TE5E; TICKET,

We place at the head of our paper, this
week, the ticket nominated at the Repub-
lican State Convention, which assembled at
Harrisburg, on Wednesday last. The ut
most harmony prevailed among the mem
bers. and as the same spirit accompanied all
their acts, it is but fair to presume that the
ticket will be elected by heavier majority
that that, even which so glorifed our triumph
last fall. And there is no reason why it
should not.
The Hen. r. ". Mackey, for State
Treasurer, has conducted the duties, of that
Office for four years past, in a manner which
challenges the closest scrutiny; and IN no IN
stance has he for moment, swervcd, from
a close subservience of the best interest of
both the people and the State. By his op-
ponentS and the opponents of true Republi-
canism. he has been made to occupy the
position, and to deserve the name, of the
best abused man in the State But nothing
could drive him from managing the financial
interests of the Commonwealth and the peo
!'le in any other manner than that dictated
by the most unyielding sagacity and honesty.
He has been accused of every thing that was
bad in financial officer, but, close investiga-
has shown that the exact reverse OF this was
characteristic of the man, and that his duties
were all performed with singular honesty Of
purpose, and determination to deserve, as
he has achived the reputation, of the faith
iul public officer As reward for his
efficient services the people demanded his
nomination, and the Convention yielded TO
that demand. The result in October will
show the wisdom of the nomination
For Judge of the Supreme Court, We have
the name of the Hon. Isaac Gordon, of
Jefferson county. Judge Gordon has had
experience as a District Judge and his deci-
sions in that capacity prove him TO he an ac-
complised Lawyer, and Jurist whose clear
ness Of perception and knowledge of Law
peculiarly fit him for the position to which |
he has been nominated 1t is not claimed
for the Judge that he is brilliant orator,
but, which is infinitely better, and what we
need more, that he is sound, cogent rea-
soner, and so we'll posted in all the instricacies

There were other good names before the
Convention for both positions, but after
mature deliberation, Hon. r. W. Mackey
an1 Hon. Isaac Gordon, were picked as the
standard bearers Of Republicanism this fall, |
and il is gratifying to learn that the warmest
advocates the ticket now has, are those who
were made to yield that these might be ad-
Vanced.
The Democracy viii go through the mo-
fions of inaugurating their side of the cam
paign on Wednesday next, but as they have
no hope of success, there will be neither love
nor enthusiasm in the work The delegates

of the good citizens of Wilkes Barre, draw

rubbish in which the defeats of the past bur
rled them, and then go home and prepare to
be whipped as usual.
