The County Convention

We publish ia another place, the official Re-
port Of proceedings of the r publican County
Convention held on Monday lass, The Ticket
nominated will be fJuni under our editorial
head. We were present at this Convention
and we must say, we have seldom attended .
more harmonious Convention, or one whore a
better feeling or more unanimity prevailed
The entire business of the convention was com
pleted in but little over an hours time. Every
nomination was declared unanimous by full
vote, and the resolutions were adopted without
a dissenting voice.
A little pleasant sparring about the division
OF patronage between city and country took
place, as usual, but nothing serious. The d.
vision of the Offices is probably as nearly equal
as it could well be made, and We are happy to
say there is no occasion for hard feelings Or
division of sentiment on this account. We have
only time this week to say that the candle
dates are all well known, and we believe we III
qualified for the several positions for which
they have been nominated. The nominee for
member of assembly was q candidate for the
the union game of the Democracy, aided by
few dissatisfied Republicans, and a few. Droba-
bly, who went into the Union scheme honestly
and were sold innocently. All such We're full
ly satisfied, we believe, ard will not suffer them
selves to be sold second time
Aiterthe nominations We're made, a few shor,
and pertinent speeches were made r. G. |
MCCLELLAN spoke briefly, as to the necessity
and the duty of Republicans to stand by the
nominations of the convention
Mr. Hatch made few remarks. He said he
had come to the convention with no thought or
expectation of the nomination with which he
had been honored. His love of the Union and
his anxiety for the success of the Union cause
was superior to any personal ambition, and he
would not stand in the way Of that success
He had no personal ends TO accomplish, and be
would far sooner decline the nomination than
De the cause of any hard feelings, Or the coca
ion of any movement that looked to divis-
on of the Republican strength which would en-
LANCER the success of the ticket.
Hon. II. S, THoRP made short speech to
he me effect He adverted to the election last
all, wherein vel like the Republicans in sever
j other counties oftho State, allowed ourselves
o be sold by the hollow professions and mock
of the Democracy. He thought we
hould learn wisdom from experience, and NOT
uffar ourselves to be drawn into tho same error
second time.
Judge Jilsun followed with short but eo-
uent and pertinent speech, pIedging himself
0 the support of the whole ticket. Although
e had believed that the candidate for the
assembly should have come from the city. yer
e had no personal feelings in the matter. He
hank d the convention for the votes they had
wen him and the confidence and good will :
hose votes expressed tor him. He thought
there ever was time when il was necessary
" the friends of the Union to stand fast and ,
FORK together for principles and moi for place,
nat time was R0ao. il
The convention adjourned with, apparently,
lie best feeling and the firm determination 10
