TUUltSPAY, MAY 1. 1S4S, The County Convention, Which was held on Saturday last, resulted in the harmonious nomination of a full ticket for the August election, as followa : For Representative, N. B. Web
ber, of Lawrence township, and Y. E. R. Wilson, of
Decatur township; for Auditor, Nathaniel Bolton; for Assessor, Ahira WelU ; Commiveioner, John Mc-
Better selections could hardly have been made. The candidates for representatives are both good men,
in the best sense of the word. In nominating them,
the convention merely gave force and effect to a dis position of the democratic public mind, already form
ed. For months previous to the convention, we heard hardly any other names mentioned in connection with
K nffir tn which thev have been nominated. And
they were thus fixed apofl, not because of any elec
tioneering on their part ; but simply because by a
sort of unanimous consent, they were regarded as
the best men who could be selected. We are quite
11 r that thev are worthy of this partiality, of the
people, and that, if they should be elected, the expec
tations of their friends will be more, than answered.
They are sound, practical, common sense men, whose interest is entirely identified with that of the great
body of their fellow citizens, and whose characters
are without 6pot or blemish. W e Will answer for it, that the people can find no men, to whom they could
more safely delegate their power in the General As tembly of the State.
. Our friend Nat Eolton was nominated for Auditor
by the spontaneous and unsolicited action of the Con
Tention, and without any anticipation of such an honor on his part. One who like him has wielded the
weapons of political warfare, must almost una voida
bly make some personal enemies, and we suppose be
has bis full snare. A man without enemies, is indeed a "poor stick." But we hope, nevertheless, that Mr. Bolton will be able to overcome all difficulties in this and every other respect. He is wfl qualified for the office, and if the people 6hould elect him, we have no doubt that he will faithfully and efficiently execute its duties.
Ahira Wells, nominated for Assessor, is just as good
a man as could have been selected
Assessor is a very important one : it touches, nearly, every tax-payer's pocket. In fillirtg it, therefore, we should look after some better qualification than lameness, whether of judgment or limb. Integrity and sound judgment are essential requisites, and Ahira Wells possesses them to as great an extent as most men. John McFall, for Commissioner, is like püre göld. He has been tried and not found wanting. We have only time and room now to say--scccess to him !

the gratification it will give Mr. E.'s friends, it will
prove to the satisfaction of ail, that the President has

part in politics who has toiled abd borne the heat
and burden of the day, who has stead.iy pursued the even tenor of bis way, neither swerving to the right
nor to the left, Mr. Ellsworth has necessarily made enemies, not enly among his political opponents, but among that class of Democrat denominated "Parlor
Politicians. The appointment, then, may give the latter class temporary offence. But the sterling democracy will praise the President for the selection.
As much has already been said on the subjects, and
probably more will be said, a better opportuuity will present itself for us to enlarge upon them. At pres
ent, for the information of those cf Mr. Ellsworth's
friends who are anxious on this matter, we shall add
a few comments of a different nature. And first, we will add a few words as to the country of Mr. Es rtsidence, as some have found a difficulty in accounting for our former statement that Mr. E. was appointed Charge to Sweden and Norway. Sweden is a kingdom in the north of Europe, comprising Sweden properly so called, Sorxray, and Swedish Lapland, which countries contain Hie prin
cipal part of ancient Scandinavia. Sweden proper
is bounded N. by Lapland, E. by ths gulf of Both
nia, S. by the Baltic, and W. by Norway. Length 10C0 miles from north to south ; breadth 3C0 from
cast to west. Finland was ceded to Russia in 1809,
and romerania to Prussia in 1511; in compensa
tion for which, Sweden accepted Norway, which was
annexed to her dominion, making the whole area cf
the kingdom about 313,000 square miles
Though mountainous on the north and West, the
Dofrine mountains separating Norway from Sweden, it is in general a level country. It is well watered
by rivers, and Contains many lake?, some of consider
able magnitude. A canal between the Wcnner and
Wetter, uniting the Baltic with the German sea, was
completed in 1930, and cost about 85,000,000. Twcn

Among the former are iron, silver and copper. It

We learn from the true American, that Col. A. T.
WHiGnr, of Pike county, died at his residence a few

The capital of the kingdom is Stockholm, at which
place Mr. Ellsworth will reside. The other principal
cities are Upsil, famous for its University ; Gotten-
burg, a large seaport, and Carlscrona, the station of
the Royal Navy. Tiie only colonial possession of
Sweden is St. Bartholomew's, in the West Indies.
Swedish merchants and sailors, however, may be found
in various parts of the world, and we vouch that the
latter are good shipmates and no "soldiers." No na
tion has at different periods been more distinguished
for a martial spirit, and under some of their kings
they were the terror and admiration of Europe.

