OUR COUNTY TICKET.

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-
quain,ed with the several gentlemen thus
nominated, it may be interesting for them
TO know that they all belong 10 the
younger class of men at least that each
cne of them is young enough to be can
didate for a place in Lincoln's army OF
conscripts 10 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 I'M
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 foreiathers, 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 Cor the fourth or
fifth time-and generally without opposi-
! tion-attests the estimation in which he
is held by his fellow citizens. 1t is dis
tinction that no other man can boast Of.
Should he receive the District nomination
he will be supported with similar unanim-
iiy at the October election, and will no
harr isbhfg asf Hd SGbaeGf GfehjSJ J1loHfties at
JACOB A. FAUST, the nominee for Sheriff,
is gentlemen of excellent capacity, OF
correct and wel-established moral habits,
and of the sourdest political faith. Should
he be elected, (of which there cannot be
| a rational doubt, he will be no discredit
to any of his "illustrious predecessors
and the Democracy of Clearfeld will be
proud of their choice. lie is bard-work-
ing. industrious, aud intelligent mechanic.
WM. NJ. McCULLoUcu, the nominee for
District Attorney, is well known as gen
tleman of rare ability, of strict integrity
and an ardent Democrat Although
amorg the youngest members, he ranks
well at the Bar, and as the Common
wealth's attorney and advocate, will ac-
quit himself in manner that will be both
creditable and advantageous 10 the public.
For County Commissioner in CONRAD
BAKER, of Knox township, as the candi-
date, the Democra cy presents gentleman
worthy of the highest confidence. The
Office of County Commissioner has sud-
denly grown TO be one of tue most impor-
tant connected with county affairs, requir-
ing business capacity, but more especially
integrity and firmness. Taxes are unpre-
cedentedly high already-all caused by
the war to compel the South to abandon
slavery"-but unless the people are spe-
clally careful in the selection Of their
financial agents, their condition will very
soon be hopeless. Mr.. BAKER is the man
for the occasion. He is one of oui most
industrious and enterprising farmers, and
has a just appreciation Of the importance
of the duties that will devolve upon him,
and will devote his best energies 10 q
faithful discharge of them.
For County Auditor, we have NJ. i. C.
EVANS, of Pike township, who is also
farmer, nnd is highly qualified for the
very important Office for which he has
been selected. Mr.. EVANS is YET a young
man; but he is well qualified in every
respect, and Democrat in the strictest
sense of the word.
IL. 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 tho
COUNTY ana in saying this we cast no
renec'ion upon the unsuccessful candi-
dates. Had the nominations fallsn pnon
any other six of the candidates before the
people, the truth would permi. us to saw
just as much.
That they will all be triumphantIv
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.
