In Ja«p«r county the republicuu ticket ts complete, with iho weep tkm of * candidate for *nrtrcyor u»4 perhup* * few township office*. In a few more day* the democracy will h»*e made their nomination*, (what amount* to the name thing) their ‘‘recommendation*.’’— Our local ticket ia composed of men well known throughout the county, all bearing the reputation of respectability, with unblemished character, and undoubted ability. We expect to *ec the democracy nominate men ot equal private standing —men of like character pad ability. So far, then, there will dm no advantage, consequently the campaign will of necessity be confined strictly to political issues; and this is both wiso and proper.— We hold that the aim of both parties is to select the best men for office, so that principles may be truly represented and ihc public interests advanced. In this age and day of broad views and progressive principle*, individuals are the living acting representatives of ideas and when wc enter the field of political battle mere nun arc lost eight of and the contest is between right and wroug, and not between ueiglibors. This wc bold is the only honest way in which to conduct a campaign. The assertion that the election of cWOthty officers should not depend upon parties, is mere subterfuge that will not bear investigation, and which is otily resorted to by the weaker side. The politics of the State is controlled by the politics of the county aiul the administration of the general government is modified by the opinions of the States, and every snccesa or even partial succesa of the democracy in Jasper county has its influence which ia felt thonghout Indiana just as the biting of a flea annoys the whole physical body. It is these continual triumphs of individuals, of themselves insignificant, which in the end works the defeat o< a parly, and we should be ou the alert to present these annoying surprises. Then let us rise up from the two years of rest we have had in which to recuperate our flagging energies and prepare for the coming battle. Let no one be deceived by the- specious statement that it makes no difference which party triumphs in county elections, because those who talk so .know better; if they believe what they say why ip they electioneer for their own recommendations? Every man of them admits our candidates arc all good men.— There is cot one ot them who would dare attack the integrity of either of the gentlemen on our tk-ket, but they talk in this manner to secure the success of their party. We shall not question the ability of democratic candidates for we know the leaders will -take good euro not to have an incompetent man nominated, but we shall fight them as the representatives of political principles with which we are at variance, and tor which wc have no sympathy. This article has already become long enongh. It is not the intention to extend ft by a review of the most prominent measures of great public good that have had their origin in, and owe their success to, the republican party. These will be reviewed during the campaign. In conclusion we would suggest that n» attention be given to that individual who endeavors to build himself up upon the ruins of his neighbor’s reputation, but rather study which party advocates the principles and adopts the policy calculated to do the greatest good to the greatest number, and after your mind is fully decided cast your votes for its nominees. “Gen. Packard is re-nominated by a vote of 122 to 38 for all others. 78 votes would have nominated in a full A few, mostly the fricuds ot Anson Woleott, following his lead, from the convention, not willing to abide the decision of the party.”— Valparaiso Vkktte. The third sentence in this quotation is unfounded and unfair. First, the men who withdrew were not “mostly the friends of An6on Wolcott” in the sense of supporters. — The majority of them worked in., the interests of other men. Second; they were not “following bis lead.” Mr. Wolcott did not withdraw from the convention, consequently these men did not follow bins. Third, these gentlemen did not “bolt,” but, as one of them says; • “This movement is not a bolt, but a protest against a distasteful nomination. * * * We bad Sir'" *'. ■ ■

and have not any intention of bolting the nomination, but we ahallsupnort tho part/ this year from choice and not from necessity.— Oar position ia independent and consistent Looking beyond the present beyond mere men, wo sustain the principles of the party that gave freedom to the slave and preserved the nation from the assaults of traitors. Gen. Packard was not our man by a long shot, but our objections to the candidate are swallowed up in solicitude for the snoces* of the principles he advocates.” Iu the moment of triumph and in the flush of victory many hasty expressions are dropped which are not justified in the hour of mature reflection. The opponents of Gen. Packard honestly opposed him from a sense of conviction. They had no quarrel with the republican party and make no mar upon its candidates. Tlic VidcUt espoused the successful side. Its editor stands with the victorious. The triumphant can afford to be generous toward* the defeated. Let the !’•- itle not try to create bitterness, bat labor to secure harmony. Be magnanimous, Brother Gurney, bem'ise, tell tho truth and “let us have peace.”

Senatorial Convention.

