Our County Ticket.

Our County ticket has now been before the peo-
pie for two weeks, and from every source we have
the most fattering assurances OF the satisfaction
with which it is received by all. Not one
dscordant note comes up, but everywhere are
heard acclamatons of applause at the selections
made by the Convention of the 5h and 9th insts.
Our friends must not rest upon their oars, but
keep before them the fact that we have two par
ties in the field to fight, one Of which will bring
to bear the influence of the county government
and patronage. Our candidates are worthy Of
every eXertion and we should not leave gulch
or ravine uncanvassed.
The Democracy of the County are now acting
in committee of the whole. and each man should
labor as if the result depended upon his individ-
ual eXerton as indeed it may. Every man has
his influence. and let him set it at work, that sue
cess may be the more certain.

TEXAS. A dispatch from New Orleans,
dated Saturday, August 10th, says: The
Democrats have been completely triumphant
in Texas, carrying the State.
Miscellaneous.
DISASTROUS STORM AT THE SoUTH.-Ihe
storm of the 10th, 1lth and 18th of August
which visited New Orleans, was of the most
terrible character The most disasterous ef-
fects were felt at Summer Resort" a short
distance below New Orleans, which is repre-
sented to have had every house swept from
it, and to have been completely inundated.
Two hundred persons, it is estimated, lost
their lives on this Island.
A large fire occurred at Chicago on
"Wednesday night during the progress of
which the freight depots Of the Rock Island
and Michigan and Southern Railroad, con-
tanning numerous loaded cars, were totally
consumed. The total loss by the fire is es-
timated at from Sl5O,0O0 to 100000.
Europe.
The Baltic arrived on Sunday, the 18th
August, bringing Liverpool dates to the 9th
August. The most important feature of the
news is the surrender of Saragossa and the tri
umph of O'Donnel throughout Spain. The
Queens troops possessed themselves OF Sara
gossa without resistance, and forthwith disban-
ded the National Guards and the militia, and
installed a new municipality. A new gov
ernment had been named in Catalonia, and
the insurgents were rapidly dispensing. De-
tails of the fight at Barcelona confirm the
outrageous barbarty Of the Queens troops.
Three days after the fighting had ceased two
battaons of the National Guards, coming
to the help Of the citizens, were met by the
Royal Cavalry. and every man of them cut
to pieces. Seventeen insurrectionists had
been shot.
The English news is absolutely nothing.
FRIGHrFUL EARTHQUAKE AT THE MoLUccA
IsLAND,-An earthquake occurred at the
above island en- the I'd of March, by which
over twenty thousand persons were lost
The Island of A gofternato is in ruins. The
cities Of Sangier, Kanchan, Juruna, and sew

Eg" Judge Robinson ofSiskiyou, address
ed the keystone Club, in San Francisco and
announced himself as an old line Wing, but
the earnest advocate and devoted friend of
James Buchrnan and the Democracy. His
speech was able, pointed argumentative and
and conclusive lie averred that he stood
now where Henry Clay would stand were
that patriot still on earth, and that he was
a National Democrat in 1856, because he
was a National Wing in 1852"
Let no man mistake the signs of the times
such reasons as the judge advanced for his
political conduct are moving the "od lines
throughout the United States.

Republican County Nominations.

The decipIes of Fremont alias freedom
shriekers, held a county Convention for Pla-
Ger, at Yankee Jim's on the 18th and made
their nominations. We have not been able
to get all the names, but as far as we can
learn they are as follows: For Senate, G. J.
Hillyer; assembly VIM. ID. Lawrence, -
Burrows, -- Sheldon, - Bradley; Sheriff
Monroe Richardson's; Clerk, VIM Cory; Dis
t.ict Attorney +. B. Higgins: Treasurer, -
Mattron; Assessor, a. 2. Fray; Coroner
G. W. Towe
Mr.. llillver is young Lawyer of some
promise (what young lawyer is not,) has al
ways been considered a good abolitionst
but has never taken much part in politics
until last year, when he figured as zealou,
Know Nothing speaker In connection with
his education, his strong proclivity to isms,
Mr. Ii. is not considered out of place as.the
leader of the Black Republicans Of this coun
ty. He is very pleasant, inexperienced
young gentleman and plays good game Of
billiards.
The candidates for the Assembly are un-
known to fame except Wm ID. Lawrence,
who is at this time county supervisor. The
long wall of slavery has troubled their sleep
and they have come out to give one shrek
for freedom, when they will retire from the
stage.
The candidate for Sheriff lives at Clover
Valley, and being already in clover, the peo-
pie will not do him the injury Of taking him
away from his fodder.
Mr.. Cory was one Of the whig assembly
bo ,f
is of English birth, and educated near
Oberlin, Ohio; he is clever gentleman but
of very bad politics.
+. b. Higgins has never attempted to
practice law in this state and it is barely
possible he will not be troubled much labor
ing in the cause of the people as their attor-
ney.
SO far as we can learn every candidate
upon the ticket is from the Free States.
-. Here then is a sectional party organized
in our midst;-will any fair minded man
encourage such a move! We think not.

