Our County Nominations.

We publish this week at the head OF our
columns the Union Ticket in full-National
State, District and County. Our Union
readers now have the ticket that demands
their labor aud their suffrages before them.
The presidential, and congressional candi-
dates have before received frequent notice
at our hands and through our columns.
JOHN G. McMYNN, by appointment OF the
Governor, present State Superintendent, has
been put on the ticket by the State central
Committee, for election as successor to Mr..
Pickard, and we doubt not the people will
ratify the action of the committee, on the
9Th of November next, by rousing major
ity.
To the most of our readers, it is hardly
necessary to say word in reference to the
peculiar qualifications of Mr.. McMynn for
the office for which he is nominated. His
entire career, since he gave their high char
acter to the Public Schools of this city and
made our High School noted throughout the
State, and a model school of the kind, upon
which has since been founded some of the
first schools of the Northwest, in this and
voter of the county. His success as prac-
tical teacher and educator and especially as
an organizer and classifer of schools, he has
no superior in the State. These are quail
fications that will especially be useful in the
Office for which he is nominated. Col. Nc
Mynn has proved his loyalty, patriotism
and attachment to the union by active and
efficient service in the field. We look to
see him elected by a large majority.
The candidates for County offices, are
most Of them, so well and so favorably
known as to need no word from us in their
favor. Most of them have been thoroughly
tried in the positions to which they have
been named, and we may presume the peo
pie are satisfied with their qualifications and
the manner III which they have discharged
their duties, or they would not have renom-
mated them.
Our candidate for the Assembly, is we'll
and favorabIy known throughout the county
(and the State for that matter,) as a man,
but he is new in his present role as candi-
date for office, and few words may, there
fore, not be inappropriate. OF MIR. Sim
mons usefulness as liberal and public spir-
tied citizen and business man, this conmu-
nifty has had the highest practical evidence,
in almost all departments of its interests
In this acknowledgement there can be no
distinction of party" But what has been
most particularly noticeable in his record,
since this war commenced, has been his
whole-souled devotedneSs to the Union
cause in season and out of season, laboring
for the prom otion of volunteer enlistmdnts,
and for the benefit of the soldier in the field
and for the soldiers family at home-giving
of his means for these purposes, as much,
perhaps, in this city as derived from all
other sources combined. And all of course,
from a simple patriotic sense of duty
While his tgood works" referred to, consti-
tute ground for public confidence, his in
telligence, integrity and untiring persever-
ance of character indicate his nomination for
the Assembly, eminently eft to be made"
and ratified, as it will be, by the people at
| the polls.
