We last week published the proceedings of
the Democratic County Convention, which
assembled in this place on the 80 ult :, and
placed at our mast head, the ticket which it
presented to the Democracy of the County,
for their suiragcs on the second Tuesday Of
next October, but had not then time to
make any comments with regard to the Con-
rcntion Oh its nominees. The Convention was
composed of good meu, who evidently had no
object in view but tho welfare aud harmony of
the party. Notwithstandingthe contest for
several Of the nolninationswas quite protract
cd AID animated. harmonyan good feeling
characterized the proceedings of the Conrcn'

and favorably known to the people of the
county. and We know they all respectively
combine the Jeffersian requisites for faithful
public servant, honesty and capacity.
Capt. GEORGE n. SMITH Of Jobnstown,
was placed in nomination on the first ballot

the fortunate man in the contest for the i'm
