If objection be made to the term Bolter'
We are al q loss TO fiud name-a misfortune
which it appears has befallen the party. One
thing is certain, that these patriots aspiring
to position must fall in the arms of their enc.
mics, and catch the votes of Copperheads and
Secessionisis, the men who they have been
the loudest to abuse and denounee the past
four years. What are they? Are they not
worse ihaa Secessionists
The President of the spontaneous up
rising" after explaining things little-see
Phelix-" got on " quite speech, which he
concluded By referring rather lightly of Gen
Bidwell's letter against bolters." He appoint
ed committe of FIVE on resolutions, aud FIVE
to make the " slate " to be supported by the
people, aud adjourned for half an hour
The people again assembled aud where
ased and resolved several times-one of which
was that the mission of the Union party is
not fulfilled which means, of course, till
each and every one of them shall be voted
into good fat Office by the dear people who
have been so much imposed upon. They re-
fused to resolve that their main object for
boiling was TO secure Office and public pap.
The slate throughout received twenty
one acclamations the candidate being too
modest to vote-except Squire Dick, who for
some reason withdrew.
Mr.. Nourse, upon being crowned with Sen
atorial honor, said be knew he would be elect
ed and after be had finished his labors the
people " would say to him" well done,
good and faithful servant etc. etc.
Frank w. Day refused to respond to his
nomination, though, as Phelix says, be was
not far off So " Dad Babber has gone in
for the support of Secessionists, ere the
smoke Of the great battle of '63 has cleared
away-straDge clap of thunder from the
cloudess sky could not have surprised honest
Union men more than this There is "some.
thing in the wood pile.
The nominees for County Clerk, Recorder,
Prosecuting Attorney, Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction and one representative were
not present, three of whom upon learning the
fact have already withdrawn, as in all proba-
blty the nominations were without their
knowledge or consent. The others are to be
heard from.
NJ. Pence was by unanimous vote endorsed
on The Sore ticket, when Squire Dick moved
that he be taken off, from the fact that be was
nominated by the regular Union Convention.
Pence probably sat too heavy on the small
body.
Several aspirauts were present who failed to
get nomination, after which they expressed
much dissatisfa ction, charging corruption, etc.
The committee Of FIVE had made the " slate .
to suit them aud voted it through with a rush
This is the spontaneous uprising of the peo-
pie in horn. This farce adjourned sine
died
There were present at this grand faDdango
about twenty Of the old Democracy, who sat
quietly looking on-taking no part, apparent
ly with fellow feeling" for their deuded
opponents, and contemplating the ridiculous
position in which the handful of boilers were
placing themselves. Occasionally you could
discover bolter approach an old Copperhead
and greet him with o friendly, loving pat on
the back, with a face all covered with smiles
OF what telling effect this mode Of courtship
will produce on Copperheads, we cannot say;
We can only give the opinion Of one who quiet
ly remarked to Us These boilers are greas
ing themselves well all over TO be swallowed
but don't think they are worth swallowing"
We shall see.
