The Unlen Ticket.

The True Democrat is considerably exer
cised over the result of the election in this
county. Itaccuses the Democrats Of bad
faith in the weak support given by our
party to the Union ticket. or We might more
truly say the politicians ticket. g
The following are itsremarks on the
subject:
= ''In this county the Democratic Execui
tive Committee at first declined joining .
Union movement, but afterwards being con
WINGED, as they alleged. that the Republi-
cans acted iD GOOD faith in making the
proposition, majority of tho committee
:ook an active part in the movement-one
of them being candidate for nomination
and another an active delegate and officer
OF the Convention. Yet, Notwithstanding
the lions share on the Union ticket was
conceded to the Democracy, although IN
the minority in the county, with compara-
lively few honorable exceptions, they re-
pudated the Republicans on the Union
ticket wherever there was an opposing can
didate in the field; and in the town of
Lockport the majority of the party scratch
ed' the name of Mr.. Childs, simply because
he was Republican, although there was
no candidate against him."
Now, we would simply inform cur neigh
Dor, that if things have not transpired just
to his liking, no schemes or plans on the
part of the leaders of his party could have
made it otherwise. The people of Will
county were resolved that F. Goodspeed
should 60 to our constitutional convention
and that William Tonner should be re-
elected County Clerk and Benjamin Rich
ardson County Treasurer, and hence itwu:
not in the power of conventions or caucuses
to defeat them The Republican leader
knew this, and they graciously placed
Messrs. Goodspeed and Tonner on thei
ticket, but made their utmost efforts TO de
feat Mr.. Richardson. Mr.. Richardson
however was elected, proving the truth 0
what we have said. So much for tn
'lion's share on the Union ticket" whicl
the True Democrat contends was "concede'
to the Democracy"
In reference to the obligations OF th
Democracy OF this county, and OF Lockpor
particularly. to sustain the Union tieket
we will say that there were nothing Of tn
kind. 1t is true several Democrats too
part in the convention, but that did nc
bind the party to their action. Doubles
those who participated In tue nominatio
of the Union ticket supported its candidate
in good faith. This was right But tht
any considerable portion of the Democrat
of Will county ever pledged themselves {
held out encouragement to the getters u
of the new party movement, is far from til
fact. The Democracy of this county hay
not abandoned their organization. Thong
:, they made no party nominations at the la
. election, at the proper period they will
found in the field with sufficient strengt
I to carry the Gay. The new party humbu
has been played out.

Ea' Gen Hunter has repudated the late
treaty agreed upon by Price and Fremont.
The treaty provided that, in future, arrests
or forcible interference by armed or unarm.
ed parties of citizens within the limits of
Missouri, for the mere entertainment or
expression of political opinions, should
cease that families now broken up for
such causes may be reunited and that the
war now progressing should be exclusively
confined to armies in the field. We cam
not see how the Uuion cause could have
been damaged by recognizing this treaty.
