EDIToRs CouRIER As your valuable d
has an extensive circulation in this county
knowing that you are desirous of obtaining
from any quarter, thought perhaps few il
from this place might be acceptable.
There are no very startling events to chr1
cle-no very interesting news-but on gen
principles give unto you such as there
Politics seems to be the all-absorbing topic BE-
as elsewhere, on the eve of an election. Th3
county is undergoing pretty severe canvass
the several candidates for Office The Dema-
cratic Convention has nominated very stronf
ticket-one which seems to be acceptable, no
only to the party, but to the people generally:
and the whole ticket from present indications
will be elected by handsome majority -
The grand fight IS for the Office of ~
an independent candidate TO- K. Johnson) is in
the field against Dennis Dunn, the present in
cumbent. Mr. johnson is very worthy Young
man, and is said to be the most popular oppo-
nent that could have been brought out against
the Democratic nominee. Mr.. Dunn has made
most faithful and efficient officer during the

promptly and impartially, with credit to himself
and to the entire satisfaction of the people of
this county Not one official act is shown where
he has come short of performing his duty. He
being the regular Democratic nominee. will be
elected by large majority.
The Republicans, or opponents Of Democracy.
have no organization or ticket in this county.
and even if they had, so true are the voters Of
this county to Democratic principles, that moth
ing short of defeat could possibly await them,
let them call themselves anti-Lecomptonites or
Black Republicans.
The names on the State Democratic ticket
give general satisfaction here. and will receive 4
hearty support. r. 7. Sprague would no doubt
have received the vote of this county in Con-
vention for Supreme Judge, bad he been can
didate. The action of the boilers and the Black
Republicans OF this State, and the latterfs ell
dorsement of the nominations made by the for
mer is proof positive that in the coming ipb,
the twain are of one flesh. Where two political
bodies or parties have for the basis of their doc
trine and creed but one set of PRINCIPLES. and
both acknowledge those principles as governing
their actions, they must inevitably become one
This being the case with the two parties refer
red to, the result is, as matter of course, one
brotherhood of those advocating the same prin-
ciples, and whose ambition it is to gain the su-
premacy by waging war upon, and overthrowing
the National Democratic party. This they can
never accomplish. There are sufficient numbers
of conservative, Union-loving men among the
old line Wing party, who will now join the
Democratic standard, to more than overbalance
those who have deserted us and gone overs along
that the true Democracy will still triumph,
and we have but to await the coming election
to prove it.
Local news is rather scarce here at present.
Business of all kinds is improving.
