1t. G. 2. GOODRICH,
Of Oakland another soldier and the pres
ent county Surveyor was re-nominated for
that Office. The faithful and satisfactory
manner in which he has served for the
last two years are guarantees Of what we
may expect in the future. The Office is
not really political one, and we do not
doubt that the people will consult their
interests and elect the man best qualified
for the position, which we do no! doubt
every one believes the republican candid
ates to be.
JAMES L. MANVILLE,
Of Jefferson, received the nomination for
Coroner. Dir. Manville is one of tae
Oldest citizens of the county, and former
lysheld the Office of Sheriff We do not
doubt that his election would give gener-
al satisfaction.
Such are the candidates offered to the
people of Jefferson County by the Repub-
lican party for their support We say
without hesitation that ticket in all re.
spects more unexceptionable, was never
before brought before them by this nor
any other party. We hope and expect to
see it receive the earnest undivided sup
port Of all Republicans. The Demo
Gratis have put up what they consider
strong ticket and will strive to draw off
Republican votes on the score of personal
friendship. But let every voter remom-
Der that in no case is any Republican
candidate inferior in ability or quali6ca-
tons to his opponent. And the fact
that man is running for Office on the
ticket of the Ku Klux party which has
hatched and fostered treason against the
Government, ond which still seeks its ruin,
relieves every Republican from all claim
upon him for support, even if it should
be made by his nearest friend and relative.
Principles are at stake-let no other con-
siderations effect single vote.
LETTER OF JUDGE PIERREpoNT.
TIE following correspondence prac ical-
~ illustrates tie views of thinking men
respecting the coming election. Judge
Pierrepont has always been Democrat,
and is one of the Sachcms of Tammany
Hall. His detection, therefore, shows il
great degree the extent Of feeling ad-
verse to the Rebel candidates among the
Democracy who have not altogether lost
their love of country or respect for main
tanning It's honor and character as nation:

Chairman of the Grant Committee, &c:
My DEAR SIR
When Frank p. Blair, who had no
claims whatever upon the Democratic par
ty, was nominated in Tamany Hall, with
snch shouts of applause, just after pro-
claiming that g JPe must haze q President
a0ho aclH tyaDpte into dust the laws of
Congress, and when four Rebel Generals
made the chief ratification speeches in
New York, my attention. as War Dem
ocrat was arrested by this remarkable ex-
hibiton.
Since then | have carefully noticed the
expressions Of Southern Journals, and the
speeches Of Southern politicians, from
Wade Hampton on bis return to Charles
ton, to the recent manifesto of B. II Hi,
and L find that every leading Rebel in the
Gontederacy regards the expected election
Of Seymour aud Blair as comp iete vim
dication of the Rebellion, and as certain
to restore the South to every right which
she had before the war, including the
"trampling into dust" by military feet,
the procl amatlonsof Freedom and othe
Fourteenth amendment of the Gonstitu-
ton.
This contest presents we'll defined
issue between the friends and the enemies
of our Government.
cannot conceive how any intelligent
man, who does not wish the Rebels re-
turned to power, the Nations faith viola
ted, It's debt repudiated, its name dishon-
ored, It's prosperity destroyed, its patriots
insultcd, and the ''Lost Cause restored,
can vote against Grant.
In my judgment, the election of Sey-
mour and Blair would forthwith confuse
and paralyze our business, aud reduce the
value OF our property one-half.
10 aid in avertiEg this calamity, send
you herewith Twenty Thousand Dollars,
(s2O, OOO) which | give to be used in the
election OF General Grant, in such man
ner as you and the committee with VII ON
you act may think best. And [ remain,
Yours ever truly,
EDWARDS PIERREpoNT.
