We have observed the action of many Conventions, but never have we witnessed one that discharged its duties with more unanimity, than did the convention yes erday. The canvass for nomination had been conducted with such fairness on the part of the candidates and their friends, that no bad feeling had boon stimulated. Each recognized the right of the other, and all felt perfectly satisfied with the success of those whose good fortune it is to occupy a place on the ticket. The contest for Congress had lost much of its "interest, both on the part of the candidates and their friends, from the faot that the other two counties of the dis trict had declared in favor of Mr. Wil liams. Still the people had to make their vhoico between the two gentlemen whose names wore before them. And it is wor thy of remark, that during the whole can vass, not an unpleasant word wash car J t>y the friends of cither as to the other. On the contrary, the general regret was that they could not vote for both. Mr. McJunkin, the successful candidate, is so well nud favorably known to our readers, that further notice of him is unnecessary. A gentlemen of liberal talents, of un questioned integrity, and last but not least, a thorough Republican, his election to a MA in Congress would be but a fit ting reward for a constant adhcretico to the right. Mr. Prtlow. our present member of As sembly, has been again put >n nomination. This he has merited by his fidelity aud industry in the past. He will receivo the district nomination, and again t-crve us, we have no doubt, acceptably. Of Mr. Cummins, one of our cmdid •n'tes for Awociate Judge, little need be said, as he is well and favorably known to our people. The vote he ran, over so many good competitors, attests fully the high estimate put upon his qualities as a public citizen The truth is, it is quite a favot to the pnbtie to have such men # -become thefr servants. • >f Mr. Oarvej,lc»sJi? known.simply be ■eause he has_up to this time, hecn an un assuming, iiiJistrio«s'farmer. But .those who know him, know tfiat hie nomina tion is one eminently fit to be mado. The legal profession, we presume, would have preferred one candidate convenient to Butler; but tho people are supreme. Mr James B. Story, our candidate for Sheriff is lees known to our people. He is a young man of excellent character well qualified for the office, and, although '■he never bad boon known as a politician at home, he-did both the Republican par 4>y and the counfry valuable eervLee in the eaiiijmigns in which the army al the Potomac engaged, spending four years in the ranks He finally lost an arm and received a musket ball through hie side while making a charge in front of Peters burg. in June. 1864 He belonged to company H, 19Bd Regiment. Mr. Clark, our candidate'for Pratho'o otary, was a member of company H, 78th RsKiaMut. #hore be #trred almost two years, when lie was compelled to accept a discharge by reason of ill health, from whicli, wc believe, lie has not entirely re covered. lie will make a most excellent olßeer. Mr. Eastman was also n member of company 11, 102 d Regt. He as well as our candidate for Sheriff, sealed his de votion to liis country by his blood; he lost an arm at the battle of Codar Creek, lie has been engaged in teaching school sinco the end of the war He will make a most obliging officer. Mr. Nixon, our candidate for Register and Recorder is also a soldier, who, al though he was fortunate enough to escape the bullets of the enemy in a service of three years and three mouths, endured the hardships of camp life, and came home with a greatly impaired constitu tion. He is admirably qualified for the position assigned him on the ticket, and when elected will fill the office to the en tiro satisfaction of all. Mr.' Brandon, our candidate for Com missioner, is well known to the people as an intelligent, successful farmer. He will make a safe and acceptable officer. Tho ballancc of the ticket is equally ac ceptable. To those who were not successful, we can say that they have our sympathy. Many of them, wc have i:o doubt, will yet occupy places on our ticket in future campaigns. It is quito creditable to them that they retire with such good grace. Not a word of complaint has been heard, but all cheerfully acquiesce in the action of the people. Of tho sentiments of the resolutions, wc have nothing to object to. In fact, they seem to ufe to be well adapted to the occasion. Frank iu their utterances; they arc calm and consiliatory in tone endorsing Congress, they have no angry utterances against any other department of the Government. This is the result of the conviction entertained by some, and hope, by all, that better feeling is about to prevail betweeu the different de partments of tho Government. Not forgetful of the paramount ihity devolving upon the Republican party, of sustaining that body (Congress) which alone carried us through the war that gave us our existence ns a nation, all should, nevertheless, ardently desire to see the various departments move in harmony. Present indications sedm to justify the belief that befoto the close of the present political struggle, this happy consummation will be reached.— To accomplish this, we trust all lovers of their country are ready to sacrifice every thing short of principle—this of course cannot be given up.

