The Democratic Convention.

Every district was fully represented 10
place on Monday last, for the purpose OF
nominating a county ticket, and appointing
Representative and Congressional Con-
ferees. We scarcely ever attended a Con,
vention that was characterized with more
harmonious feeling than tie one held on
Monday. There seemed 10 be little or no
dissatisfaction with the ticket formed, and
every one expressed his willingness to 90
home and battle for its success at the polls.
From present Indications this county will
increase her vote over that Of last Fall
There are quite a good many who voted
for Lincoln throughout this county as we'll
as the whole State who will not be caught
guilty OF such a trick this Fail. There will
be a strong effort made by the constitutional
Union-loving people of the country to over
throw the corrupt and iYrannicaI admin s;ra-
ton that is nisgoyerning the affairs OF this
once happy and prosperous country.
The Convention appointed John Mercy
nsIds and George Scott Congressional Con-
ferees, with Instructions TO nominate For
that Office our townsFnzn, Hon. L. B. RU-
PERT. There was no opposition in the least
shown to the selection of these Conferees
who were chosen as the known friends OF
Ma. Rupert. We sincerely trust they will
use all fair and honorable means TO secure
his nomination. II is hardly necessary for
ms 80 state that he has filed several respon-
sible positions with credit to himself az well
as to the party to which he belongs. We
should like to see the other counties in the
RUPERr, as bis nomination and election in
the District will do as much honor to The
voters as to the Office. This county is good
Tor two thousand majority tor Ma. RuPERr,
a majority that could not be obtained for
any other man we have yet heard spoken
Of for this position There seems TO be
much to convince MS that the nominee
for Congress should come from Columbia
county thu Fall. Trusting the Conference
will give the claims Of this County, as well
as OF Ma RuPERT, due consideration, we
will say no more on the subject
Wesley Wirt, Eaq., and DR.. n. C. How
er, were appointed Representative Con-
ferees, to meet similar conferees from Mon
tour county, with instructions 10 support
WILLIAMsoN r.. JAcoBY for Assembly, he
having carried the Columbia County Con-
vention.
According TO the rules and usages Of the
party this county is entitled 10 the Member
this Fall. Moniour and Sullivan counties
having bad the two last Representatives.
For the office OF Sheriff the Democracy
Of Columbia county saw proper 10 nomi-
ntse SAMUEL S~sYDEa, Esq, of Mifiin, a very
worthy and patriotic gentleman, and withaI,
. sound Democratic Union man. He is sat-
isied With the Constitution as il is and the
Union as it was, and will sternly oppose
any change of the same. He does not en-
JOY the acquaintance of the people of this
comfy to a very large extent, but we will
venture to cay this much for him. that there
is not a more pleasing, honorable, worthy
and hon est man npon the ticket, than Ma.
SNYDER, and i elected, (which there can
be no doubt) will make a most capital of
ficer.
ALLEN MANS, ESQ who received the
nomination Tor County Commissioner is
an honest and faithful Democrat of Beaver
township. This township is a strong Dem
ocratic township, polls one hundred and
seventy odd Democratic votes to a little
over a half dozen Abolition voies. This
nomination is no more than Justice TO the
township as we'll as to Mr. Mann. The
nominee 10 much respected by his neigh
bors, and has just the common sense and
practical experience which fits him to
make = good Commissions His abilities
no one will question:. For several years be
has been acting Justice OF the Peace ia his
iownship and against his business quail

will be elected.
