THE UNION CANDIDATES.

|
Perhaps no Convention ever held 10 Nor
cumberland county has presented a stronger
ticket than the Union ticket formed on
M onday last. The Convention, itself, which
was full, must have struck all acquainted with
the individuals composing il, as one Of the
most respectable and intelligent bodies OF the
kind ever held 10 this county. 1t was con-
posed principally OF solid. substantial business
meu-farmers, mechanics. and others
of character and standing. ln the formation
Of the ticket, political wire workers and
scbenDg politicians we're not consulted, but
most Of the men selected to till the Offices
we're constrained to accept against their own
wishes, ss sense OF duty.
1t is we'll known that Z. Y. Bright, ESQ.,
who is our candidate for Assembly, bad long
since retired from political life, so far as Office
was concerned, but all loyal Union men,
Democrats and Republicans, coucurred that
he was the man for the times. His enter
prise, business habits and experience in
Legislative matters, induced his friends Of all
parties to insist upon bis nomination. That
he csn be, and will be elected, is already q
Fixed fact.
For President Judge, Hon. j. w. May.
nard Of Lycoming, highly competent map,
was nominated.
For Associate judges oseph Nicely and
William Deppiu, Esqrs., were selected. We
need not say to those who know these men,
that q better selection could not have been
made. Joseph Nicely is an intelligent and
respectable farmer, OF Delaware township
was. at one time, County Commissioner, an
office which be filled with signal ability. No
one will question his fitness for the Office.
William Deppin is we'll known throughout
the county, but particularly ID the lower end
In the Mahanoys bis name is familiar to every
man, woman and child, and it will 60 hard
for any of his Mahanoy friends to vote against
him. Mr.. Deppin is modest, liberal minded
man, in politics o Republican. He has beer
| q merchant and Post Master at Mahanoy fol
more than twenty years, but within the las
few years has resided in Treyorton. Billy
Deppin cannot be beat.
For Register & Recorder, DR.. j. B. Masser
the present ipcubent, was selected. Having
filed that Office one term to the entire salts
faction Of the Bar and all who have had bust
ness 10 the same, there was no reason why h,
should be removed. The fact that he wa
previously defeated for nomination by tn
Breckinrdge faction, should operate in hi
favor, as the opposition to him was cause
solely because be was Union Douglas Demo
crat, and refused to commit himself TO thei
measures.
For Commissioner, Mr.. George Chrstmar
of Turbutvile, has been nominated. MI
Christman is said to be a worthy and compe
tent man. and comes before the people We
recommended by bis neighbors.
For Treasurer, Joseph Vaukirk, Of Poin
has been selected. Mr. Vankirk is en indus
trous farmer, active. and Of good bushes
habits. Those who know him best, say b
will make On excellent officer.
For Auditor. Isaac Fl. Ressler, of George
town received the unanimous vote of the Cor
veutiou. Esquire Ressler is a competent an
worthy man, aud bis vote in the Aahanoy
will show that be 10 appreciated at home.
