EDITOR DEMOCRAT Since the termination
of the above packed affair, held at Long Bar
on the 18th inst, great deal of speculation
has been INDUCED in, in this region, as to the
merits of the respective candidates sent be-
fore the people for endorsement at the next
election. The question is asked by many,
viii the ticket be supported 10y its own
party? 1t is asked by men who before this,
were never known to doubt the purity of
Conventions, nor to falter in their unwaver-
ing support of the party. But the class of
people | allude to, have been Indignantly
spurned and insulted at that ingorious Con
vention, by the rejection of both their coun-
try men who asked for nominations. Imean
John Flattery and Hugh Shirkand two men
who have been always zealously working for
the benefit of that same party who did so
openly insult them and their friends, on Sat.
urdav last, and men who have done more for
the success Of the party, than any two men
now nominated. But they and their friends
have one consolation They must recolect
that the Convention was chiefly composed of
their old enemies from the Know Nothing
ranks, and consequently ought not to expect
anything Tut defeat at their hands. But
hope they. as people, will remember the
insult n election day, and show by their acts
to the people of this county, that they are
not the passive and obedient subjects that
will be satisfied with the acts of a swindling
Convention The Irish influence in this coun-
ty is said by good authority to DO 1000 votes
If this is so, land have very little doubt of
the truth ofit) they were at least entitled to
have Mr. Flattery nominated after the defeat
Of Mr.. Shirkland. But the NatyVe family
were too hungry for the spoils and told them
plainly that they were know Nothings, bear
lug the name of &c win Dodgers" and that
they could not have anything at their hands,
and that they had better leave the way and
go where they belonged because they did
not like them anyhow. They told them
plainly that they were things to be used,
only about election times, and that when
they came to use them any, they could not
stand it, and if they did not keep on working
for them, and submit to their will that they
would be friends to them no longer. But,
hope the scales have fallen from the evee Of
the Irish people, and that they begin TO COM
prehend their true position in this county,
and that they will act accordingly, and tell
those Administration office seeking beggars,
tchen they go to see them during the canvass,
that they are no longer to be gulled by any
such demonstrations of friendship as "IIow do
You dew, and when did yeou come deown,"
but that they have resolved to befriend them.
selves in the future and steer clear of such
hypocrites, and that they no longer wish to
have their hands shaken for five minutes at
time, by any such abject and pitiful poll
ticians.
Altogether, that ticket is splendid affair,
and as good as the Douglas party can wish
it. All that were not Know Nothings, were
"bolters" in SO, and d-nd the stump orator
in the crowd, except Ben. p Hugg and j. NJ.

OF the Peace of Fosters Bar township, and
finally Associate Justice in Marysville.

at some future day, write more in full of the
whole ticket. know thing or two" about

in this, as debating to any set of men, but
merely express my ideas with the hope that
others will coincide, and take the sams view
