OUR COUNTY TICKET.


The want Of space has heretofore forbid
ary reference to the nominations made at
the Primary Election held on the 9th
ult., further than the simple announce
ment of the result.
TO those who are not personally ac-
Quainted with the several gentlemen thus
nominated, it may be interesting for them
TO know that they all belong TO the
Younger class of en-.at least that each
cne of them is young enough to be can
didate for a place in Lincoln's army OF
conscripts TO wage the present war until
the South shall agree to an abandonment
of slavery" We say they are not too old
for such service; but we are not to be un-
derstood as intimating the slightest in
clination or willingness, under any cir
cumstances, on their part, to enter such
service. On the contrary, it is our DELHI
crate opinion that they are all too patriot
ic, and have Too much veneration for the
great work of their foreGathers, TO take a
hand in any such work Of national sui
eide. But TO the men.
DR.. BOYER is too we'll and favorably
known to require word from US. The
; fact that he is now the choice Of the De-
mocracy of this county FOR the fourth or
| fifth time-and generally without opposi-
t tion-attests the estimation in which he
: is held by his fellow citizens. 1t is dis
tinction that no other man can boast Of
g Should he receive the District nomination
, he will be supported with similar unanim'
ity at the October election, and will nc

correct and wel-established moral habits
o and of the sourdest political faith. Should

WM. NJ. McCuLLoUGu, the nominee fol
District Attorney, is well known as a gen
tleman of rare ability, of strict integrity
and an ardent Democrat Although
is amorg the youngest members, he ranks
is well at the Bar, and as the Common
a wealth's attorney and advocate, will &C
!, quit himself in a manner that will be boil
v creditable and advantageous 10 the public
For County Commissioner, in CoNRAI
a BAKER, of Knox township, as the candi
date, the Democracy presents gentleman
+ worthy of the highest confidence. The
n Office of County Commissioner has sud
denly grown TO be one of tue most impor
g tant connected with county affairs, requir
Il ing business capacity, but more especially
:, integrity and firmness Taxes are unpre
!, cedentedly high ulready-all caused by
i i the war to compel the South to "abandor
s slavery"-but unless the people are spe
s clally careful in the selection Of thei
: financial agents, their condition will yer,
soon be hopeless. Mr.. BAKER is the man
for the occasion. He is one of oui mos
: industrious and enterprising farmers, arc
: has a just appreciation Of the importance
+. of the duties that will deyolve upon him
- and Will devote his best energies 10
=, faithful discharge Of them.
For County Auditor, we have NJ. i. C
EVANS, of Pike township, who is also Q
farmer, and is highly qualified for the
very important Office for which he ha,
been selected. Mr.. EVANS is yet young
man but he is well qualified in every
respect, and Democrat in the strictest
sense of the word.
II. w. PARK, of the borough of Clear.
field, the nominee for Coroner, is one OF
our most industrious, intelligent, and
> highly respected mechanics; and whose
!, Democracy is Of the purest water.
+ A more unexceptionable ticket was
: never presented to the people of the
county. And in saying this we cast no
rehection upon the unsuccessful candi-
: dates Had the nominations fallen upon
: any other six of the candidates before the
people, the truth would permit us to saw
.. just as much.
f That they will all be ,rium phantly
, elected, is as certain as that the election
takes place, and their lives are spared.
The Democracy were never better satisfied
with this part of their work.
