The Sixth Of September Radical Me-

the DOSC ONCE al our IlSk.
The Sixth Of September Radical Me-
nagerie.
The Radical Ring and Clique of
this County have arbitrarily and with
out authority taken the selection of
candidates out of the hands of the
people, and appointed Saturday, the
9th of September, and the Court House
as the place, in which to give their
exhibition. The principal perfor-
nance will be "back-action," and it
will be shown how beautifully undie-
ing and patriotic sons of noble sires,
anxious and willing to serve the
"dear people" as Representatives, can
be tumbled outside of the RING with
put apparently the least danger of an
accident. There will be a good many
performers in this capacity, and some
very old stagers will turn up as con-
~tcstants, a few of whom we propose
to here enumerate, in order that the
voters of-the County may not be ig-
norant of the number that are willing
to offer themselves as sacrifices upon
the altar of the RING, for the good of
their country.
First OIL the list is u noble, patri-
otto and intelligent Representative,
Hon. Joseph Miller, brother of Bob,
t'Columbia's Orator." He has served
one term, and is entitled to the nomi-
,,fs0a H. ,1nooola1f fu-4 kor,ae IoSno
the rule iii this County. We don't
know whether 10. voted to censure
the .ssalary grabbcrs" or not. How
cver, he is u choice.
Second is Daniel Peters, of Somers
township, aud from long service in
the ranks as a private, and the amount
of dirty work he has performed for
the RING, his claims should not be
overlooked. But his residence will
defeat him.
Third. Dr. j. C. Gilmore who re-
sides in Israel, but edits a paper in
Butler county, will present his claims,
which will consist of his being an
anti-Mason, anti-Odd Fellow, anti
Son of Temperance, and the powerful
exertions he made i'll behalfof the
election of Gunckel, last fall. He is a
wonderful patriot by proxy, and that
is something in a Radical Convention.
Fourth. DR.. VIM. Low, of Lewis
burg, for the deep interest he mani
tested in behalf of Robert the eco
flumixed," might have a few votes to
merely keep him in the traces, but he
has not labored quite enough for the
Ring, to entitle him to Office.
Sixth. VIM. Smith, of Lanier.-
William has been diligent, faithful
and obedientto the Ring, for 10! these
many years, and done glorious service
for them last fall. "Billy" ought now
to be rewarded, as age will 500 ruin
his prospect, and we think it would
be to the interest of some of his COM
petitors TO lay off and give him what
his heart now yearneth for. Then
the Smith family ought to have a
Representative.
Sixth. Z. J.. Larsh will be about
the ablest person presented but the
Commissioners need his services in
building bridges, (for which Jefferson
is famous) and of cours he will be
left out of the mix.
Number seven to thirty-one and a
u, will include everything from G.
Shirley, Esq,-''up and down"-to
VIM. Acker, Jesse Stubs, A. Silver,
Esq, General, Colonel, Captain, Or
well, we believe our old "wind and
weather. friend, Judge Haines and
the dummy Tumble Bug of the Eator
Register, might be included.
Should any others "turn up" be
tween now and the day of the Con
ve%ntion, we will make note of it, but
in the meantime would advise "Bob
to pc on the alert, as the delegate
from the Frural districts" will be Sc
lected with a view of dispensing witt
the brilliant services of his brothe
10, from which indiscretion and I'M
kind doings, our County would sus
tain an ~irreparable injury, and tn
wants and necessities of the farmer
be entirely forgotten. Our voice i
first, last and all the time, for a secon'
term for 10 Miller.
