cOmmOJlOn. i mean IN the reDel wing OF
the "unterrifed" Democracy. For two
or three weeks past the faithful-those
who have done the most dirty work
for the concern-have been very busy
in packing delegates to County Con-
yention, which came off last Saturday.
to nominate candidates for such Coun-
ty Offices as are to be elected next Oc-
tober. But it appears that those who
did the most-who stopped the lowest
and connived the meanest-were de-
feated in their designs. Their great
fugleman and principal aspirant for
the. Legislature was, to his great cha
grin and modification, laid upon the
shelf, and another, fully as unscrupul
Gus but less blatant, placed upon the
ticket in his stead. This, for the pre-
sent, creates considerable soreness,
and not little dissatisfaction, on the
part of. the friends of Capt. Dial, but
/ think some panacea will be applied
to asuage their wrath before long.
The nominee for Sheriff is a new man
who has been preferred to the present
incumbent, who is still eligible for
another term, merely because he is a
suppliant tool, but ostensibly because
he is a soldier. He was forced to
humiliate himself by making public
retraxits in regard to statements he
made year or two since in re-
gard to the loyalty, bravery, &c, of
Judge J. w. B. Moore, the chief
editor of their hebdomadal. But all
this will avail them nothing. They
will find that Capt. Jack Robinson, or
some other boy in blue will take
him round the track " in style that
he will not at all admire.
DR.. VIM. Slaughter, of Newburg, OF
some other true and tried friend of
the Union, will be the nominee of the
Union party for Representative, and
you will discover that old Warrick
will come forth gloriously next Octo-
Der. d. 4.
The Central Committee will soon
have consultation, fix the day for
convention, and put affairs in such a
shape that all the efforts of all the
grand jugglemen of the entire rank
and file can not prevail against them.
The Republicans for awhile had de-
termined to start q newspaper here,
but after taking full view of the af-
fair, it was concluded that the Boon
vile Enquirer is doing us as much
good as Republican paper can. The
chief editor, Judge Moore, is quite a
moderate man; but he has an associ-
ate, named Crawford, who is fedg-
ling at the business of editing, and
fresh from the ranks of the rebel ar
my To him, am told, the Judge
confdes the entire management of the
paper, and now and then heis brought
up to answer, by some inapaedent
Uaion man, for certain very disloyal
sentiments which appear in its col
umns, but the Judge disclaims the pa
!. ternity and throws the responsibility
upon the shoulders of his associate,
5 while at the same time his name the
81 Judges appears at the head Of the
editorial column as the chief and only
editor. Tt seems to me this is a
singular state of affairs; but not being
acquainted with the modus operandi of
editing and publishing newspapers, |
presume it is all right. E 81
I am told that some Of the more So
Der and liberal of their party are not
little dissatisfied with the conduct
of the Judges associate-his bitter
rebelism, his utter contemptfor every
thing Northern, &c. I heard one old
man say that he attended the Conven-
81 ton last Saturday, hoping to see the
proceedings conducted in the good
old fashioned Democratic style
but when he saw this man
Crawford acting as principal Sec
retary,z and heard Others who were
Just out of their frocks and diapers
attempting to dictate what should anc
should not be done, it sickened hin
and he withdrew, Said he, " | can