vus III. effected a revolution, by which be gained the most essential royal prerogatives, without being an absolute monarch. He was as3asinated in 1792, and
his son, Gustavus Adolphus attained his majority and
ascended the throne in 170Ö. This prince was de
posed in 1909, and his uncle, the Duke of Sudcrmania was called to the . throne. In consequence of the death of his son, the Crown Prince, he assembled a
Swedish diet, to chcoce a successor to the throne. The diet met, August, 1310, and afier a short speech

was succeeded by his son Oscar, said to be the hand
somest man in Europe. A correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Ledger, writing from Brussels, under date of
Dec. 1314, says of the present kirig ": 1

on which hi fuller was but an intrdder, is the love and affection of Jiia people. What Bernadotte took nt the point ol tlio sword, he has to preserve by wisdom and
moderation. 1 he legitimate heirs of tbe ihrune ot Ijus-
tavus are yet living: one of thern Is' a General in the Austrian army, so that from the old representative of legitimacy in Enrope, no succor could be expected in time of need. In one word, the present Kins; of Sweden knows that he is a partenu the same as Locis Philippe, in spite of his noble extraction and that, therefore, be has to create a power within the State, on which to lean in time of need. Louh Philippe has the national guard and the small shopkeepers and manufacturers of Prance; the King of Sweden has the peasantry, and. in truth, the
whole mass of the laborin classes, to rely on in case of
danger from within or without. Une of the first things proposed by him, on mounting t'ie throne, was the icmodelling of the Constitution of thecountry ; but in what ensalhe reforms are tu be made is best illustrated by the following fact: One of the officers of the Royal Guards, or regiments ot dragoons, took a port, in the elections, and attempted to advise the people as to the manner in which they should act in the present crisis. The King, learning ol it, without punishing the oßicer, merely wrote to the commander of the regiment, and informed him that it caused him much sorrow to learn that the minis, ters of power, those who should have nothing to do with the making of the law, whose duty, in fuel, consisted merely in aiding the rzecutite. and who, on that account, are the very worst and most dangerous persons to meddle with popular affairs, had taken part in the solution ol the great problem proposed J) y the dwedieh nation. II hoped such things would not occur again and that the military would strictly attend to the narrowly defined line of their duty. What a lesson this to the world aud especially to the other Slates of Europe In France, Prussia and Spain ! and imparted, too, by the son of a parvenu gtnerul! By the by, I might remark here, that of all the sovereigns of Europe, the only two which are admitted to possess talents ot an uncommon order are those which have succeeded to the throne inconsequence of popular revolutions; the rest are dull and common-place, in proportion to the purity of their pedigrees. What a comment this on the principle of legitimacy ! The fact is,
the crowned, heads, or wigs of Europe, have been murr) ing cousins until their blood has become as poor as their treasury, to that, independent of the democratic tendencies of the age, the race must, in the course of a century, become extinct by the process of natural laws."
The government of Sweden is a limited monarchy,
and its religion the Lutheran Protestant, under the
Upsal and thirteen Bishops. The title of the sovereign i3 "King of Norway and Sweden," which two countries however, have different constitutions. The
Diet of Sweden consists of four orders, viz : 1st, nobles hereditary ; 2d, bishops and clergy ; 3d, merchants and citizens ; 4th, peasants or agriculturists.
Each of these bodies deliberate separately. The Diet has the right of legislation and taxation, but the king has an unqualified vctd.
Stockholm, the city where Mr. Ellsworth will re
side, is the capital of Sweden, with a castle, a mag
nificent palace, and several other handsome public buildings. It occupies, besides two peninsulas, seven rocky islands, between the Lake Maeler, and a bay
of the Paltic, and is remarkable for its romantic sccne-

Speech Making. We often hear the objection raised against a man
spoken of for office, that "he is no orator" "he can't make a speech." To a great extent this grows out of our "stump" speech making custom, borrowed
from the 'Hustings" of Old England, but which ma
ny imagine so exclusively democratic. . It can only
be very popular among people too ignorant or too indolent to read ; and to say the best of it, the tystem
of stump electioneering gives the biggest rascal, as often as the best orator, the best chance. There is
not one man in a thousand who will not endeavor to
modify his speethes in such case to accommodate the
opinions or prejudices of his auditory. Oratory is a
a good gift, both to speaker and hearer but a man may give advice who is no orator and he who can give advice skilfully on general matters of legislation
though he be as little of an orator as Moses, is cap
able of being a statesman. How many individuals are there of this stamp, who seldom open their lips in the Jegislative hall, except to read a motion or to say
a few wordd of explanation, who are yet active on
committees, and skilful in making reports. Yet such men are generally either eloquent in conversation,
or capable of writing with power. Every legislator
should be capable of giving and receiving advice
He should, not be too wise in his own conceit to ask
advice of any individual nor too ignorant to afford
his proportion of advice on matters which he ought
to understand." The people 6end their representative
to give advice as well as to vote on important questions. He should be capable of adding something to
the wisdom of the whole body, or the people should
keep him at home employed about his own business
Polly Bodiue has been convicted at New York of
the murder of her sister-in-law, Mrs. Houseman, on Long Island, an account of which wc published some
time ago. The prisoner received her sentence, while in her seat, with apparent firmness and did not weep until she had reached the door way. Her son, Albert, (who is a remarkably fine looking youth,) was the only member of her family who was present and accompanied his mother out of Court. He wept hitterly. The jury recommended the wched woman to , mercy. . ...