Fui Uiu CltlM II llcpl.v to "(jiikiiowir" You say yon'ro in a stew. Strange! very strange ! I wortld not nave thought such "senseless'' fickle creatures as (you think) wo are, could make any impression ou the mind of a sensible man like your self. I hope you may succeed in getting out of that particular situation without any serious injury, as it would certainly be a very great loss to (he ladies iu gen eral, to lose such a ilcvulnt admirer as you appear to be. You say lam "wido of the mark," in supposing you a "happy Benedict. T did not suppose you a happy one. Pardon me, sir, if I threw out a wrong impression. I did not know how any one poukt write so irj tiiia'j/ and put 'turfy (as you did) without having sonic bitter experience in the'matter. I had no desire to be "sarcastic." My languago was the true feelings of my heart. Wheu I read your "short epistle to Betsy Jean" I was not aware there was any "old maid sh bitterness" about it.and I can assure you, sir, that I have never "loved and lost," You acknowledge that gentlemen marry for gold as well as 1 idics, which, is more than you admitted before. You also think that if I have found ,i true heart I am not capable of loving end cher ishing it as "a jewel beyond price," be cause I ant a woman. Pardon mo, sir, if I here tell you that if this l>c your idea of women, you are not worthy of a true woman's lflve, and I would say woe to the lady who trusts her happiness with yon- Yes, the love of some of these disciples of Cupid," (of which you speak.) amounts t& nothing, "Dust and ashes" are the proper names. But for this c'asS I ha.t nothing to say. They have "sown the wind" let them "reap the whirlwind." j They hare (in all probability) married for the "almighty dollar," or lor beauty, or for convenience, or some other motive than trne love. Such condiict is despi sablc in either ladies or gentlemen. They are generally unhappy 4nd I think they deserve to be so. But have you never neon an instance of a happy married life ? I think you need not travel far to find some such instances. I have known ladies to marry gentlemen for their worth, their intelligence, and their ;;ood princi ples. I would not gi.ye A fig for that love which is in proportion to tho few thou sands which are thrown into tho marriage contract. For my part I would rather burn the few thousauds than have them to influence any gentletaaq in my favor. Yes, I have read of those who sunk to j the grave on account of being ciossed in lOYB. Theirs must have been true love placed on unworthy objects. Ilpving had no experience in the matter, I can not Ay positively what I would do under snch circumstances, but believe I yrduld I rfgrro with Y<m. trod slhJw ffttfin Pi dPjfifit 112 in peace, considering them unworthy of tho love I had bestowed on them. So, you think woman's lova nevter goes Le yoad "that dear bonnet/' of that "lovely shawl." W-h-a-w! what mistaken ideas you have of the ladies. Why my friend, thatisfaste; no love about that. The idea of a lady loving inanimate objects, such as bonnets and shawls. Preposter ous 1 No sensible lady would do that- Sensible lady did I say I Kxuuse me. there aro no sensible ladies, in your opin ion. If you aro correct in your ideas of a school girlj I cannot be one, for I do not consider myself "IOYO personified," neither is my "mind full of elopements and romanco," and I do hope I will al ways have enough of "sctf respect" to keep mo from doing any thing "ridicu lous." I have no desive to annihilate you, but would liko very much to annihilate such ideas, as those you advance, from the cranium, of all men of good sense. It this was done you might thou succeed in finding some of those ladies which (you say) the gentlemen would esteem, could they find them, for 1 can assure you there are many such. BKLLA. UNIONVII.T.K. .June 7th. For thoCttiei-n To "Unknown." Well, my friend, what a talk we are having over mutters in general, and love in particular. This controversy was un expected to me, but your first article was too much one sided to pass unheeded) and although you make some general admis sions; still, you "cap the climax" ting the "top-sheaf" ou our shoulders. But how i»i tho "Mow" by this time? The dear creatures, Jilting bdlijs, bland eoijucttes; IK w they (logo on. And a wile is a clog to her husband's steps. My friend, you must allow me to disagree with you there. I cannot masticate so big a doctrine. But, even suppose it to be so. would it not be beneficial to society if all the young men who f'reijuont these fashionable drinking saloons, beci shops, restaurants, c tc., would clog their steps with a wife '! They would save the diiucs they spend in rio!om eating and or ill king, for better institutions, and besides, main tain a good rcputatian. As » general thing you hear men who have married, say a wife is a blessing bu' if you will not listen to reason, you will have to get one. or scatter your sentiments to the winds. You think 1 am not so fashionablo as to ooinmit matrimonial su icide ; or i»y ideal has not come yet; or 1 can say, Why don't tl'P moil lin>|,tw, jmiuW ! >, Nuw what ff tlif turn «lu prt KvcrylKMly will And i cannot f-eo why it should iiKikc any material difference to you, anyhow. You say T admit an undeniable truth, — the fickleness of woman's heart. Let me jog your memory a little. 