Voice of the Press on the Congressional
and Judicial Nominees.

Below we give extracts from leading DEM
ocratic papers in this Congressional District
giving their views upon the ticket which
has been presented
In our issue of last week, we spoke OF the
action of the Democratic Judicial Conven-
ton, in nominating Hon. John A. Lynch
for Associate Judge, tor this Judicial Cir
cult Such action upon the part OF the Con-
vention, was brought about in conformity
with the expressed wishes of this county,
who, without dissenting voice, called upon
Mr.. Lynch TO again present his name for
the approval of his fellow citizens. The
Convention at the same time recognized the
claims of Montgomery county, and nom-
mated Hon. George Peter for the Associate
Judge from that county. After one of the
most earnest and exciting primaries ever
held in that good old Democratic district,
Mr. Peter was declared the choice of the
Democracy, over Hon. VIM. Veirs Bouic,
by majority of nearly two hundred. 1t
has never been intimated that the primaries
were any thing but fair and honorable in
every way, or that the voice OF the people
had been stifled, and in consequence of such
action upon the part of Montgomery, Frede-
rick county most cheerfully gave her APP
In the nomination of Mr.. Peter, the people
have man who would make an honorable
and upright Judge, q gentleman learned in
the law, and one whose reputation has never
been sullied by the faintest breath of suspi-
cion. The whole-soul, generous character
of the man is proverbial throughout his
native county; no one has ever appealed to
him in vain, it has been the characteristic
of his name, as his father was one of the
most noble-hearted men that ever lived.
Mr.. Peter is now growing old, he has en-
gagged in many battles for his party, and is
an earnest, active worker. lie has been en-.
trusted with many of the most important
cases ever tried at the Rockville Bar, and
stands second to no man in Maryland for
honesty and conscientious regard for the
interests of those who entrust him with
their cases. Whatever may have been his
short comings, if any, this is the time for
the people of Frederick county to show
their respect for the choice OF our sister
county, and give Mr.. Peter generous and
noble support. If we wish to be Success
full ourselves, we must recognize the claims
Of others, and do with them rs we would
have them do with the choice of our own
people. Ii there be no question as TO the
ability of Mr. Peter or his honesty, or his
