1t has for somo tine been question
with that portion of our democratic friends
who swallow the Cincinnati Platform with
the candidate annexed whether it was or
was not policy-to expose their weakness
by nominating County Ticket. 1t was
allowed by many that such ticket would
be defeated, aud its influence most disas-
trous, but that if they could drop all party
lines, and coax old Wings enough into the
support of volunteer and independent can
didatcs to elect one or two, then it would
be safe to raise a big Lurra over the tri-
umph of democracy, Buchanan, and Kan
sas, in old Union. While others allowed
that they had better go thro' the motions
anyhow; that they should stand or fall by
their glorious principles, and squatter SOW
reignty that they didn't ask any favors,
and didn't want any votes from Federal
Whigs, Anti, Masons, Know Nothings, Dis.
unionists, Aboli'iouists, or Niger Wor
shippers; that they wanted pure, clean,
Democratic ticket, &c. To settle this
question, it was determined to call together
that portion of the dove tailed democratic
county committee in favor of Buchanan.
Accordingly, on Saturday last, 'miue
host HERR made ample preparations for
the entertainment Of the hungry and ,hirs-
ty democratic committee. men, who poured
in from every quarter until their number
Cucluding the two from the boro) swelled
up to fire After due deliberation and the
lapse of time necessary to concentrate n
body SO formidable, Geo A. Frick, Esq,
was called to the chair and Jno. w Young
appointed Secretary. 1t was then decided
to hold a county convention to appoint
Congressional and Representative Confer
ees. Delegate elections from to P. m.
of Saturday the Cd of August, aud county
convention at Biehl's hotel the Monday
following. 'Each town ard township to
have two delegates.
And 50 it was determined to make no
open resistance to the Union County Tick
ct, but to make a scrub race with rolun-
teers. The last question l heard them
discussing was that of Representative.
Old line Democrat No. l. thought that it
wasn't honest, and they couldn't prosper,
while they pretended to condemn Know.
Notbingisin, and yet voted for Mott and
Bo:shter aud CraN ford and other X n :,
and their unwise editors were praisiDG up
Fillmore, the Know Nothing candidate
for President; they must be more honest,
&c. "Honesty be -" says old-!ine
Democra. No. ., 1--WE must use policy,and

for Representative, or not. ARIEL.
