County Ticket.

On Saturday last, the Republicans and op-
uonents Of the Pierce and Buchanan slave dy-
nasty. placed in nomination Mr.. Jacob Strayer,
Of Harrison township. for County Commission
er. Mr.. strayer has served in that capacity
one year and has fully sustained the JeffersO-
pian test Of honesty. efficiency and capability.
This nomination, or rather denomination was
expected, and lacked but confirmation, which
was done without ons dissenting voice. He
had no opponent on that day and will scarcely
have any on the second Tuesday of October
next. The people have already reelected
him, and he now only needs await the election
day for the deposit oftheir votes ratifying their
resolves. Mr.. StraYer was Gen, Pierce man
and voted for him for President, but will now
vote against the further extension of that Bu-
chanan institution, by voting for Free Terrific
~. Free Men and Fremont. There are hun
dreds of heretofore Pierce men in "Little Car.
roll" who have resolved to ''go and do like
wise, Mr.. James Patton, of the "Patton
House" was nominated on first ballot, for the
office of Coroner, without opppOstiOn, there
being no other candidate. Mr.. Patton is COM
petent and will make good officer, provided
always that there should be something to do"
in his official capacity. There has not been
much need for this officer in this county du-
ring the last ten years. Mr.. William Nivin'
Of Union township. was re-nominated on first
ballot, for In6rmary Director. Mr.. Niyin is a
good man for the place and has served Que
term houOrAbly for himself and to the advsn
taee Of his constituents, and of course will bt
elected as will the balance Of the ticket.
