REPUBLICAN STATE NOMINATION.
FOR SUPREME JUDGE,
HON. HENRY" W. WILLIAMS,
OF AT.LEf.tTENV COUNTY.
THE DKJiOCKATIU CO.WEJI I IO.N.
Affording to previous notice, given
thronah the column of two of the Dem
ocratic papers published in ibis place, the
Peuiocratie Couuty Couveniiou assembled
io the Court House on Monday the 1st
instant. The delegates made their ap
pearance very early, and were ready to
be button-holed by the candidates aud
theit frieuds. After a great deal of cau
cusing they repaired to the Court House
and commenced business. Brigadier Gen
oral E. D. Darker and Dr. I'ii-hcr were
placed in nomination for Siate Senator,
when the former received 27 and the lat
ter 7 votes. At this stage of the pro
cecdings a line locking young man with
red hair and good teeth, who Lad been
fidgeting about for some time, jumped up
and (having fottli a white handkerchief
brushed the ooze fioui Lis noble brow,
aud nominated First Licuteuaut Kobeit
P. Mo Williams, commanding company F,
126th regiment P. V., camp in the field,
U. S. A., for Assembly. There being no
opposition Bob went through with a rush.
Dcitrick, Cox and Darner were trotted
cut lor Sheriff, when John Dcitrick re
ceived the nomination. The name of Mr.
Kenawcll was brought before the Con
vention, when that gentleman, looking as
jleasant as a nicat-axc, said, "I decline,"
and his name was placed high on the
ehelf. For Register and P.ecorder Joshua
Deale received 24 and James Dean 10
votes, aud James was also placed on the
bhelf.
ext came Christy and Frow for Coun
ty Treasurer. Thomas, being a very mod
est young man, had his name withdrawn,
nnd the Old Hunker was all "hunky."
This sinie old fellow served the people of
this borough as Post-master, and they
eecn enough of his "sweet disposition''
to make them vote against putting him
again in office. He made the most diso
bliging post-master the borough ever had.
David Stilouff, David Partuer and Jas.
Kirk were nominated tor Commissioner.
On the first ballot Sulouff received 16,
Partner 15 aud Kirk 3 votes. Ou the
eecond ballot Sulouff had 18 aud Partner
16 votes. There is no doubt that wheu
the delegates came to town Mr. Partner
Lad a majority, but after cxamiuing the
elate, he was ordered to be slaughtered,
and Mr. Sulouff, an old and incompetent
person, nominated. Of the two Mr. Part
ner ws by far the most competent for the
position. Daniel Conn received the nom
ination for Auditor.
A committee of five were appointed to
fix up resolutions, and after retiring for a
thort time 'hey returned with a bundle of
tweet-so-nted stuff. Oniy eighteen dele
gates remained to hear the resolutions
lead. While they were being read, as
usual, the word ,:negro" was frequently
mentioned, at which Tommy McUanimou,
Squire Wyke, or some other old saint
would shout, "D n the uager !"
On n.otiou of one of the delegates from
Mi'.ford township it was ordered that the
proceedings be published in the county
papers, but as far as we are concerned we
re? pectfully decline complying with their
widest request.
A despatch from Virginia City, Mon
tana, brings intelligence of the death of
Gcr.cr.il Thomas F. Meagher, Governor
cf that Territory. The General was a na
tive of Ireland, ard participated ia the
revolutionary movement of 1SI3, for
wbieb he was tranpoiled, but escaping,
lie citue to the Uuiled States. At the
vomuiuccuieui ul the rebellion he raised
the Irish Brigade, and fought gallantly
lor the Union cau.se. Resigning Lis com
mand, he was subsequently appointed Gov
ernor of Montana Territory, where his
career was cut short by death. He had
ueariy completed Lis forty-eighth year.
The prompt re-assembling of Congress
eo as to correct the President's attempt to
nullify the the recent leislaiioa of Con
gress, is very galiicg to the P.cbels, and
their Democratic ' allies. Gentlemen,
keep cool ; the Rebellion wasn't trium
phant, and aast net be.
OTIS. t'AMmi.YTlS. 1
We aro indebted to the Haraisburg
Telegraph for the following brief bio
graphical sketch of Judge Williams, the
Union nominee :
Judge Williams is a native of Con
necticut, and within a few months of for
ty- six years of ago. lie graduated at
Y ale College, from which institution be
subsequently won the honorary decree of
"Doctor of law." Having removed to
Pittsburg immediately after graduating,
he became a student in the oflico of the
late Chief Justice Dowry. He was ad
mitted to tho bar in 1810, eutering at
once on an extensive pruolico as tho Jaw
partner of Lis legal tutor. Io 1S51 Mr.
Williams was elected Judjrc of the Dis
trict Court of A lbghcuy county, and in
1SG1, re-elected without any organized
opposition. While Jud;e 'Williams was
a practicing attorney, l.c was regarded as
one of the safes: counsellors at the bar.
As a lawyer he is methodical and accu
rate ; as a judge, fearless and upright,
possessing the happy faculiy of discern
ing at once the justice of a cause, not
withstanding the difficulties aud quibbles
by which it may be obscured. 1I is still
in the prime of life, is biessed with good
health, and is capable of sustaining the
severest mental labors for many years to
come.
Personally, Judge Williams, while of a
modest and reticent disposition, is ouo ol
the most popular meu kuo,vu to the mas
ses of the western part of the State.