1 admitted tlirt jt'inu' were falr>G and fickle, hut that did not proved// to he of the same stamp, [f ever there was a true hearted woman since the cr. ation of Eve, there arc scores of them yet. At.d if ladies delight iu jilting, so do gontlemen ; this you cannot deny, and if some do so, then according to your lovcology, all gentlemen are alike, deceitful and fickle-minded, (and among the number T must consider my friend "unknown,")not to he trusted, so selfish as to perjure themselves for a few (Jays of pleasure What a strange flrld this must be if all men were crca.ed to love women, and all women created to love men, and yet deceive and betray one another. You must be deep in error if yon really think there is nothing but de ceit rl! the world over. Again, you say -'ladies will cast men , off so that they cm boast of one more cjn- ' quent." I never hoard of »uoh a boast; j and if there are any ladies so destitute of j ir- Feusp tlicy. are few and easily known, a i linn ' »<•• pic enough i.otto know j such emptj treatureH when tlicy see them, j should be treated to'sof't soap," for ven- j turing. Uut let us look at this ' white j equality," as all gentlemen arc alike. I have known some to promise to marry three or four girls; engaged to all at the same time, (and in the •'dumps" because they could get no more,) but as they could 1 uot marry all, those discar/J«d dar# not complain of such uhole hearted creatures, for they were yfiitlonrn ; petty lords of ereatioa. £Jow smart and dignified some of the men are, when ' stuck up" oil a ' slight elevation." I see you still retain a bah ! for true love. Two beings plunge ! into matrimonial infelicity ; (as it is all supposition we might give them felicity, without the in,) he delights in her beauty, soon tires; she pitcben into his coffers, soon empties them; they wrangle nod quarrel, and a divorco follow*. Can a sensible man cull a grovelling passion for beauty and richcs 112 love ? Can any one call that feeliug love, which would lead to luarriage for beauty, wealth, fauio, and the name of being married, to ward off the stigmas "old maid," and ' : old bache lor?" No, the thought is detestable, as well as ludicrous. And there is another j thing which is not trup love; I nball eal! j .it "punkininui. (It is likely that Web ; ster never understood the word, an he omits, it.) I will give you a siynopsis, so voi), will know \vhat it is like. Twotneet; how beautiful; struck at once ; she likes him because she imagines he likes her: i engaged, then married ; how affectionate; Otrc miftf £o w!tin«ver flie cJfhgr ; what loving espregions of siuccrc attach ment j "*hat caressing*, smiles, and dim ples. Hut he must go up street for half an hour; what agony; eUe sighs; wishes he would come buck, ti.„ c i, so I(inip . tears trickle down her check*. |« OC)r m .f n ' he is so much out of his placo, ho scarcely knows what he is doing; he returns ; she hears his step; she rushes out to meat him; he extends his arms; fflfe oiftwincs hers nronnd his nock; kiss each other and smiling through hor tears she passes into a delightful swoon. Oh my ! tho darlings had better leave the country; such love can never be appreciated here. Hut there are ladies and gentlemen, and many of them, who marry for true love;" marry each other, each having found an honest, confiding heart., worthy of h»ve, that which is duep, accommoda ting and kind, no outward show, bu. tha genuine article, and there is huppineiH tiue and lasting Hut 1 will leave tliaff to "Holla. If sho in my old schoolmate •' *> (and 1 think she is) she oan talk from experience, for I think she has found the jewel. Sometimes ladies' actions arc misunderstood, and when jho gentlemen find they are not the chosen ones as they imagined, they arc disipptiinted", blau Q the ladies because an iui] r.Msion wai made, uuknown and unintentional bv tho ladies, or because the gentlemen failed to cxcito that depth of love which would justify a lady in marrying, then they aro called cold hearted, decoitful, real mon strosities. And so you are neither, a married man, a marriageable son, nor an old bachelor. Then you must be n //nuuj bachelor, with some prospect of being tin oh! one. ! And 1 have not the "few thousands,'* which you think would insure marriage, but lam cut ont for an old maid I will niako my calculations accordingly, ami will not be disappointed much if 1 should i be one ; Ltjf. us you dare not, call a lady j an old muid until t*he is UV.T twentv five | yeirs of ago, I eau have a fow yonra of ! grace yet. \\ lion you do marry it will I he, V lion <l«uiKht<-rA haute with f*g<*r fcrt, A niutlirr'* daily toll almr*.; Gin the proMlng* urhtobf tli»\v out.
