COUNTY COMMISSIONERS seems un-
clerstood that Judge Goodhue of Westmins-
ter, is TO be reelected as County Commits
sioner. He seems to have performed his
duties 10 the very general satisfaction of
the County, and it is not probable that he
will meet with serious opposition. In this
connection, however, we desire to say that
at a late day last year, secret attempt was
made TO defeat him, by running an undis-
guised secessionist against him-one who
has two sons in the rebel army, and as we
are informed, naturally belongs there him
self This is not political Office, and we
would as soon vote for good democrat as
republican, but We do not believe in elect
ing an undisguised sympathizer with trea-
son to any Office whatever.