The news by the Sonora is satisfactory and
cheering We have heard much boastful talk
recently, from The $50 called" Americans, through
their newspapers, and from their speakers as to
the vote of the Southern States We were in
clined to concede to Mr. Fillmore three States in
the South; but the August elections proves that
he has not the slightest chance to carry even one.
In Missouri the Democrats were divided into the
Benton and Anti-Benton factions, yet have carri-
ed the State against the Fillmore party. When
united, as they will be in November, they will not
leave grease spot of the opposition.

Another Newspaper in the Field for Bu'
chanan and Breckenridge.

The Iowa Hill News, published in this
county, heretofore an independent paper, in
the last issue hoists the name of Buchanan
and Breckenridge. We find in the editorial
the following very satisfactory reasons given
for this course:
We can recognize but two parties in the
field, and we do honestly and conscientlously
believe that the perpetuity Of our glorious
Union depends upon the success OF the Dem
ocratic party. 'Tis true, remnant still re-
mains of an illiberal and proscriptive mess OF
political hucksters, but it is only remnant,
and can have but little influence in view of
the issues which present themselves before the
American people at this time. The strong
adherents to this horde. will doubtless leave
no stone unturned whereby to ride into pow
er, but in our opinion they had better hang
their rusty embems in the armory, for the
wars will now new burnsh them no more.
We stand before the public, the advocates
of Union and Democracy With Ashland's
sage, we can repeat 1--WE know no North,
we know no South, we know the Union only
and having openly avowed those principles,
which we conceive to involve questions of
the most vital moment to our country, we
unfurl our standard to the wind.

Unfnred prouder let it be.

The unterrified Democracy of the country,
convened at Cincinnati National Conven-
ton, composed of good and true delegates
from every State in the Union. They a.
dopted National Platform, and presented to
the American people the names Of JAMES
BUCHANAN and JoHN G. BRECKENRIDGE, as
our standard bearers.
Mr. Buchanan's long and brilliant career
in the service of his country for over forty
vears-frst member of his own State Leg
islature. then in Congress, next Minister
to Russia then a member of the Senate, then
a member of the Cabinet and next Minister
to the Court of st. James In short he has
given to the people of this country ample
proof of his patriotism, his attachment to the
Constitution of his country and the glorious
Union of these States, as it was handed down
to us from the immortal Washington.
Mr. Buchanan's speeches in Congress in the
Senate of the L. s.. show and prove as far
as it is possible for man to give evidence,
that he will know "no North, no South no
East, no West" but be emphaticaly the
President of free people.
We welcome the News nto the editorial
ranks as a co-laborer in the cause of the peo-
pie, truth and the Union, and we are certain
that before the ides of November roll round,
it will deal many hard blow to the enemy.
There is no patriotism in being at this time

every good citizen and let him take sides

become very enthusiastic in the Abolition
cause. We are informed that he took the
stump at Ophir some time since and deliver

toeschew politics and stick to his drugs.

have succeeded in electing their entire tick
ct.
IowA-There is no doubt about the elec
ton of both the Fremont candidates for Con
gress in Iowa. They are as follows: lst
District, S. r. Curtis; I'd District, Timothy
Davis. They are both new members.
ARKANsAs.-The two Democrats are cleo
ted to congress without doubt, although very
few returns have been yet received from the
State. The following are their names: lst
District, A. b. Greenwood; sd District, Ed
ward A. Warner.
KENrUcKY.-No figures given in the New
York Herald II Tribune. The Tribune says
Buchanan has achieved triumph.
NonrH CARoLrNA.-The Tribune says the
poll is the heaviest ever taken in the State.
The candidate for Governor and Legislature
run well together, and there is fearful
steadiness and eveness for the gains of the
Buchanan party. Half dozen counties, and
not more, are the conspicuous exceptions.
The majority in the Legislature, as well
as in governor is larger than any party has
had before in that State, within our remem-
brarce. There can no longer be reasona-
