances, We could willingly
support for tho offices TO which they have
been respectively named. With full under
standing of the controlling influences which
placed them in their present position, we re-
gard their success as detrimental to the inter-
ests oftruc Ropublcanism in this county, aud
therefore are constrained to use all honorable
means 10 prevent their election. We regret
the necessity Of being driven to such CON
clusion, but VIC see no way in which we can
avoid it consistently with the duty we owe to
the anti.slavery principles we have constantly
avowed.
We regard the convention Of the 18th, rs
legitmatcly called, aud its proceedings cred
The Republicans and Americans of this coun-
ty have, 10y their resolutions at the two State
conventions at Burlington, the present year,
avowcd an uuyclding opposition TO the pres
ent national administration, to the repeal OF
the Missouri ,mpromise, aud to the agrees
sive policy of the slave power, ms manifested
d. in It's injauilous justification of the rruplions
OF the Missourians into Kansas. Upon this
point they were fill. agreed. ..'.i ,.,c,' ,frs
principle they united in convention on Saiur-
day. With this record they go before the
people of this county.
Opposed to this convention and most Of its
nominees is the administration party, OF
course; and those other individuals who pro-
fcss to have such a holy horror of secret or
ganizations that they are ready to unite with
any party, and any body, to crush these or
ganizations, aud the individuals who are mem
bers of them, out of political existence. That
the opposition of this last named class is
somewhat personal may be safely inferred
from the fact that some of the most promi-
nent leaders in this movement for "open po-
litical action" were, themselves, until quite
recently, members of an organization every
way as secret and rs Objectionable, but which
was originated for the pous purpose Of break
ing down tho American party. The means,
deplorable as they now profess TO believe
them, were, in their eyes then, fully justified
by the end they had in view.
The representatives of these two Glasses
met in conventions, (boih being called TO meet
Tuesday. Various propositions, it appears
from the record, were intcrchnnged, but all
were found objectionable. As last effort,
the Democrats, we are credibly informed,
sent in ticket with only ono blank, gracious
ly permitting the Peoples convention to cxer-
else the paltry privilege of naming one Of the
Senators. Til, was bi,,er nilI. !, ,yos
