Year: 1862

Disearding some peculiar notions, which all
possess, Of nature too trifing to affect ones
course, the ticket We present to-day is worthy
the hearty support of every Union-loving honest
man in the State. We have no need OF referring
to our course previous to the assembling OF the
Convention. Representing the views Of the Peo-
pie of Davis county, we took our stand upon the
call, but to he more liberal still, we urged that
the name be dropped, expressing at the time an
implicit obedience to the course adopted by the
majority of our party. They have seen fit to
mark out different course, and we cheerfully
acquiesce. 1t is happy that men Of such unex
ceptionable character have been presented


Objections will be raised by the disaffected
and secession elements, preparing to take the
field, to the selection of both Congressman and
Governor from the same locality. No sane man
can man find one other fault, of any nature, of
the ticket But what, in reality, does such an
objection amount to? There is nothing that it
cannot affect but local pride. The man who
allows such 9. feeling to control him is unfit to
exercise the elective franchise. It will be with
out feathers weight. But more Of this here
after.


In the person of Mr. Wilder. our State will
have Representative on the floor of Congress,
whose sagacity, energy, and ability, will allow
none of its many interests to wane, or be over
looked His steadfastness to principles, and
consistency in all things, will have their weight
at the Capitol, and keep our State in the van Of
the colur:n of Freedom and Free Labor.
In the present condition of our State affairs-
when bankruptcy and ruin stare US in the face
| the wisdom of the Convention, in its selection
of candidate for Governor, is truly noteworthy.
! An honest, plain, unassuming, straightforward
business man is placed forward for the position.
Free from all the intrigues of politician-fresh
from his own counting room-with spotless
private character-and the utmost success attend
| ing all his business operations-Mr. Carney Is
| just the man to steer the Ship of State amid the
financial breakers which surround her. This
| will be the aim Of Mr.. Carney. and knowing his
| loyalty, he is just the man for the hour.
Another gratifying feature Of the ticket is the
position given to Professor Goodnow. We had
earnestly desired his nomination because OF his
fitness for the position, and will be pleased to
| give him q hearty support. Under his care our
school system will in short time be thorough.
| Mr.. Crawford was nominated for Secretary OF
State by acclamaton, which he unconditionally
accepted. We have since heard that he has
declined. We hope it is not true; We believe he
would add strength to the ticket, and We are
confident a better man cannot be found.
OF the remainder Of the ticket, the Leaven-
worth Times says it is supert1uous to speak
Mr. Osborn is a self made man, Of good abilities
and with an unimpeachable political record lie
| will devote his energies to the welfare of the
State, making that a paramount consideration.

his nomination for re. election will prove salts

ties. and will fill the position as Auditor in
manner creditable to himself and the State.


Mr. Spriggs is spoken of as gentleman in all
respects qualified for the position to which he
has been nominated.


Mr.. Guthrie, the candidate for Attorney Gen
eral is emphatically rising man, a lawyer OF
far more than average ability. and one to whom
the welfare of the State will be sacred duty.
