Ohio County Nominations.
RISING SUN, Sept. 11, 1855.

Editor Reveille:–The American county Convention held in this city on Saturday last, was well attended, and considerable enthusiasm prevailed. About 300 true-hearted Americans were present.—Every portion of the county was well represented.

The people were somewhat disappointed on account of the speakers expected from abroad having failed to be present; but notwithstanding this, the meeting passed off in fine style.

A delegation, consisting of a representative number from each township, was selected to make nominations for county offices, to be presented to the convention for its ratification. This delegation presented the following ticket:

• For Clerk, Levi Scogin, of Randolph Township.
• For Auditor, John Buchanan, of Union Township.
• For Recorder, James M. Shepherd, of Cass Township.
• For Commissioner, 3d district, Scott Billings, of Pike Township.

This ticket was received with shouts of acclamation and each candidate being presented singly, the convention unanimously ratified every one nominated.

This ticket is most judiciously selected, not only as regards the popularity and fitness of the men, but also the interests of the different sections of the county.

The whole ticket will most certainly be elected. The “old liners” are already being to tremle. They see “the hand-writing on the wall.”
