Thus /. will be seen that the Democratic
party was treated literally, having received
all the nominations but one. From the
looks of this ticket the Union stock IN the
Republican party must have been rather
scarce. on last Saturday. They have here
,ofore claimed to be the Uuion party, bnt
whea. the time arrives TO irot out their men
for Office, they take up Democrats The
Democratic party, we have sad and We re
peat it, is and always has been Union
party, andihe fact that the Republican party
creep into our ranks for material TO form a
ticket, goes to strengthen our declaration.
They would not trust Republican TO be
placed on their ticket for any prominent
position, and why Was it because they
were not good Union men, z We will leave
our readers 10 form their own conclusions
onthis matter.
-Afier The ticket was fully formed and
agrsed upon, on motion Of Geo w. Lott oil
0rangeville, Robert F. Clark, Esq, made a
few fine remarks in relation to each man on
the ticket. Previous TO his bes:owing this
eulogy upon the ticket, however he was
sent for to address the Convention, which
he did at nearly an hours length. In the
course of his very carfuIIy worded remarks
he referred 10 the Democratic Convention
which assembled in This place not long
since, by saying that, that body was com
posed of the fragments of the Democratic
parry, aud that he knew hundreds of demo
crars who would not vote for the ticket as
formed by that Convention. The speaker
was rather severe upon the Democrats ir
several instances in the course of his re,
marks.
This Convention speaking honestly was
largely attended great many men hav
ing been brought there out of cuIiosiiy.-
There were several townships, we are in
formed, that were not represented, but the
overplus in many the other districts serv
ed TO make up the vacancy.
The nominations wers all made withou
opposition with the exceptions Of one
That one was the nomination of SiePher
Baidy for Judge Several prominent met
in the Convention strongly opposed ih
nomination, on the ground that he was no
a sound Union man-ihat he had attended

not able 10 subz,antiaie, and finally uPol

disgust of his opponents
All business before the Convention beini
