II will be seen by reference to the cal

mouth, that delegate convention was
anticipated at Wanatah. Ii men meet in
convention and are not willing to submit
to the will of the majority, they arr poor
material to represent a Republican people.
We recognize The counties 81. Joseph and
Marshall as Senatorial district, one par
ticular locality of which holds no supre-
macy over Other loca' tiles In the district.
II these counties represent Senatorial
district it is recognized as n unit, and not
as three units or rcrts. With joint
representative il is quite different. In
this case each OF the counties of ST. Joseph
and Marshall is entitled to representative
and jointly, 10 third. In this casa the
counties are recognized. while In the
matter Of Senator the district is recog

Without further consideration Of the right
or wrong of the nomination made, let US
look at the course of the Democrat.
The lank Editor of the sweet scented,
seven months W. & V. concern attended
the convention, industrIously penciled his
notes during the proceedings, some of
which we briefly noticed. In last weeks
issue this remarkable Journal, edited by
VanValkeuburgh and Mcdonald and
controlled by Wheeler & Co. says, in

have been so exercised on the Republican
Senatorial convention, and then goes on
with words, phrases and sentences approx
lug the course of few whom they I'M
wardly hate and despise. what is their
object We think the cause ia sufficiently
trunspaIaeni TO be seen through by every
Republican who is acquainted with the
previous and present character of this
bireling sheet. Seeing and hearing the
dissatisfaction ola few and hoping they
aided by their soft and still praises
will feel themselves so aggrived as to-
withhold their support and Influence from
the regular nominee, they think they can
discover hope of Democratic success in
this district; and as consequence of their
success, can see a brick block in the dis
lance, looming mp in Plymouth. But We
think If we are not much mistaken in the
Republican character OF the men-that
the Democrat praises are lost on the
heavy air OF Yellow river. such fond
embraces are understood, We conclude
by every Republican within the narrow
limits of the w. & V. organs circulation
consequently the energy had better be

county nominees, about whom there is so
much talk and evident disaffection. The
Democrats condemnation of the Reptb-
iicdn for not hawking over the Senatorial
matter is another evidence Of its desire to
distract and d;sorgau!ze for the purpose of
advancing the political interests Of its
matters. We love party organ which
lsbors for the induction of unity and har-
mony in its own party, as the Repusticdn
las done. and such condemnation as the
Democrat administers will only work n
benefit. In conclusion, we trust every
Republican in the district, where the
pesti'ential sheet circulaies, will probably
understand the strategy; and that those
who have received copperhead praise
will consider it worse than scandle,-
If necessary we shall speak further At
some future tine.
Yours tremendously. ELIXIR,
