The Nominations.

ber election, and so far as we know,
performed the duty satisfactorily. The
candidates were not numerous, but all
who appeared before the convention
for the few offices to be filled were rep
utable men, and but little mis- take
could be made in the choice. The
best feeling appeared to prevail as
we'll in the convention as amongst the
aspirants, which afforded gratifying
evidence that their canvasses were
honorably made and left few, if any
sores or heart burnings to be healed.
The party, therefore comes before the
people with a ticket of their own
choice, placed in nomination with
singular unanimity and will be elected
beyond peradventure.
For Congress the denomination Of
our able and distinguished Represen-
tative, the Hon. Andrew G.. Curtin,
was unanimously endorsed and Con-
ferees authorized to meet and consult
the Conferees of other counties Of the
district with view to solicit general
concurrence.
For State Senator, the Hon. Cyrus
r. Alexander was also unanimously
presented for reelection, and Conferees
appointed to meet the Conferees of
Clearfeld and Clinton, and ask their
concurrence.
For Assembly, Henry Meyer of
Miles township and Benz. f. Hunter
of Benner township, are the nominees
of the Convention, and the candidates
of the Democratic party. They are
men of character and standing. Mr..
Meyer served number of years as SUI
perintendent of schools in this county
with great ability and decided success.
A gentleman of accomplished educa
ton and rare intellectual attainments,
he will make discreet capable legis-
lator, in whose integrity and upon
whc1e honor the people will rely with
implicit faith for honest service, and
honest principle to guide that service
in legitimate channels for the public
good. Mr.. Hunter is respectable
farmer. This will be his first expert
ence in public life, which we hope will
be one of honor to himself and COM
pensating to his constituents and his
party.
For Jury Commissioner, J. II. Tai
bert, Of Walker township, is the nomi-
nee. Capt. Talbert is one of our most
esteemed citizens, very competent to
discharge the duties of the Office, and
his designation by the county conven-
ton is a deserved recognition of a
faithful and consistent Democrat.
For Coroner, our talented young
medical friend, DR.. III. X. Hoy, of this
place, is the coming man, having re-
ceived hattering and marked en-
dorsement Of the convention.
Thus the Democracy of Centre
county are again to the front, with a
full ticket of approved candidates for
all the offices to be voted for this fall.
The meu placed upon the ticket are
now the representatives of the Demo-
cratic party, chosen according to its
usages and customs to give force and
effect to its principles. We do not
propose to say that the ticket is the
best that could have been made, for
we would not thus reflect upon the
/. unsuccessful candidates before the
convention, amongst whom were men
Of eminent ability and of high merit
as Democrats and citizens, who would
have done credit to the party and
commanded general respect and con-
fidence had they been chosen. But
their turn had not yet arrived, and it
now behooves all who desire the sue.
cess of the Democratic cause and the
perpetuity of Democratic principles,
to- merge personal difference, if any
exist, in the general good. Let union

be closed up and a united front pre-
sented to the enemy. 1t is the old en-
emy-the same who are known as the
apologists of fraudulent apportion-
ments, and the abettors of crime in
falsifying the ballot-the same who
