'-tlts tll- ' orn.tina' o years it has been the fortune of the writer to attend no political con-1 Teution so thoroughly admirable in every respect as tnai wuicu oroeT togetherthe Democracy of tuiirora county last Saturday. Iu num bers it would have formed an ade- quate representation for a Congres sional or Judicial districtj in char, acter arid intelligence the views, the interests, the opinions of the property owners, the tax payers, the business, the trades, the pro fessions in a word, the' best citi zenship of the town and county were embodied; in the earnestness, the dignity and the zeal which cha racterized every step of its pro ceedinga it was a very remarkable assemblage; "composed of factions (in the best sense of that word) who esjioused the claims of their favorites with loyal friendship and unshaken fidelity, the consumma tion of the nominations found them welded together in one harmonious, united whole, with shields locked and shoulders interlaced, for the coming battle in behalf of the clearly expressed choice ot an over whelming majority! Best of all most significant of all from the moment at which Mr. Frbis called the convention to order until the hour in the afternoon when it ad journed upon the completion of its work, there attached to no resolu tion, no utterance from any dele gate, no nomination for any posi tion, the suspicion of ring manage ment or machine manipulation. This was a mass" meeting in the aezreeate of eighteen townships of one of the largest counties in the State, aud the accomplishment of its work was the result of the combined judgment and will of every Democrat there assembled, i Will the county ticket succeed at the noils in November next? Doubt less there were some who returned to their homes last Saturday, una ble for a time to keep down a feel ing of disappointment over the failure of their own hopes or the aspirations of their frieuds; but we will not do them the injustice to believe that these natural feelings have found permanent lodgment in their minds, or will prove an obstacle to victory. But the action ot the nominating convention must be emphasized, by the work of the campaign; onr labors have but just commenced, and the enthusiasm ef that great meeting the other day must Inar its fruit iu compelling the full vote ot the party at the polls. With nominees who have beeu honored with the confidenceof their fellow citizens the maturely and deliberately made choice ot a large majority of those who represent the morality, the mtegnty aui tne intelligence of the county it is our dutv now to justify our selec tion by leaving no effort nnmatle which shall place them in the posi tions for which weTfave declared them worthy.
