REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
The Republican County Convention which
met at this place on Monday last, after nom-
mating temporary chairman, retired for Sc
cret consultation in the Grand Jury Room
After which they came forth with very hon
est faces and in the day light went over the
ceremony again of eecting Jacob Kenney
President, and E. Frear and G. ii. Loomis
Secretarys, under the admirable (?) manage
ment of the Rev. Jakey, the business was
commenced at the head, tail, and middle all
at the same time, and was finally gone through
with.
We give below the result of the internal
labors of this ponderous convention, and of
its preponderous president.
PRESIDENT JUDGE.
Knowing that there was not a shadow ofa
chance to elect a President Judge by them
in this district, they very Periodically CD
concurred in the nomination Of VIM. Elwell.
the democratic candidate for that office, be-
ing the same gentleman that Gov. Curtin re-
fused to appoint last year, " because he was
Democrat"
Queere: If Mr.. EIweIl had been candi-
date for congress, would they have so far 20 for
gotten party" as to have concurred in his
nomination
CONGRESS.
Geo. Landon, had the wires all in his own
hands, but as an ingenious political dodge,
Peter NJ. Osterhout Esq. was put up very
much as farmer sets up straw man, -
to deceive the crows. The conferces appoint.
ed for him will no doubt cast their votes for,
and place Tonnage tax swlndle" "-George, in
nomination,
STATE SENATOR.
Benz. Hall received the nomination as a
compliment, Bradford and Susauehanna
Counties having previously arranged that
matter between them. Mr. Hall will see his
name in the papers for week or two in close
proximity to the words Estate Senator"
and there his honors will end.
REPRESENTATIVE.
Rev. jacob Kennedy, a ranting abolition
preacher, floDg standing, short breath, and
round belly, was put ia nomination as com
pliment, for the admirable manner in which
he presided over the Conv ention. Jakey will
scowl and sweat, and fume, and sputter abo-
lltionism long time before his rotund figure
will find resting place in the house of Rep
resentatives.

tirn for County tfIices.

these men more particularly hereafter mean
while we hope they viii be content by sim
pie publication OF their names.
THE FINALE
As grand finale to their Republican Alb
oiition pow WOW, Tonnage Tax Laudon made
an out and out abolition speech, in which his
puppets were told to stand up and declare
themselves for the niger, the whole nigger,
and nothing but the niger. He argued, it
was too late to disguise the fact that they
were for that individual, and nobody else
Fremont had come out, Hunter had come
out, and he endorsed and applauded their
course.
! This abolition harrangue was received
throughout with very decided demonstrations
ofapproval by his abolition friends. We
shall probably give more extended notice OF
this speech hereafter.
A PREDICTION VERIFIED-Danel Web
stcr once said g If the Abolitionists ever
get power in their hands, they will override
the Constitution, set the Supreme Court at
defiance, change and make laws to suit them
selves, lay violent hands on those who differ
with them in their opinions or dare to ques-
tion their infalibility; and finally bankrupt
the country and deluge it with blood" How
has this prediction been verified