He takes a lively interest iu every pro
ject calculated to improve and advance
the growth aud prosperity of the State,
and during the fearful struggle for the
national life and Louor, no man occupy
ing a judicial positiou did more than he
to serve the cause of justice and freedom.
lie never for a uiomeut forgot that his
country has a right to Lis first aud un
divided effort in its behalf iu the hour
of its peril, nor did he grudge those who
periled their lives in its defense tho pe
cuniary remunerations and the persona!
honors to which their valor entitled them.
A comparison of our candidate fot Su
preme Judge with that of the opposition
establishes the following facts: Jude
Williams is ia all respect tho equal ol
Judge Sharswood as a jurist, while the
former has tho advantage of a hale aud
vigorous manhood to overbalance in force
and energy the weakness aud physical de
bility of the latter, which totally unfits
Judge Sharswood for a seat on the Su
preme Bench. In addition to these facts,
during all the daik houis of the conflict
with traitors, when families in the loyal
Statqs were iiveu to contribute supporters
to the l'nion when wives gave up their
husbands, and mothers sent their sons to
battle in defense of the Government
when rivers of blood were poured out to
queuch the Came of rebellion, George W.
Sharswood had nothing but dogmas con
cerning State rights and the justice of
secession to oiler his hlccuiug country, in
sulting its del'uuders by charai'terizing
them as invaders, denying their bravery
by denouncing them as butchers, aud
subjecting them to contumely by declar
ing them engaged in an unholy war ! To
this record of the Democratic candidate
for Supreme J udge, we oiler, as a com
parison, that of the Republican candidate
for the same position. Henry W. Will
iams never forgot his country in the hour
of its danger! He was its friend ia op
position to all eucmics. lie believed aud
so acted, that the Constitution denied the
right of secession. lie treated secession
as a crime. He supported the loyal cause
agaiust all odds. Ila never doubted the
justice of wielding military force to co
erce a seceding State. He never refus
ed encouragement to the soldiers. He
supported the constitutionality of the law
extending the privilege of the elective
franchise to men while absent from the
State fighting the battles of the nation.
Surely .11 these advantages iu favor of
the Republican over the Copperhead can
didate for Supreme Judgo will result in
the almost unanimous election of Ileury
W. Williams, of Allegheny couuty.
Some of ihc Democratic papers arc
trying to hold the Republican party re
sponsible for the failure to try Jeffersou
Davis. The Republicans of Pennsylva
nia, have declared themselves on that sub
ject. But it is worthy of note that the
Democrrtic State Convention, recently in
session, wholly dodged (hat question. As
on the Free Railroad Law, it has no opin
ions on the arch-traitor's release ; or if it
has any, it is afraid to express them.
New York, July 8. Special dispatch
es this morning coutaiu news of General
Custer's command to the Gth iust. Thev
were then in Colorado, foity miles west of
Fort Sedgwick, and had had several lively
engagements with the enemy, in which
they were, uniformly victorious. The pre
vious reports of the death of Custer, and
of a defeat having been sustained by bis
command, are therefore sntrae.
UEFLHLICAN" STATE CONVENTION,
I
WiU.lAVSr-OKT, Juno 26 The Re- '
publican State Convention, to nominate a
candidate for Judge of the Supr-mc Court,
assembled this morning iu tho Court
House, and at ten o'clock was called to
order by lion. Frank Jordan, Chairman
if tho State Executive Committee, in a
lew appropriate remarks-.
On his motion, General James L. Sel
fridgc, of Northampton, was elected tem
porary President, and Messrs. Hitchcock,
of Luzerne, Newlin, of Philadelphia, aud
McPherson, of Adams, Secretaries.
Tho Chairman expressed his apprecia
tion of the corapliuioiit which, iu his se
lection, had been paid the soldiers. He
referred to tho importance of the action'
of the Convention, and hoped that in de
votion to duty they would intimate the
example of Phil. Sheridan.
A Committee of Organization was ap
pointed, w'uh John II. Walker, of Erie,
Chairman, which subsequently appointed
a list of officers, headed by John Soli,
of Huntingdon, as Chairman. The report
was adopted, and Mr. Scott addressed the
Convention eloquently upon the dulits of
the hour aud tho course necessary to be
pursued.
Ou motion, ballotings were had for
Judge, and on the ninth ballot Henry W.
Williams, of Allegheny, received G5 votes,
M. Ilussel Thayer, of Philadelphia, -10,
and Samuel Lyun, of Ccutre, L'3. Mi;
Williams was declared nominated. Ad
journed until 5. P. M. I
Tho Convention rc-asscmbled at 5 P.
M., and the Hon. Edward Ald'hci'son,
Chairman, made the following repo-t.
The Republicans of Pennsylvania, :qi
pcaliag again to the people, take pleasure
iu recalling the repeated ocensions for
which tho votes ol tho commonwealth
have sustained aud ratified their cviui
dates aud principles, aud strongly im
pressed with the importance of the issues
involved in the ensuing election, make
this declaration of their opinions and prin
ciples. Eirst. That, in the name of the iiatioii,

