OUR suNAroRzAa Mom1waz.

The following is copied from the ClrcleriUs
Herald, published at the place of Mr.. JOKES
residence previous to his return to our county.
The compliment paidhim is a high one, though
fully merited, as will be cheerfully testified by
all who know him, and especially by that por-
ton Of our citizens among and with whom he
spent his boyhood days and the first years of
his professional career:
A Coon NoMISATIoS.-T. c. JONES. Esq.
now Of Delaware county, so well known to the
people OF this county, on Saturday last, was
nominated for Senator in the District compo-
sad Of Delaware ard Licking. Mr.. Jones is,
OF course, Il staunetl Republican, is honest and
capable, and if elected, as he ought to be, and
as W. sincerely hope he will be, he will be an
ornament to the Senate, for to superior abili-
ties for the place, he adds sterling integrity
Indeed, there are men in high positions in the
government who have not qualification equal
to his.
If the people of that District want an able
and honest man to represent them, they viii
elect him to the Senate.
At the same time Presley n. O'Bannon, Of
Licking Co, was nominated for Board Of
Equalization. This was another nomination
eminently fit to be made, for Mr.. O'Bannon is
fitted for the place. He is u clear headed man.
and possesses the right sort of qualifications
tor the place We speak from a knowledge of
him, for We have known him personally and by
reputation, from our boyhood. He ought to be
elected.
We add also a similar notice from the Ot.o
Farmer, a paper devoted to Agriculture, and
of course neutral as regards political questions.
1t must be viewed as a tribute to the man
rather than the politician, and as such cannot
tail to be properly appreciated by the voters of
our county, who we trust and believe will make
certain what friend BRowN only regards as
probahle-his election "by a large majority -
if possible, but at any rate by a majority that
will be decisive and satisfactory:
SENATOR JoNEs.-Our excellent correspon-
dent and friend, Thomas C.. Jones, of Delaware.
o., has been nominated for the State Senate.
to represent the counties of Licking and Della
ware. He will probably be elected by a large
majority.
We copy further from the Newark North
american, the Republic an organ in Licking
county:
SENATORIAL. CoNvESTIoN.-The Republican
Senatorial Convention to nominate a Senator.
composed of Delaware and Licking, met at
Sunbury on Friday last We understand that
both counties were fully represented and that
THOMAS G. JONES, of Delaware. was NOM
mated by the unanimous vote of the copyen-
ton. The nominee is thus described in a letter
which we find in the State Journal
Mr.. Jones is of Welsh extraction, former
" a lawyer, but now a farmer, President of the
Delaware County Agricultural Society a man
of unsullied character and high abilities, a man
of the people, who has by his unaided industry
and virtue won his way up from proverty and
ohscurity to competence and distinction. His
over Mr.. Reid is certain by 300 or 400
majority"
The convention also nominated a member of
The Board of Equalization. This is a very i'm {
