Cnndidate for senator.

The Senatorial Convention which met at
Clyde on the 19tb, nominated JOHN KEEL
LEY of Ottowa county for the State Senate.
The contest for nomination we understand
to have been quite spirited, but resulted in
the selection of Mr.. Kelley. We believe
the nomination is eminently good onc.-
Mr.. Kelley is an old residenter, long and fa-
vorably known as a man of intelligence, in
tegrity and all sterling qualities, He is a
resident of Danbury township, farmer in
easy circumstances, and will make an eff
cient, industrious and competent legislator.
One of the people himself, he will well and
fitly represent them in the Senate.
His patriotism and loyalty are beyond
question, and are of course undoubted by
any body. The Union men of this Sena
torial District, we believe, can most safely
trust their interests in his hands.-Register
The Union candidate for Representative
is ALoNzo THORPE of Clyde, an old demo
crat. The Union men of Sandusky county
should bear in miEd that the interests of ou
State demand that Mr.. KELLEY and Mr.
THORPE should both be elected. The Mes
seuger opposes them both, because the,
willoppose every species ofcompromise witt
Southern rebels and traitors.

UNION PLATFORM.

Resotved, That the present deplorable civil
war has been forced upon the country by the
disunionists of the Southern States now in re-
volt against the Constitutional Government, and
in arms around the Capital.
That in this national emergency we Danish all
feeling of mere passion or resentment, will re-
collect only our duty to the whole country; that
this war was not waged on our part in any spir-
it of oppression, nor for any purpose of con-
quest or subjugation, nor for the purpose of
overthrowing or interfering with the rights or
established institutions ofthe States; but to de-
fend and maintain the supremacy of the Con-
stituton, and to preserve the Union, with all the
dignity, equality and rights of the several
States unimpaired; and as soon as these objects
are accomplished, the war ought to cease.
Resoleea In the language of the Hon. Joseph
Holt, we are @for the Union without conditions,
one and indivisible, now and forever; for its
preservation at any and every cost of blood and
treasure; against all its assailants; and against
any and every compromise that may bepropos-
ed under the guns of the Rebels. .

There is not man at the South, who is not a

success Of the Democratic ticket in Ohio OF
New York would have more disbeartening ef

would the taking of Washington by Beauregard.

on their way to Lexington TO reinforce Mul-
tigan. They suddenly and unexpectedly
came upon body of 1000 rebels at Blue
Mills, Mo-, when a battle commenced and
continued one hour and a-half and when the
Iowa regiment was about to retire, the reb-
els retreated aud crossed the river just in
time to fall into tho hands of Lanes brig
ade, 1000 strong, who were also marching
to reinforce Muligan.
The Unionists captured 700 or 900 and
killed 200. The rebels fed and re crossed
the river, when the Iowa regiment started

troops lost 10 killed and 80 wounded.

A special despatch to the Tribune from
the head quarters at st. Louis this evening
says that the surrender of Mulligan is moi
believed there; that reinforcements were
pushing toward him from four directions.

was pened and published by the Government

The communication having come to the atten-

the following statement, which is a complete
refutation of the charges, and places Bean in
no enviable position:
"The undersigned, members Of the Irish Cath.

candidate for Auditor, with having attended OF

fluence, take this method of doing justice tr Mr.
Ball to say that such charge is untrue, and we
are able to state positively that Mr.. Ball did
not attend the Irish Catholic Church on that day
We further wish to repel the imputation-foI
such we regard it-that a catholic can be indu-