Pursuant to a call made by the republican central committee, delegates from Benton, Newton, Jasper, Pulaski and White, the counties composing this senatorial district, met at Reynolds, July Ist, to nominate a candidate for State senator. On motion, Judge Alfred Reed, of Monticello, was called to the chair and the republican editors of the district appointed secretaries. A call of counties was ordered which showed that all were represented by delegates. On motion of Col. Hammond, of Jasper, the convention proceeded to name candidates for senator. — Mr. Lane, ot Pulaski, presented the name of Hon. Anson Wolcott, of White; Dr. Ritchey, of Jasper, the name of R. S. Dwiggins, of Rensselaer; Mr. Cowgill, that of Dr. Jonathan Lamborn, of Benton; 31 r. Foster, of Newton, that of James Wailaoe, of Kentland; Captain Agnew, Dr. I. B. Washburn and Mr. Spangler, of Pulaski, were also mentioned. Mr. Wolcott’s name was withdrawn, and the convention proceeded to ballot, dropping the lowest candidate each time, with the following result: FIEBT BALLOT. Lamborn Dwiggins Wallace Spangler Croton, 6 Jasper, S Newtun, 6 ■ Pulaski, • Whits, 8 2 1 Whole number of votes cast, 36; necessary to a choice, 19. Mr. Wallace was withdrawn, and convention proceeded to —’ — SECOND BALLOT. Lamborn Dwiggins _ Waabbnrn Benton, 5 Jnsper, S Newton, S Pulaski, 6 White, S 3 1 THIRD BALLOT. Lamborn Dwiggins Bpangter Benton, 5 • Jasper. 8 Newton, 6 Pulaski, S White, 8 S Spangler dropped and proceeded to FOURTH BALLOT. Lambent Dwiggins Washburn Benton, i . Jsaper, 8 Newton, S Pulaski, « White, 7 4 Washburn dropped and proceeded to FIFTH BALLOT. Lamborn Dwiggins Benton, 5 Jasper, 8 Newton, C Pulaski, 6 White, 7 4 Sixth, seventh,; eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth ballots resulted the same as the fifth—in a tie vote. On the thirteenth ballot one of the Pulaski county delegates changed his vote from Lamborn to Dwiggins, thus giving him the nomination, which, on motion of Dr. Lamborn, was made unanimous. Mr. Dwiggins was called out and returned thanks in an appropriate speech. The following resolution was offered by Mr. Foster and adopted by the convention: “ Resolved , That onr present Senator, Hon. Anson Wolcott, having satisfactorily discharged his duty to his constituents and rendered efficient services to the State is entitled to the cordial thanks ot the people of this district and of the State.” The following gentlemen were then selected as a senatorial central committee: Benton —A. Cowgill. Jasper —Horace E. James. Newton — E. L. Urmston. Pulaski —Wesley Nolin. White—M. M. Still. On motion the convention adjourned. ALFRED REED, Pres. D, Tl. LtrAs, Scc’y.

Representative Convention.

The convention to nominate a candidate for representative from the district composed of the conntics of Pulaski, Jasper and Newton, met at Reynolds, Friday, July Ist, 1870. The convention was called to order by J. B. Conner, of Newton county. James C. Faris, of Pnlaaki, was elected chairman, and Joshua Healey, of Jasper, secretary. On motion it waa ordered that the counties should have one vote in the convention for each one hundred votes cast for Max F. A. Hoffman for secretary of State, and one vote for each fraction of fifty or % over. By this apportionment Jasper county was entitled to 8 votes, Newton 6, and Pulaski 6. The chair announced nomina-tions-in order and the names of Wm. 11. Martin ana Dr. S. N. Caldwell were presented. John secretary of the Newton county convention held at Brook, Juue 17th, presented a certified copy of the proceedings of that convention, from which it appeared tho Newton county delegation waa instructed to cast the vote of that county for Mr. Martin.— Certified statement read by the secretary. Mr. Nelson, of Newton county, submitted written statements of eight citizens of Newton county, who attended the Brook convention, claiming that there was an error in the counting of their vote in that convention, and that in fact Newton county was in favor of Sir. Caldwell for representative. After discussing the propriety of investigating the proceedings of a county convention, it was decided to have these statements read, whereupon the covention refused to take action in the matter, and on motion of S. P. Thompson, of Jasper, proceeded to ballot by counties, with the following result: FIRST BALLOT. Jsaper, Martin 4; Caldwell 4. Newtun. “ 6. Pulaski, t «• No choice having been made proceeded to a SECOND BALLOT. Jasper, Martin 4; Caldwell 4. Newton, “ 3; “ J. Pulaski, “3; “3. TIIIKD BALLOT. Jasper. Martin 3; Caldwell 4; Waahburne 1. Newton, “ 3; •* 4; rnlaakl, '* 6. FOURTH BALLOT. Jasper, Martin 3; Caldwell 4; Waabbnrn 1. Newton, -3; •• 3. Pnlaaki, “ 6.

Before the vote was announced by the secretary, Jasper county changed her vote to Washburn, and was quickly followed by Newton and Pulaski, and the ehair announced Dr. I. B. Washburn, of Pulaski county, the unanimous choice of tho convention and duly nominated as its candidate for representative. Adjourned.

Senator Pratt.

D. D. Pratt, one of the Indiana Senators, is gradually becoming reconciled to tho arduous duties of his position, and he is growing rapidly iu the appreciation of his Senatorial colleagues. Quiet and unobtrusive in the Senate, a foe to all lobby rings and office-seekers, he will never be popular with that class, or with the Bohemians who write for the press in their interest. When Senator Pratt speaks, it is after careful examination of the subject, as he would a lawyer’s brief. Speaks directly to the question, without a word to the galleries or to gain the applause of outsiders. Few new members have so soon acquired the influence 31r. Pratt.wielda on the floor of the Senate. It is with pleasure wc learn that Senator J*ratt is looking for a residence in Washington, to which he will remove his family, after the summer vacation, -rif Instead of squanderingthe bound books, printed by Congress for distribution, among a few individuals, Mr. Pratt sends them to tho counties to be deposited in the county libraries —Madison Courier.

Daniel Wall was born January 10th, 1809, in Harrison county, Ky. He removed with his parents to Bellefontaine, Ohio, iu 1812, and from there he came to White county, lud., in 1845; where he has resided up to the time of hi* death, which occurred Sunday evening, June 26th, 1870, aged 61 years, 5 months and 16 days.

He suffered long and patiently during a protracted illness and his death was calm and triumphant Although surrounded by loving hearts on tne thresh-hold of a life of promise, he heard without a murmur, his Master's summons and with a faintly whispered “I’m going home,” hfs last words, he closed his eyes on earth to open them upon the glories of the City of God.
