TO DEFEATED CANDIDATES.

THE following lines, written by the late
George F. Meeser. formerly editor of the
Philadelphia Sunday Mercury, who was in
1857 a candidate before the nominating Con-
vention for Prothonotary of the District
Court, we republish by request, and COM
mend it to those gentlemen who met a SINH
lar fate in the late Convention.-ED.l
Six months ago, with little cash,
In politics | made dash,
Resolving, though l went to smash,
I'd have the nomination.
/ went to work with all my night,
| call'd on friends both dar and night,
And oft l thought, "Ol., I'm all right"-
III get the nomination.
The friends that brought me in the field
Said, now, my boy, you must not yield,
For boldness is your strongest shield
To win the nomination.
They also urged another course
Insisted ont with all their force
That should get coach and horse
And hunt the nomination.
I yielded to their argument;
For coach and horse my money spent,
And every Gay driving went,
To seek the nomination.
! drove through north and east an6 west,
Thro' all the precincts (t'was thought best, }
And gave myself and hOr. no rest
To get the nomination.
My cards l hung on tavern walls,
And tickets bought for all the balls,
Took catfish suppers at the Falls"
To get the nomination.
Excursions to Atlantic made;
That l must go my friends all said;
Should | refuse, they were afraid
I'd lose the nomination.
Besides, went from place to place,
The Delegates met face to face.
For thus l thought to win the race
And get the nomination.
And often, too, the ''hounds" I'd meet,
In dozens walking down the street
Of course, the party l must treat,
To get the nomination.
My family was neglected, too,
| saw them not for whole weeks through,
And all these things | had to do,
To get the nomination.
My business. too, sunk very low,
For cash | knew not where to go,
| thought it would not long be so,
I'd get the nomination.
Thus time rolled on, and SO did L
Six months elapsed. my hopes were high,
At last the day and hour drew nigh,
To make the nomination.
My friends were promptly on the ground,
And when my hopes seemed almost crown'd
Alas! to my sorrow found.
ia .ost the nomination.
And now, to those who won the fight,
] give the hand of friendship bright,
While, for myself II se7Ued me right,
To expect the nomination.
And those kind friends who, from the start
Stood by me, from my inmost heart
/ thank them for their active part,
Tho | lost the nomination
And finally-before / close
| friends would make of all my foes,
And pledge myself to vote for those
Who got the nomination.
With health impaired and pockets dry,
I'll rest till three long years roll by,
And then again, perhaps, Pll try
To get the nomination.

BEH.IRE!

We observe that insidious attempts
arc being made to poison the minds Of
Democrats and others against Clymcr, by
attaching to him 0 suspicion Of taking
sides in a question of local interest in
this county. Note, that the very men
who are industriously endeavoring to
impress you with the idea that Clymcr
is committed in favor of the removal of
the county scat, are the most bitter rad
icals, men who under any circumstances
would be and will be opposed to his
election. The charge is not true. Mr.
Clymer is running on a national issue.
aud would not stoo2 to meddle in So IN
significant a matter as the location OF
county seat. Beware Of these prcten'
dsd champions Of your local interests

There is no longer any doubt as to
who will be the radical candidate for
Congress in this district. Glonni w.
Schofcld evidently has secured the
nomination in his party. For us it IS
enough to know, that his record is black
as the blackest, and that no conscrva.
tive man can honestly support him.
We believe he can be beaten and we
know he ought to be beaten. We be.
licvc that the Democrats and conscrva
tive Republicans united are a majority
in the district. We know that as
against Schofeld the numbers would be
swellcd by hundreds of even radical
Republicans who dcspisc Schofield as
an unprincipled trickster. He is un-
popular in Erie county. lie is even
more unpopular at home. Ii our own
county his conduct on the county seat
question is fresh in the memories Of our
people. Let the conservative men
move against him. A Union Convcn.
ton was held in Philadelphia last week
with glorious results. Why can We not
in the same spirit, hold Congrcssion-
al Conference, and redeem this district
from radical representation. Let it be
done
