County Nominations.

We this week complete the Union ticket
By placing the nominations for county Off
GERS upon it. These nominations were
made by the regularly called Union County
Convention, which met at Dodgeville, on
Saturday last, and may be relied upon as
competent, honest and worthy men, and
constituting, with the preceding names on
the Union ticket, one of the best tickets ever
presented for the sufrages of the American
people. 70
w. L. LINCOLN, of Avoca, the choice of
the Convention for State Senator, is a
thorough business man makes business
of whatever he undertakes and when sent
to represent his friends at home, he makes
it his business to see that their rights are
respected, and that everything is done son
the square," Having served one term in
the Legislature, he is somewhat acquainted
with their manner of doing business, and
consequently more competent for the posi-
ton now rendered him than new hand.
His election is considered certain.
The candidates for the Assembly FRANCIS
LITTLE in the Southern, and SAM'L HosK1Ss
in the Northern Districts,-are generally
known, and need no recommendation from
u.s. Mr.. LITTLE is a faithful representative
having so proved himselfin previous service
Mr.. HosKlNs is well known throughout the
county to be an upright, honest and
straightforward business mana man who
never seeks Office, but always ready to help
his country, his friends and his party.
THOMAS THOMAS, of Dodgeville, was
unanimously nominated for Sheriff. This
was aagood choice, and will be handsomely
ratified by the voters of the county in
November next Mr.. THOMAS has served
as Town Treasurer during the last year,
with aceptibility and credit to himself.
As soon as his business was closed up as
Town Treasurer, he Immediately enlisted in
the one hundred days service, and has
lately completed his term of enlistment, and
been honorably discharged. 1t viii be Q
fitting reward for previous faithfulness tc
elect him TO county. office-for which he
is in every way well qualified.
FRANCIS VIVIAN, of Mineral Point, wa:
again nominated for Treasurer Having
with such ability and honesty discharged
the duties of Treasurer heretofore, the people
are 10th to part with him. He was nomi
mated by an overwhelming majority, al
though he had signifed his wish not to be a
candidate, and we can but expect that he
will be elected by handsome majority.
The Convention saw fit to make choice OF
JAMES JONES, of Dodgeville, for Register OF
Deeds. Squire JONES being an excellent
scholar and good penman, is just the man
for the place Our people are well satisfied
with his nomination. They have frequently
rendered him Town Offices, which he has
honorably filed, but they were anxious to
give him something better, and are now
pleased that his prospects are SO good.

received on his preaching was from a

that Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Thumb have got
baby-a real, genuine fesh-and blood
chip of the old blocks, and three months
at that. Those who have seen the "bles-

cunning, crying doll of thing, and in
no respect peculiar or remarkable, ex-

Democratic Platform.

RESOLVED, That in the future, as in the
past, we will adhear with answering
fidelity to the Union under the consti-
tuition as the only solid foundation OF
our strength, security and happiness as
a people, and as framework of govern
ment equity conductive to the welfare
and prosperity Of all the States, both
northern and southern. -.-...-.-s---....
Resolred, That this convention does
explicitly declare, as the sense of the
American people, that after four years
of failure TO restore the Union by the
experiment of war, during which under
the pretence ofmilitary necessity or war
power higher than the constitution,
itself has been disregarded in every
part, and public liberty and private
right alike trodden down and the materi-
al prosperity of the country essentially
impaired, justice, humanity, liberty and
the public welfare demand that imme-
date efforts be made for cessation Of
hostilities, with a view to an ultimate
convention of the States, or other peace
able means, to the end that at the earliest
practicable moment peace may be re-
,stored on the basis Of the Federal Union
| of the States. 81, ssst ssgoe
| lReso lred, That the direct interference
Of the military authorities of the United
States in the recent elections held in
Kentucky, Maryland, Missouriand Del
aware was a shameful violation OF the
constitution and repetition Of such acts
in the approaching election will be held
as revolutionary and resisted with all
the means and power under our control.
Resolred, That the aim and object of
the Democratic party is to preserve the
Federal Union and the rights Of the
States unimpaired, and they hereby de-
clare that they consider the administra-
tive usurpation Of extraordinary and dam
gerous powers not granted by the constl-
tuition; the subyersion of the civil by
the military law in the states not in in
surrection; the arbitrary military arrests,
imprisonments, trial and sentence of
American citizens in states where civil
law exists in full force; the suppression of
freedom of speech and Of the press the
the denial Of the right Of asylum; the
open and avowed disregard of state
rights; the employment of unusual test
oaths, and the interference with and de-
NAL of the right of the people to bear
arms in their defence as calculated to
prevent restoration Of the Union and
perpetuation of a government deriving
its just power from the consent of the
governed.
Resolved, That the shameful disregard
by the Administration of its duty in
respect to our fellow citizens who are
now and long have been prisoners Of
war in suffering condition. deserves
the severest reprobation on the score
alike of public policy end common hui
manity.
Resozued, That the sympathy Of the
Democratic PARTY is heartily and ear
| nestly extended to the soldiers Of our
army and the seaman Of our navy, who
now are and have been in the field
under the flag of their country, and in
the event of its attaining power; they
will receive all the care, protection
and regard that the brave soldiers and
sailors Of the Republic have SO nobly
earned.