Second. That, as iu the past we cordi
ally justified the administration of Abra
ham Lincoln in all necessary acts f ir the
nupprcssion oT rebel. i"U, we record it ts
our judgment that tlic adiiiinistratica ol

Third. That iu the completion

ary in the courts, that the laws shall not
be tortured to justify or palli.ite the crimes1

an early, J..yr.l and permanent restoration : , thcm by ,Le orioinal Lav, and to cx-
oi me leoei .-ia.es to ineir bnare in me ;
stoverument of the l'nion. That we de
nounce and coudemu the offers of Presi
dent Johnson, through his pliant Attor
ney General and a majority of his Cabi
net, to evade these laws, by interfering to
distract and prevent their enforcement iu
the spirit in which they were enacted,
and that we call upon Cougress, soou to
meet, promptly and decisively to dispose
of this new nullification.
Fifth. That tho thanks of the loyal
men of this commonwealth are hereby
teudered to Mnior General Sheridan
t11.
Major General Sickles for their
declared unwillingness to be made instru
ineutal, in the startling and truthful words
of the former, "in opening, uuJcr the
Presidential declaration, a broad, macada
mized way for perjury and fraud to travel
on," in pursuit of the coveted repossess
ion of political power iu the rebel States,
and tjai this Convention confidently ex
pect that (jeucral (.rant will vindicate his
past record by cordially sustaining them
in ineir pairiouc euoris io eieeu.e i.ie
law.
Sixth. That President Johnson further
merits our condemnation for his reckless
pardun aud attempted restoration to poll
ticnl rights ot mm vol the chiet eon-pi-
rators against, uie i.-nion, ana uiai eapcci- j no tllh0 wi be jt in endeavoring to ar
ally bis persisteut efforts to compel ihc re- L;ve at proper measures to remove the
lease of Jefferson ltvis, wilheut question
for his crimes, were a reproach to tne ad
ministration of justice and an insult to
the whole loyal people of tho nation.
Seventh. That, warned by past misfor
tunes, we ask that the Supreme Court cf
the State be placed in harmony with the
political opinions of the majority of the
peoplo, to the eud that the Court mav
never afiain by unjust decisions seek to
set aside laws vital to tho nation, nor im
peril the safety of the public securities,
nor impair the operation of the Lounty,
pension and tax laws which were required
for the public defense, nor in any way
thwart measures which, were essential to
ithe public protection, but that, on Ihc
other hand, it may become and remain a
fit and faithful iutcrnretrr nf tl.p bhnril

faith, and an impartial aud fearless exp

Eighth. That, protection being a or
dinal feature of the Republican creed, we
trust that such legislation will be secured
at the earliest period as will afford ade
quate protection to American iudustry.
Ninth. That, iu conformity with the
pledges givcu last fail by both candidates
for Governor, we now demand thu enact
ment of a free nilroad law, by which the
enterprise of our people may be stimulat
ed, and the resources of the common
wealth develoj ed.
Tenth. That in Governor John W.
Geary we recoguizc an honest and couia

State is adding freshness to the laurels
gallantly won iu war.
Eleventh. That tho gra'.itudc of the

TwcXth. That in the lion. Henry V.

lie also proposes an additional declaration
as to the guarantees to bo given by the

The appointment of a Committee on

ot the proper measures, aud whatever the

obstructions to lite tuinlment ol the law
which have been placed in the way by
the President and his cunning man of the
law.
It is a curious fact that both candi
dates for Supreme Judge are Elders in
Uho Presbyterian Church Judge Shars-
wocd in the Old School Brunch, Judge
Williams in the New.
The conviction of Surratt may be look

agaiust bim baa been of a very positive
character.
