For Judge of tke 4th Judicial Circuit,
JEREMIin M. WILSON, of Fajetle.
Forjudge of the Oiurt tf Common Fleas

During Jsbuary or February last,
Judgo Wilson resigned, creating a va-
csncy In tbo Judgrehip of our District.
Gov. Morton at the commencement of
the March Term of the Court at Brook
villc, filled that vacancy by the appoint
tnenl of Judge Kibby, and be csmc to
FranWln Cc-u-nty 1o bold that Term,
iriih fhe highest hopes of bis frienda.
So nclorious and well known 'were
the babita of Judge Kit by, that, prior
to bis appointment, Gorcrrfor Morton
exacted and obtained from Lira sol
emn promise that be would ootin the
future ir.dalgo his intemperate habits,
and that if be did before the election
fie would decline, and if after, that be
would resign, so that bis frienda should
bate no reaaon to complain or be griev
ed on account of bia elevation, and that
the public in tercet tbould not antler or
"be periled through him. Ilia friends
and acquaintances did bope that be had
sufficient manhocd to orercom and
control bis appetite, and justify their
expectations.
In Wiyixi Coaniy, for -some jcsts,
the .Republicans bevo been accustomed,
through the agency of their Central
Committee, to bold a Nominating (Elec
tion on the tfrit Monday of April. In
view of all the -circumstances of the re
cent appointment, -it itm thought a
matter of prudence to postpone ffae
nomination of Common 1'Ieaa 4Tu(!e
until aoroe day after tlie April election,
and particularly ao, aa other Counties
tin the District had not adofted that
ay at em of nomination; and the-Central
Committee en resolved, and gare euch
ootice through all the TTayne County
i papers. Afterward, nod just on the ero
of the April election, for some cause,
teat known to themselves, tbey changr)
their determination, and on tho Sat -jr.

Ilf Judge Kilhy had been true to bira

there would bare been no trooblc or

Under these tirt nmstancc, we carted

Fayette C'oanty pursuant to tho April
nomination. Mr. AJcJelosh atd other
gentlemen of Fayette also appeared,
and insiatcdthat tbo proceedings bad
in April were without notice or author
ity, and therefore invalid, and further
more did not express the truo sentiment
of Fayetto County.'
The Central Committee of Union
1 County bad appointed Delegates to said
Contention, a portion of whom were
present..

the purpoio of arriving at the wishes of
the people, to refer the whole matter
back to them, and called for a popular
election nomination to be held in ech
Township in the District on the 23d
day of September.
Since that time, the Wayne County
Central Committee havo resolved that
no such election shall be held in. that
County, consequently it would hare
been vain and useless for the other
Counties in the District to hold said
election, as no satisfactory results could
bo attained, nor harmony thereby be
restored.
Charles C. liinkley, Esq., of Brook
ville, baa consented to be a candidate
for Common Fleas Judge, and we pre
sent bis name. to th people of the Dis
trict for their euppört. In some parts
of tbo District be may not be generally
known, but we may say that be is a
man in the prime of life, of well settled,
temperato habits, and irreproachable
character. "lie bas bad a very exten

While the Committee wonld not pre

minded that butter and cream are in
dispensable, and that these articlca aro
extremely acarco in the towns at thia
time. ' ,
Aa it is impossible to procure a suffi
cient number of plates of our mer
chants, the citizens of Urookville are
urged to furnish the same, so far as
they may be able. Tbo use of tbslr
table-cloths js also a matter of noceisi
ty. There will be an efficient police

and persona need have no feara of losing

their names be written on their plates
