The Nomination of Mr.. Smith -
A Voice from Brown County.

GEORGETOWN, Aug. $, 1870.
EDITOR OF THE NEws-Sir: BY
your permission l would like to
say few words through your pa
per, relative to the nomination Of
the Hon. John A, Smith for re-elec
ton to Congress, by our Congress
sional Convention that assembled
at your place last week.
The nomination Of Mr.. Smith
gives general satisfaction to the
Republican voters of Brown coun-
ty, and he will receive a larger vote
in this county this fell than he did
on his last election. To say that he
will receive a unanimous support
from our party would be saying too
much, for we have a few (and but
few men in our party here who in
their own estimation seem to think
that they were born for no other
purpose but to hold Office, or con
troll nominations, and as a matter
of course when any of these natural
office -seekers-these men who have
a pre-. emption right to every Office
in the country, or to control every |
nomination, are defeated, or any of
their claims for office rejected by .
the people, the result is terrible
howl, and from the noise they make .
one not acquainted with them wo'd !
think their number was Legion, |
and closely related to the legion
that some eighteen hundred years
ago, by sufferance, took up their
residence in the swine, to the great !
CONSERVATION Of the. people of Ger
gesene. But these men are well
known by the rank and file of our
party, and as a matter of course,
being well known, their influence
will be hardly felt by the October
election.
We have heard these men bluster
and swear before, what great things |
they were going to do, but have yet
to see the results of their action,
only in noise and smoke. Their |
action at the Convention in which
Mr.. Smith was nominated, is q fair
index to t0hat they will DO. TAX
ing their report as true, they had y
large majority in that Convention
for Mr.. Loudon, but before a single .
vote was taken, withdrew from the
Convention, leaving the minority
in full possession of the field
The influence of such men as
these extends only to their own
vote and no further. The delega-
ton from this county was appoint
ed by our County Convention, and
not by the townships. If each
Township had had the chance to
appoint or elect its own delegates,
or if the Convention had not in
