SUGGEsTTvE.-The Albany Journal says that
of the $40 couvicts in Auburn State Prison 636
are Democrats. There is little doubt that in
vestigation would show similar results in all
the jails and prisons in the country. 1t is not
strange that the party that upheld slavery,
that still favors the civil and political subordi-
nation of the laboring classes in the South to
an aristocracy of landowners, a party that
nominates for the Presidency man who calls
rioters, incendiaries and murderers his
friends" favors the reputation of the nation
al debt and paying heavy premium on trea-
son, besides being everywhere committed to
free rum legislation, should receive the sup
port of those who are chiefly interested in
making crime safe and respectable.

THE COUNTY CoNvENTIoN.-The nomina-

to complete the list of Republican candidates
for the Fall elections. The campaign has fair
ly commenced, and people who hate politics."
will have an opportunity to indulge their pre-
JUDGES to the fullest extent, for they will hear
little else for the next three months This is
good year for Republican Conventions. A
spirit OF wisdom seems to pervade all prelimi-
nary Republican meetings-from national con-
ventions down to Ward caucuses This was
the case at the County Convention yesterday.
The delegates were wise and independent
enough to carry their their personal prefer
ences into the Convention, and to maintain
them with firmness and vigor; they were wise
and patriotic enough not to carry them out of
the hall after the nominations were made.
The result in every case where there was a
contest, was accepted cheerfully, and all ex-
pressed a determination to give hearty sup
port to the ticket. Indeed, the County ticket
is one that is worthy to supplement the Nation
al, Congressional land State nominations.
Neither can be the subject of just criticism,
nor call for explanation or apology.

Union D0wa.


Mr.. EDIroR:-The Argus of to-day has in
its estimation settled the flag question. So it
has in mine and also in the mind of every in
telligent man. In yesterdays Press quoted
from the Argus the following: "That a mag
nifcent flag was thrown to the breeze from the
Democratic Headquarters" and made my COM
ments upon it, and to-day have, as they sup
pose, got my quietus from them by being told
that am Radical disguised as Copperhead,
and the flag is thrown out right and proper
from their room opposite to headquarters"
suppose their room means some small place
over Swasey's billiard room, where the little
would-be great men can meet and fugle under
tie flag of our country with tn Union up,
while we, the mass of the Democratic party,
can meet in old City Hall. where the transpar-
ency says Democratic Headquarters" with
the Union down, for the Argus says to-day
that ANY old sailor or soldier will tell our rad
ical friends that flags are never hoisted Union
nearest at hand. The cabin is the headauar-
tiers of ship, but flag hoisted upon the idea
that the Union must be next to headquarters
would bring the flag to masthead Union down."
SO it seems that we poor devils who wish to
tend out at the meetings that are ostensbly
held at the Democratic headquarters, must
shin above the truck to make the flag look
right as any gallant saileure or bold soger bow
will perceive at once, if he will go into old
City Hall and imagine tina. he is in the cabin
or headquarters of the ship. Bringing that Ii ne
to perpendicular above the cabin and looking
aloft, he will find the Union down, for as the
flag hangs now, Swasey's hall is under flying
colors and the headquarters at the top of the
truck. Either the headquarters must be NOV
ed across the street or The flag reversed ac-
cording to the Argus ITSELF CoPPERHEAD.
BEoUEsTs.-By the last will aud testament
of Captain Robert III. Pearson, formally of this
City, but later OF San Francisco, it appears that
he leaves to our respected townsman, his
cousin, Lieut.. Charles w. Roberts, Adjutant
of the 18th Maine Volunteers, $4,000 in curren-
cy, for his gallant conduct in the service of his
country, having lost his right leg in the battle
OF Gettysburg" To various relatives, friends,
&C., he bequeaths articles of personal property
and sums of money, ranging from $3.50 to
$4,000, in all about $4,000; and directs
that his executors shall keep and preserve the
remainder of his estates real and personal,
which shall be invested in real estate or good
bonds during the lives of his two sisters, and
until the youngest of their children attain the
age of twenty-one years. Meantime they are
to pay out of the income of his estate to his
sister Mary E. Churchill, $4,000 in currency
annually during her natural life; and also to
pay to his sister Nancy Dale, $1,000 annually
during her natural life, and the residue of the
estate to other relatives"

THE CoPPERHEADs ON CoPPER-The Bos-
ton Post seeing the desperate condition of it's
party in this State has come to its rescue The
Post is said to be the originator of the idea,
since adopted by minor Democratic journals,
of introducing ROSTERS into its columns in
stead of ideas. Before this course was taken
they had neither ideas nor ROSTERS The
Post says that our Maine Congressman will be
unable to appear before our people this fall
with any confidence because they voted for
the bill introduced by Schenck just before the
adjournment for increasing the duty on cop
per ore. In doing so it is alleged that they
evinced a willingness to add to the burdens
that Cypress shipbuilding. The disadvan-
tage that the Post and those papers that copy
from it labor under is that they lie. A refer
ence to the reports of Congressional proceed
ings on the day when the copper tariff bill
was under consideration shows that Messrs
Lynch, Perham, Blaine and Pike did not
vote, while Mr.. Peters voted against order
ing the main question on the passage of the
bill. 1t is further alleged that the parliament
airy tactics of the Democrats defeated the bill.
The Globe will show most conclusively that
Banks of Massachusetts, must receive what
ever credit may be due for defeating the bill.

Mr. Small denies that he ever had check for

Gardiner, the same being reward to the lat
ter for deserving the Democrats. Mr. Small
says that Clay will speak for himself when the
proper time comes.
