The M,scaiIed MON Ticket.

We promised last week, to refer more al
length to the nominations made by the so called
Union Convention on Wednesday of last week.
We wish to state in advance, that we have no
personal war with the nominees. They are all
honorable men,. Most of them are Republi.
cans and personal friends. We may wonder
thai some of them, under the circumstances
should allow themselves to be made the cats
paws of ew INSCRIPTIONS democratic politi
Clans Disguise it as we may, it is nothing else
but that. These men know well, that on their
own strength and principles they have nothing
to hope for in this county. They refused to go
near, or have anything to do with a Republi>
can Union, Convention, because Union is not
what they want. DiSunion and distraction of
the friends of liberty and the Union, is what
they are after. In pursuance of this object,
they have made these nominations.
We regret that Republicans should lend
themselves TO this scheme a second time. They,
at least, know that there is no idea of Union in
the minds of the getters up of this false Union
Convention, any further than such Union can
be made to subserve the ends and aims of the
Democratic party. There is no denial or pre-
tence, even that this is not the case, with the
democratic managers. They are the men who
attended the late democratic State convention
at Milwaukee and voted for the adoption of the
yam Democratic Address. Several of the
nominees of this bogus Union convention, got
ten up by original Ryan Address democrats,
went into the Republican Convention and took
their chances for nomination. and some of
them came very near being nom mated, and if
they had been. none would have been louder
than they in condemnation of this very scheme
to which they now lend themselves such willing
instruments. We presume there are exceptions
to this. Indeed we have heard of one or two
of the candidates who have declared their in
tention to publicly repudate the nomination
aud have nothing to do with the disgraceful
scheme. They owe this to themselves. if not
to the party and the principles they have
hi therto professed to support
The only object democrats have in putting up
the ticket is of course to distract and divide Re-
publicans and this if possible to elect a demo-
Graf, TO the Assembly or one who will carry
out their object by voting for an anti war. an
decentralization Democrat for United States
Senator. That this is the plan, no one will
honestly or seriously deny We have not a
word to say against the personal character or
fitness of Mr.. French for the position TO which
he has been nominated But we know the men
who were instrumental ia giving hum this nom
! ination, are the men who voted for the Ryan
| Address, and who now make that address their
ext book and their creed--that address which
all loyal Democrats. no matter how bitterly
artisan they may have heretofore been. repu>
date and declare hostile and disoyal to the
cause of the Union and the Government.
We cannot but doubt the chosen repre-
ensative of such men. He must either
deceive those who nominate him. or else those
who vote tor him as the Union candidate, with
the expectation tina; he will by his votes in the
Assembly, sustain the, administration in this
war for the Union, the Constitution, and the
sacred cause of Human Rights and Free Gov
eminent.
| The balance of the ticket Is OF course put up
to be made subservient to the election OF Menu
Der of Assembly-a sort of stock in trade, to
operate upon. The Ryan Address Democrats
of course, do not expect or care for their cleo
ton. They are nearly all Republicans, and
their election or defeat is matter Of indiffer
ence to those who nominated them as long as
they answer the purpose of their nomina ton
to gain votes for their candidate for the Assem-,
bly,, and create discord and dissension in the
Republican ranks.