WITHDRAwN.-Gen.J john G. Fremont and
Gen. John Cochrane have withdrawn from
the canvass Of President and Vice Presi-
dent. A highly patriotic act in the Gen.
erals. They have helped too materially
darken the gloom which already hangs
over the heads of Mcclellan and Pendleton.
1t is well. No matter whether the gloom is
darkened by victories in the field, victories
at the polls, or the narrowing down of the
opposition to one candidate, as long as it is
darkened And we have no fear of it, for
the clouds of blackness are gathering thick,
and ere long our country's enemies will be
enveloped in more than Egyptian darkness.
1t is truly gratifying the loyal men ofthe
country to know that they are becoming
more and more united every day, and the
contest is narrowing down to two issues
one the perpetuation of this glorious Union
and the defeat Of all its enemies the other
the acknowledgement of the Traitor Gov
eminent and perpetual anarchy and ruin.
We fear not for the result-we believe the
love of the glorious flag which has been the
emblem Of justice and liberty, will direct
the voters of the nation.

JOEL WHITMAN, of .Ridgeway, was the
unanimous nominee of the Convention for
Clerk of the Giro lit Court. Mr.. WHITMAN
is the presens Incumbent, and as he has so
creditably filled that important Office during
the last two years, it is not thought best to
take leap in the dark, by trying some one
else. His electionis aforegone conclusion.
ALEXANDER WILSON, of Mineral Point,
was nominated for District Attorney. He
is an able and capable lawyer-a man OF
steady habits and non compromises with
traitors. Elect him and you will not be
deceived in the man.
GEO. Fl. OTIs, of Mineral Point. was
selected as a candidate for the office Of Clerk
of the Board of Supervisors. Mr.. OTIs is at
present one of the editors of the Mineral
Point Tribune, but better known as Major
OTIs, of the I'd Wis, part Of the famouns
Iron Brigade. He enlisted at the first call
ofhis country as private in Company /,
ID Wis. Reg't, and by his soldiery conduct
and being competent for almost any position
he rose from the ranks to ithe position Of
Major of the Regt. Up to the commence
ment of our troubles, Mr.. OTIs was Demo-
crat, but when his country called he re-
sponded, and since that time he has been a
Union man. He espoused the cause of his
country at that time, and is determined to
remain true to his country's cause. The
brave and fearless defender of the right
should be literally rewarded. We believe
better choice could not have, been made.
JAMES D. ADAMS, Of Miflin, was unani-
mously chosen as county Surveyor, and
MATTHEW GoLDswoRTHY, as Coroner. Not
being personally acquainted with these men
we can say nothing of their abilities, but as
the Convention made so good choice of
candidates for the more important offices,
we are inclined to think that they would not
fail in these minor nominations.
The ticket is considered by Union men
to be sound-a good one; and Democrats
are afraid it will be "hard to beat" Let
the Union men on the 9Th of next Noyem-
Der, show that it can't be beat. Better men
cannot be found-so don't elect worse men
by voting an opposition ticket.
