The County Convention.

The interest manifesto in regard to the
result of the County and District nomina.
tons last Monday, was of itself very
sufficient guarantee tha, the best men would
be selected by the Aelegatcs. for the several
Offices about to be filed this fall. There
has seldom happened convention, which,
with such intense feelings passed off so
quietly, happily, and satisfactorily. When
the nominations were once announced, there
was no grumbling and no apparent dissatis-
faction. Even the defeated candidates,
with, we believe, one exception, went home
reconcilcd to their fate; and all of them
determined to supporttho ticket just formed,
warmly aud to the best of their abilities.
1t is spirit We are glad to see. The
time to fight aman is before the nomination,
that is the right Of every freeman; but
after party endorsement there should be
no mutiny in the camp. We were glad,
we say, therefore, to observe that every
man Went home with the settled purpose to
put the ticket just nominated at least
fifteen hundred ahead of anything else in
the field.
