Our next Candidate for Congress

The question of who shall be the next
Democratic candidate for Congress, in this
District, seems to give the friends of Ulysses
Mercur, and others, great deal of uneasi-
ness at this time. We admit that we are
notin possession Of sufficient information in
the matter as to indicate upon what individ-
ual the honor viii fall. And it is not the
easiest thing in the world to know, at all
times, the relative prospects of the different
candidates As there are several prominent
names already mentioned, by the different
newspapers in the District, and many more
that might be mentioned, we again confess
our inability to say who the man viii be-
We do know, however, of some good men
who have been frequently and favorably
spoken of in connection with the subject;

hereafter determine We also know, from
consultation with men from other counties,
from the influence from every quarter, from
the very spirit of the press, from every in
dication of The public mind, that in the Sc

have no man with long list of ifs and bats
concealed about him. We want dignifed
and honorable man, an able debater, one
who is intimately familiar with all the bear

candidate shall be, be agitated at hecoming
delegate elections, so that the voice of the
people shall not be over-rode by a few polit-
zeal tricksters. Give US good man for our

Is it possible, as was suggested to us the
other day by one ef 9he.oldest, best, and
ablest Democrats of the county, that the
great ocean Of Democracy can fow into the
small stream Of Conservatism p that the
Mountain can go to Mahomet ?''s'.that the
shelter can go to the ship?" ''that the great
csrulean dome can come down to meet the
eagle ?'' ''that the earth can go up to the
rain ?" and that the Democratic party shall
90 struggling out to meet the brave, little
band of Conservative Republicans, when
they are within reach of safe shelter, is more
than can reasonably be asked We have
faith in ANDREW JOHNSON we respect HIM
as President of the United States; we en-
dorse his policy of Union and restoration;
we have faith in him as a friend to the Un-
ion, and we will support him as long as he
supports the Constitution and the laws;
but, in order to do this, it Is not necessary
that we should haul down the Democratic
fag; or write different inscription upon our
banner from that under which we have al
ways marched and fought. We object to
follow in the footsteps of the disgraced party
of '5ereat moral ideas which has always
changed its name to meet every new ISSUE
When an individual wants to act the rascal
he is very apt ITO change his name or join the
church But to forsake our organization,
we have no intention, OF inclination. IF the
Conservative Republicans are in earnest in
their opposition to Radicalism, and in favor
of Union, law and order, they viii come
eventually to the Democracy and cease their
war on that party. There is no occasion for
the present vigorous efforts to disband the
Democracy and the Democrats who favor
the project may live to see the folly of thea.
ways The principles and the name which
Democrats have fought for so earnestly and
so long, win not now be given UP.

Party Suicide.

The AbolitIon-Disunion party is destroy
ing itself almost as rapidly as if it had taken
dose of arsenic There they go !" ''Let
them gol' Kick them QUIT cries the
Abolition party, at the unfortunate persons
who were ensnared by.their pretended I'm
ionism, and who are to-day leaving their
party, or remaining only as objects of suspi-
cion- What pity it Is that while they had
the power and we're arresting every body,
and every thing not in accordance with their
wishes and ideas while they were claiming,
guarding and imprisoning all opposition !;
what a pity it is, we say, that they did not
build large box, with a proper lock and
key to it, and Stanton on it, with Seward S
little bell," (for Seward would not ring for
them now to ring whenever a member was
suspected of desertion from their ranks,
and have him arrested, put into the box, and
locked up. In fact, we think THAT in this
county they had better do it yet, before
Stanton is kicked out of Office, and while
they yet have remnant of a party As
there are but few Radicals left, 1t will not
require very large box, and with the editor
of the Republican, to make the selection, we
advise them to pat the entire Republican
party into it and securely fasten the lid
down. Or, it would be better, perhaps, for
the party to lock up the Republican, so that
its loudly expressed fears shall not preduce
panic. If an army was to go into battle
with general order, announcing that the
principal officers had deserted, and that the
rank and file are about to desert, and that
the whole army was demeraiized, nobody

Inasmuch as a special call has been issued
to both parties to take part in the coming
National Convention to be held at Philadel-
phia, ON the l4th of August, setting forth
the npnber as well as the manner in which
the delegates are to be chosen We deem it
expedient for the Democratic party in.this
Congressional District, to proceed to the Sc
lection of good and true men, as Delegates,
to represent our party in the Convention
1t is a fact, that the proposed Convention,
which is intended to give the Union-loving
people, from all sections of our country, an
opportunity. Of comforting with each other
on the important questions of the Union, is
opposed by the Radical Republicans. 1t
may not suit the plans of some of the men
who,stil consider the movement trap to
ensnare Democrats but we have already ex
planned, through our columns, why we con-
sider this Convention, and the participation
therein by Democrats an advantage, if COM
posed Of the right kind Of men, to the coun-
try and the great Democratic party.
We know from diigent search in our Re
publican exchanges that the Radical Repub-
hcans who have been ruling our country for
the last six years are opposing it, because 1t
looks to the restoration of the Union. Be-
sides it is historical fact that the Democratic
party has always supported national men and
national principles, no matter from what
party, or what section they come. We be-
ieve thatthis movement win give great pleas
ure to the people of the Southern States. 1t
viii encourage the now discouraged people
of the South and give them the grand assur-
ance that the great Democratic party, as
well as a goodly number of Conservative
Republicans, are willing to unite with them
in all constitutional measures looking towards
the restoration of the Union.
In participating In this action, on the part
of Democrats, it may strengthen and in
crease the numbers and power of the Demo
cratic party, and bring the country back
to the old system which carried US safely
through SO many days of peril, and secured
for us SO many years of peace and prosperi-
ty. The Importance of this Convention af-
ter all, must depend on the action of the
Democratic party. Let it be successfully ma
nipulated and all viii yet be we'll Let us
have true men as Delegates.

B6 In acknowledging our willingness to
accept, within our party lines, the Conserva-

as to their earnest and furious advocation of
che. late war, and the justifying Of all its
atrocities; but, allowing them to bear this
responsibility for themselves, we are willing
to accept in good faith, and to unite with
Conservative Republicans and War Demo
Gratis, to put down and destroy the wild and
revolutionary party, which is seeking to de-
stroy our republican form of Government,
and to erect upen its ruins centralized des-
potism- But, IN doing this we are only
disposed to actin good faith TO our endorse

policy, to commend him and give him credit
for what he has done in accordance with De
