Our Ticket.

At the head Of our column, in con
nection with our National ticket, will
be found our State ticket.
We think we can say, without the
least reserve or exception that it is such
one as every loyal Union man can
and should warmly support. Hon c.
C. Cole OF DeS Moiucs, was nominated
without opposition for the office Of
Supreme Ju ige. lie is now filling the
duties OF that office in connection with
the other Supreme Judges, by appoint
ment Of the Governor az provided b.,
the last session Of the legislature. He
was formerly q Democrat, but at the
breaking out of the present rebellion,
the position of that party was so cold
and distant toward the Administration
especially in its efforts to suppress the
belion, that he cut loose from the dead
carcass, and declared he was for his
country first instead ofparty, and would
not be bound by the loa,hesome tram
mels of any party hat would not labor
to save the best government on earth,
when foes were assaling it without and
within. He has done much labor, and
made many eloquent speeches to induce
men 20 enlist for s,hc war and suppoi,

Mr.. /. l.. Allen Of our town, is our
candidate for Attorney General.
The most Of our readers are acquaint

his first term his. cons,ituents..by very
genera! and united voice called him to
ill the ticc second term, and HOW
while doing it very acceptab'y he is
summoned by the people higher, TO dis

General for the STATE. He will be elec

people and credit to himself.

Offices for nearly full term, and having

| Scales, which effected q complete
change in the manner OF doing such
business as requires weighing, aud with.

they have give their constant personal
attention to the business, making all
such Improvements and adding such

time many other kinds Of scales have
been invented, and more or less tried
by the public, and mainly thrown aside,
while the business of the Messrs. Fair.

being very much larger than ever be

the Joint Resolution providing Tor an
Amendment TO the Constitution abol

by the speeches Of REL resentatlres

shameless episode was the personal

EAST MICHIGAN, JANUARY IN 1861:

lost their trail and were in pursuit Of
gold. They at cnce lea their camping
ground and moved over to q small but
rapid mountain stream that emptied
into the Santiam Just beside the camp
Of the pursuers. Here they began to
stake off claims and number them,
and one or two actually began digging
in the stream so as to render the wa
ter muddy. A, rude shelter was built
and everything done to give the place
the appearance Of a permanent loca-
ton. An occasional gun was fred,
and sundry devices known only TO
miners used to attract the attention
their neighbors On the following
day their bait was taken and the
whole party came whooping and shout
ing through the forest to ascertain
what muddied the water Of this little
stream. When, they came upon the
hunters, great was their joy and loud
their exultations at having traced
them to their rich discoveries. The
hunters were meek as lambs and had
no word of welcome for any of them,
but they, nevertheless, were worry
much at home, and began making
their selections in great haste as they
said in day or, two a very large
number of miners would arrive
The hunters assured them at last that
it was oil jest, and returned to their
old camp, but so certain were they
thata large deposit lay in the lonely
bottom of that creek that they never
could ba convinced ~ tho vvntrury
until they had dug it and washed it
from end to end without ever having
(" raised the color" At length how
ever, they turned homeward, and
meeting many new adventurers ad-
vised them not to be humbugged, but
without succeeding in turning one of
them back, and we solemnly believe
that if party of miners once got it
into their heads that their was gold
in large deposits in the crater of Mt
Vesuvius, they would every man of
them 60 down to make q personal OBJ
servation, however many might have
been roasted under his very eyes. If
you appeal to them not to be hum
buggcd, they take it for granted that
you wish to perpetrate q 'selP' md
go at once and are humbugged. The
very excitement of gold hunting is
more intoxicating than strong drink,
and has brought many man to beg
gary and starvation. 7i4 n1ia li'a
