The Union Caucus falling to agree upon q
nomination for United States Senator ct its
third meeting on Thursday night, resolved
TO postpone the nomination, until next win
ter. We regret exceedingly, that our Union
Senators and Representatives should have
thus got at variance, for the interests Of the
county demand, not only that the utmost
bzrmony should prevail iD our Union ranks,
but also, We think, that a Senator should
have been promptly put In nomination and
elected, whether the choice should have
fallen upon our faVorite, B. F. Wade, Oolum-
bus Delano or any other good man. As is
usual, in such cases, the nomination was
prevented by a small minority, who from
interested matiVeg vacillated from one can
dldaie to another, when by uniting either
on Wade or Delano a nomination could have
been made. Desiring an extra session, with
out voting directly for. it, they took this
course to accomplish that result. Let the
people Of such districts ss Cuyahoga, who
have been 30 grossly misrepresented in this
matter, give their Senators and Representa-
tiYes such emphatic Instructions, before the
meeting of the Extra Session, if one be held,
as will be likely to be needed by them, OF
effsetually Danish them from all public con-
sideratiOn in the futurs.-EHm County

there was council held on board the Pawnee

to disuade the members of the council from
committing the contemplated outrage; but
treachery and liquor were too much for him,
