Our County Election.

We are heartily glad to see the Republic
ans of the county IN owing in the matter of
township nominations. Our earnest advice
to them is to nominate straight Republican
tickets in every township. The most i'm
portant office in this county is to be filled at
the township elections. We cannot exag.
gerate the Importance of the Office Of Super
visors to this county. A system of county
management has most wisely just been
ended in this State which was withou. q
parallel, We believe, in any other State, for
the open invitations which it extended to
the county officers to steal, plumber and
mismanage at will. A more despotic, ire
sponslble board of public officers never were
created by any sensible people than the
County Judges, Treasurers and Clerks of
this State under the old law. They handled
all the monies of the county. They levied
the taxes. They collected all the fees, and
they rendered no account to any one Of all
the large amounts of principal and interest
which flowed through or at least into their
pockets. They were the only board Of off,
GERS of whom we have ever heard who spent
the public money and audited their own
accounts. Now, for the irst time, has the
Legislature provided for the election Of a
board of officers who shall look into the
accounts OF these gentlemen all over the
State. Who can find fault with this? Not
the people, to be sure Now, then, Repub-
licans, see to it that good, capable bust ness
men, and staunch, faithful Republicans are
nominated and elected to this Office.
We have one more word of caution :
Watch the movements Of the leaders Of the
Court House party, and be on your guard
as to their recommendations in your nomi
nations

DOUGLAS AND BRoDERrcK- The San Fran
cisco Times, in speaking of the canvass Of
1858 in California, says:
during that canvass, Broderlck we'll
understood Douglas He expected neither
aid nor comfort from him. Though he did
not denounce him for his treachery to him in
public, yet in private he denounced him in
terms such as only he could use. He called
him treacherous, vascillating and weak. He
told them how near the weak-kne bobtail
was to going over to the support of the English
bin, abandoni G his friends and all they had
been contending for. Many men in his State
have heard him tell how he made the quivering
demagogue quail before him in that famous
anti Lecompton caucus, when he told him
that, if he betrayed them, he would denounce
him in his seat, and put burning brand of
disgrace upon him. 'Ay,' said he, to use his
own words, mad he done it, would have
made him crawl under bis chai;,' This prompt
action of Broderck inundated Douglas, and
saved him from disgrace. He voted against
the English swindle, and by that means
saved himself at home"
