CONGREGATIONAL nominations.

The Republicans Of the Third Congressional
District have nominated the Hon. W. MoKEE
Dunn for reelection TO Congress. Mr.. Dunn is
a gentleman of fair ability. His Congressional
career is only distinguished for conservative
speeches and radical votes.
In the Tenth District the same party has placed
Hon. W. MITCHELL again upon the track. The
Fort Wayne Sentinel in noticing this nomination
says:
Mr. Mitchell is a decidedly small pattern. has
voted generally with the ultra wing OF his party
and is altogether an unfit man to represent the
district at time like this. Opposed TO him we
have dominated j. K Edgerton, sound states
man of liberal, conservative views and OF ability
second to no man in the State. We call upon
the voters of the district to lay aside party preu
dices rally to the support of the Constitution and
the Union, elect Mr. Edgerton to the next Con-
eress and thereby rebuke the fell spirit of Sec
tionaiism which has plunged the country into its
present difficulties. Between two such candida
dates what patriot, what lover of peace and Union

Another Specimen Os ssNo-Partyism. >,
Over in the Quaker District the Republicans
are having fierce party contest within their own
organization. They are divided into JULIAN and
anti-JULIAN factions, aud each charges the other
with all sorts ofrascaity in the elections through
out tie district held to decide upon the nominee
for Congress. In the last number of the Rich
mond Palladium, the MORTON and anti-J ULIAN
organ. we find the following:
GREAT RAscALITY-THE JULIAN SwNDLEl-
We learn that throughout this Congressional
District that the returns of the election, will give
Mr. Julian some three or four hundred majority.
great proportion of this is said to be the result
of gross frauds Dractised in the townships. Even
at the public meetings in the county, at Dublin
and other points, the Julianites have insinuated
themselves into, and broken up public meetings
In Wayne for instance, more than fifty good
Union men were driven from the polls; in Frank
lin the same thing was attempted with partial
success; and in Harrison an effort was made Tor
the same thing but was summarily defeated.
The latest specimens of rascality is detailed in
the following protest which we clip from the New
Castle Courier, and which is signed by prominent
and responsible men: Read
A REMONsrRANcE.
MIDDLETowN, Ind, Aug. 9. ls62-This is to
certify that some FIVE or six of George W.
Julianfs friends took possession of the polls at
this place, and notwithstanding the most urgent
protests of B. b. Murphey and Others, they
refused to divide the Board with the anti
Julian men. We, as Union men, irrespective of
party, considered it usurpation, and refused TO
vote.
Upon which the Palladium remarks:
Was ever such piece of precious rascality?
Will the honest, sensible men of Wayne county
of this Congressional District, submit to such
base imposition:
Here is one-half of the Republican party in
the very moral Fifth District charging the other
half with committing gross frauds, and the
other retorts with charges of similar rascaities.
If they will swndle each other, can any doubt
but they will practice frauds upon their political
opponents? And these exhibitions Of no-party-
ism come from men who daily have proclaimed
that he who will not surrender party in the pre-
sent crisis OF the country is no patriot, and yet
with these words upon their lips they are engaged
in miserable squabble over the nomination of a
candidate for Congress. The Republican profess
sions Of 10 paFtyism is only another illustration
of the fable of the wolf in sleeps clothing.
