TOO THIN, GENTLEMEN.

The Republican this week copies an article from the Monticello Herald, which Newbold, the presiding officer of the con. vention at Monon which nominated Mr. Milroy, refused at the last moment to properly acknowledge the certificate of nomination, tho’ notified by Clerk Bbearley to do so," Clerk Brearley is Democratic Clerk of White county, has given very general satisfaction, and is the candidate of the party for re-election. — It is, therefore, hardly probable that Mr. Brearley found insisting upon Chair man Newbold, up to the last moment, to properly acknowledge the certificate of nomination, when it is no part of his duty to so, and in opposition to a purported deal on hand in the interest of his party, complains that John B. Milroy’s name for Congress, on the People’s ticket, was not certified up to the Circuit Clerks throughout the District, and insinuates that “there is good ground for suspicion that there has been an attempt to sell the People’s party out in the interest of the Democratic candidate for Congress,” oy Chairman Newbold. But the Herald, in the same article, knocks its theory of a “sell out," and the party in whose interest it is purported to have been made, mean out, by the admission that “no certificate of his (John B. Milroy’s) nomination has been filed with the county clerks, as required by law, and the peculiar part of the case ie that Chairman It is very evident, if there was a “sell out” on hands, it was in the interest of W. D Owen.

From all over the State we hear the most cheering news. We are on the eve of an overwhelming Democratic victory. Billy Owen will be shelved in this Congressional District. Jasper county will have the honor of furnishing the next Congressman. Notwithstanding our neighbor's assertion that ther is no defection in Cass county, Billy Owen will be badly snowed undet there. SIO,OOO worth of fine horses were disposed ff at the Rensselaer Stock Farm the other day. Beware of false reports circulated on election day to deceive the unwary.
