dc Reeister,s Complaint.


The Register complains Of US for not pub
fishing the proceedings Of the Convention
How coald we publish what We never received
We made every effort to procure a copy from
official sources but none was to be had, aud
we then from our own notes and private infor-
nation published the results Of their action
both here and at Duffield's
The oficers-if the officers. of the Conven-
ton reported the prOceedings-had better OPP
portunity to give them TO usthsn to the Regis
ter; bad they been, IN the usual way we would
have published them: but we didn't care to
play second fiddle to our ShepherdstOwn con-
temporary.
1t is not true, as alleged in that paper, that
the Free Press failed to give the names Of the
nominees of said Convention. We not only
did that but exposed the manner in which they
were foisted upon the people.
Il is amusing, rather, to see journal which
claims to be Independent and upon that pre-
tex, refusing to publish any Ticket without
pay Except that of which the Dulield's Ticket
was a supplement- arraigning US for real or i'm
aginary omissions OF all things, in these
queer times even, did we little expect zeal on
the part of the Register-the accredited organ
Of the Radicals IN Jeflerson-for nominations
made by Conservatives aud Democrats.

The Radical Programme.

From letter from a friend at Farmont,
Marion County, we extract the following para
graphs, giving some insightinto features Of the
canvas in that part Of the State
Radicals and some Union Democrats con-
tinually denounce the candidates on our ticket
who were Ccufederates, because they were
such, while they support Col. Tom Swan their
Presidential elector and propose instead Of Maj.
Mathews to run Maj. Fitzbug9 the Champion
Of Gov. Jacob and an ex-Confederate officer,
and instead of Maj IIaymend Col Hoffman
or Mr.. Powell to run Judge Edmiuston a
States-right Democrat Tho voted for the ordi-
nance of secession but failed to stand 10y his
action. The Republicans, if possible, are de-
termned to drive the Jacob men to support a
full opposition ticket composed of men, prin-
cipally Of their own party who are opposed to
the Constitution. intended to send you some
extracts from Republican papers containing re-
Elections and reproaches but do not lay my
hands on them. Marion County will send
greeting to her Democratic sister counties a
majority Of over two hundred for Ratification
and the entire State Ticket nominated at Par

John w. Grantham, Esq.

We are not little surprised to see the name
Of this gentleman announced in the Shepherds
town Register as an Independent candidate for
Che State Senate. We very much fear that
Mr.. Gfa;; Cham has given ear to bad advisers,
and been induced to lend his name for the pur-
pose of distracting and dividing the Demo
cratic and Conservative party Of this Senate
rial district. Mr., Grantham's name was be-
fore the Senatorial Convention held in this
place, and was withdrawn, as stated, because
Mr.. G. did not desire to go to the Senate
Mr.. Grautham, if we are tightly informed,
approved Of the nominations then made, and
has given them his support up to within the
past few days His conduct in this matter, is,
to say the least, very strange and Incompetent
sible. There is wheel within wheel "
somewhere, which may become more trans
parent before the election MartiRsbwg Era.

mr.. Grantham an Independent.

We regret very much that Mr.. John W Gran
tham has placed himself virtually, in opposition
TO tbc interests of the party which so recently
elected him to the responsible and honorable posi-
ton Of Legislator, the duties of which he per
formed with much satisfaction to the people. As
the nominee Of the Democratic'C Conservative party
he received the votes Of that party and was tri-
umPhantly elected; as an opponent Of the regular
nominee Of said party, without scntilla ofexcuse,
so FAR learn, for such opposition, he must
inevitably distract the party, destroy its unity and
jcopaidize the election OF Mr. Wilson-who was
faithful, earnest iudeiatigable representative
suPplant him by a coalition with the enemies Of
the dominant party.
His name having been submitted to the Distrit,
Convention, and it being Withdrawn by friend
subsequently having congratulated Mr.. Wilson on
his nomination, good faith, it seems to Us, would
Of itself suggest the Propristy of Mr.. Grantham's
giving to the regular nominee the support due him
as such. We hope De will reconsider, an retire
from the field. Remaining upon it, a Radical
may be elected, or, Mr.. G.. being successful under
existing circumstances, color would be given to
reports, already circulated, that he has been
willing listener 30 the willy propositions Of tbe Rad
icais, who love him Ho. more but Senator Wilson

"a Locker On. .


We have purposely refrained from repelling

TAere are slvays men with minds and hearts
too narrowed toiuclule augbt that lies beyond
,hc range Of their vision, anil with snch men
we never argue. And it was perfectly natu-

Our neighbor, the Shsphrdsto'rn Register
has acted otherwise. aud its columns have
toemed with elimination Of oar people-ciito-
rial anil contributed The m 1st marked speci-
men of this abuse was a letter in the issue Of
Ju,v 2Tth. in which a writer, protesting to de-
scribe the County Convention, blended with a
distorted and imaginary report of its proceed

nitv. For The letter itself we have no word Of
criticism. but the Ry,sier introduced i, as

Now we have in our possession evidence in

not from the other sde Of the county" but
from uejghboring iowa on the Potomt,; that
/. was written not by a Democrat or C)nserva-
tive. but by R,iie,l; and lastly, not by
yrginian, but by an alien TO our people, our

And we ask the Register, in all sincerity, is
It proper for a Jefferson County paper to invite
and endorse abuse of our party by an enemy
to it, abuse Of gallant C1ufclerates by an AZ
tqo5e Of the Federal army or abuse Of our peo-
pie by one who is a stranger to them ?

that It's Conservative vote lacks only twenty
