with this position as candidates Wheth'
er Mr.. Parks desires denomination or
not. we are uniformed; but should he,
there is strong probability that he Will
succeed. lie has made coed record in
the three or four terms OF his service,
and gained many friends who will cheers
fully support him if repaired to DO So
We believe that since the creation OF
the Office of County Supt., Vt has never
been filled by a man from the Souhren
District of the County and never asked
for in any Republican, convention for
Southern District man. In view OF these
facts, there would be no impropriety IN
the reservation Of name fyom this sec
ZION; and supposing it may be done, we
would suggest the name of Capt WIN,
MARTYR, Of the town Of Mineral Point.
Capt NJ. is recognized by all who know
him as one cf the best fitted men for the
Superintendency that can possibly be
found in the County. His educational
qualifications are second to those Of bat
few men in the West he is an educator
by profession, and most successful one,
as trial has proved.
We do not know that Capt. MARTIN
will allow bis name to 90 before the con-
vention, or that he would accept the
nomination If rendered him. Our sug>
gestion of his name is wholly without
his knowledge or authority ) We nomi-
nate him on our own motion, confident
that q better fttod or more worthy man
cannot be named for the Office.

The Republican Co, Committee issue
their call, in this paper, for n County
Convention to be hold ut Dodgeville,
August 18th to nominate a candidate for
Co. Superintendent of schools, and to
elect delegates to represent the County in
the Republican state convention.
The committee earnestly hope to see
full convention, each town represented.
The Office of County Superintendent is
quite an important one, and to secure the
success OF our party at the coming cleo.
ton, it is important that a first class,
conn etcnt, unobiectionable man should
be put in nomination. Besides, tho mat.
ter Of securing an effective set Of dole>
gates to the state convention that the
sentiments Of the people in relation 10
state officers may be recognized, is OF
importance sufficient to secure good
attendance, At least ID would seem 30
IL is recommended that caucuses be
held IN the several towns ahou: the 23d
Town committees, and all Republicans
are urged to give this matter attention,
80 that there may be no possibility of
dissatisfaction with the action of the con
veution. We have always argued, and
still contend, that the members ef n party
who neglect to avail themselves Of eppor,
tunities to influence the notion of con,
venton, have no moral right to complain,
il that action is not according to their
wishes.

bear no comparison 10 the parade of the
Orangemen. Such a celebration would
be held in any nation as an insult to the
Government, if not an act OF rebellion
while the arrangements parade did not in
the least reflect upon the government,
nor could it possibly lead to rebellion.
The difference might be summed up thus;
One would be insulting the dignity of
the United States the other only annoy
inc TO a few democrat citizens.
