UNION STATE TICKET.
Our Ticket.

It's all right, and here we might stop but
prefer to add that it is certain of an election
it can't be beaten by anything in the shape
of New York riot, anti-war-c
Vallandigham Peace Democrat in Musca,ine
county.
Hon. JOHN A. PARv1N, our nominee for
Senator, is an old residcnt-an ardent friend
of the Administrations true and tried friend
Of patriotism experienced legislator-and a
special "pet' with the Muscatine Courier
We predict right here, that the Courier will
charge Mr.. Parvln with being standing can
didate for Office, &c, &c. We shall knock
that choice persimmon, by saying that up to
the hour of the meeting Of the Convention
no man supposed there was vacant seat in
the Senate from this county, in point Of fact,
much less did they expect to nominate
candidate for Senator Mr.. Parvin was and
still is absent from the State on visit to New
Jersey, but no sooner was his name an
nounced than it was received with applause
and reclamation. Without dissenting voice
he was declared the unanimous nominee for
State Senator. Faithful, tried, able, honest
he will be elected.
For Representatives, JACOB BUTLER and
SAMUEL McNurr are our candidates. Mr..
Buffers consummate ability and fitness Tor the
position render him a popular candidate. As
lawyer he has no superior in this judicial
district-as scholar and an orator he stands
prominently high. One of the highest COM
mendations We can grant Mr.. Butler is the
fact that the Copperheads-w mean the
pure, unadulteratcd, anti-peace rebel sympa-
thizers-will pursue him from this to election
with the most malignant hate and frenzied
ferocity imaginable. He will be a target at
which every Shiny reptile of the Copper spe-
cies will hiss and rattle. No lie will be too
barefaced to be used. He will be called
an abolitionist-but not half as mean
one as Sam McNutt, the renegade
Democrat" Mr.. McNutt has never been
identified with any other save the Democratic
party. Formerly connected with the Dubuque
Herald, it was only when Mahony went with
the South in rebellion, that he cut loose from a
once honored party, now corrupted with trea-
son. Having severed his newspaper connec
ton with Mahoney, after the fall of Sumter,
he gathered up his battle-axe, and as editor
of the Dubuque onion, did much to paralyze
Mr.. Mahoney's disunion efforts. He insists
upon being regarded as Democrat, and we
believe he is-but an earnest War Democrat
of the Douglas wing. But in the eyes of the
Coppers he is an ABOLITION Every
thing is such that isn't Copperhead in their
eyes. The county was never better repre-
scented than it will be in the next House by
Messrs. Butler and McNutt.
The present County officers were re NOM
mated by acclammation, except Mr.. Morford
who was superseded by James Beaham.
Of Mr.. CARsKADDAN, as County Judge, of
H. H. HINE, as Sheriff, and honest old BRIN.
TON DARLINGTON as Treasurer, we need say
nothing All that we said year ago we now
reiterate with emphasis. They have faithful
ness, honesty and energy, which conf1 inns all
that we then wrote. They are well known
to every citizen of the county, and will be
triumphantly elected.
Who couldn't be on such platform as was
adopted? Fools and tories must be in the
ascendency or else many must be blind to the
best interest of the country to endorse any
other platform. 1t has the ring Of the true
metal-awakens warm response from patriot
hearts-it is full, frank and contains no gilt
tering generalities." Its language conveys the
proper meaning and means just what it says.
Patriots at home who have had large amounts
of stock in this war in the shape of sons, broth
ers, fathers and friends, will endorse the plat
form by voting the ticket at its head. Pa.
triots in the field will find in it token Of
friendship-they too will endorse it.
The ticket is yours, fellow Unionists. Work
for it faithfully. Let no man rest until his
efforts in it's behalf are crowned with sue
cess. The men are right-tbe principles are
just and true-close up the column, and for
ward upon the enemy s works Every Union.

The Courier of Tuesday evening contains Le'
Grand Byington's last circular to the Demo-
cratic party-being No. 8 Of the regular
series. Business calls him from home about
the 25th inst, and directs that "all commu.
nications, verbal or written, EXCEPT FOR THE
TRANSMISSION OF MONEY, will. after that date,
be made either to P. NJ. Cassidy, Esq, at
DesMoines, Stilson Hutchins, at Dubuque, or
E. L. Burton, at Ottumwa."
