COUNTY TICKET


State Nominations.
The ticket put in nomination at State Con-
vention on the . lust. will unquestionably be
elected by a large majority. We do not sup
pose that any persons will be run in opposi-
ton to the gentlemen there nominated, save
those on the administrator ticket and we
should be sorry TO see it done. We do not
doubt moreover that the nominees when elect
ed, will s~evcrally perform their duties well.
Yet to say that the nomination is u %satisiac-
tory one to the great body Of those who are
expected to vote for it, in our Judgment would
be untrue. In this remark we do not refer to
the personal qualities OF the candidates, nor to
any individual or local disappointmcnts, &c
cause Others were not selected. From no such
cause does the dissatisfaction which we speak
of, arise. The people of Vermont have good
sense enough to know that all can not have
their wishes gratilel in the choice of their
own friends for public Offices and they are
wont to u%licct their personal feelings in such
m4tters to their regard for the public veal.
All they ask for in such matters is that they
snail be fairly dcqt iv. In this case, the
feeling exists very widely that they have not
been fairly dealt by, and hence the dissatis-
faction Of which We speak. We do not speak
Of it to agsrlyatc 1t, but Tor the opposite
purpose. An open and fair consideration Of
the case, just as 1t Is VIII 10 much to quiet
whatever irritation OF feeling exists \ eau
tious Abstaining from all %allusiou to it can
only leave the eNi - penetrate the deeper,
and to work the F~le-'er mischief.

We did not believe that the action OF

large number OF those who had joined the
councils OF that party. We did not believe
that the nomination OF Mr.. Fletcher 10y that
Convention was either anticipated or wished
Tor by him. Neither did We believe that he
