THE RECORD. CEDARTOWN, OA., JUNE 22, 1870 Ex-Goy. .Johnbod, in respond) to a lottor from sovoral prominont gontlo- moo, Roliciting his candidacy for tho nomination for governor, htalon that ho will nntor into no acratnble for tho nomination, but Intirontoa that ho will servo if called upon. Govornor Hayon, of Ohio, received tho nomination for prenident, at tho lato Cincinnati Republican conven tion. Wm. A. Whoolor, of Now York, was nominated for vico-prem- dont. Wo will have more to nay on thin subject noxt week. Attention! Democrath. Tho Democratic party of Polk coun ty will couvono in the court liouno at Codartown on the find Tuesday (1th) of July, for the purpose of selecting delegates to represont this county in tho gubernatorial convention which meets in Atlunla in August to nomi nate a candidate for Governor. Julius A. Pkkk, 2t Ch’ro. Ex. Com. WliHt I Huw. Mi. Ewtoii:-~Ou Tuewlay evening tho boauty und chivalry of Codartown assembled at tho rcsidonco Capt. Juli us Peek, to commemorato tho dnys, <loiugs und costumes of '70. We learn that this "got up" was by tho girls of the nlnco, ns it oombined the loap-yeur and centennial both. At 0 p. m., mostof tho company had assembled iu ILo brilliantly lighted halls and an odd assortment of cos- tutnou camo into view. We found ourself at a loss to rcoognizo many of the fair spinsters and cavaliers, yea, from tho "big injun," (Mr. Grifleth) down Tho hostess pul in quito an ancient npponrnnco, and wo could almost shut our eyes and beliovo ourself to bo back in tho good old days of '7(1. Thon camo tho fair ho'iltwt'fM with amjtU: foim and almost auti-deluvian attire, (ffervescing with smiles and good humor. ll»ght hero we'll stop Mr. Editor, as wordH nro inadequate to—well, Joe Liddell and Dr. Wright can tell you the balance. "Hourl on her Ups and soul within her oyes Soft n« her olhno and ■unity an her #klc».' Closo idongsido camo "Bullcngcr Gravloy," with his little oonteunial brcoohes—aud to see him proiueuad Uig with tho j uiU-ttformul was simply to nnathcmatiKo tailors, hoosierdom aud tho lest of dilapidated mankind The uulirtUt Knights, with leuoo buckles, assumed a ootihidnroBlo umount of modesty and diflidonco and when tho ladies would nsk thorn for a promonndo, would show a mark ed degree of eiubarruHsmout. As an outsider, wo hoard some very amusing remarks in by-play. One goutlouiun with unlimited was enmparod to a "loaf of sugar sot iu a largo plate." Another was said to bo "like a pair of stiaws stuck nicely into tho baso of a hay-staok." Watered silks, pro-historic satins aud other old doin's, woro to bo seen on ovary hand. Mirth aud good humor wore the order of tho uight, and wo opiuo that mauysoft nothings were interchange d bringing bright hues of nuturo-tiutod carmine beneath tho trills und caps of n hundred years ago. "A thing of beauty is a joy forovor" they say, and if that bo so, there must bo countless joys for tho future, for if thut house of Mr. Peok’s was not full of "things of beauty," then my optics failed mo entirely. And wo would like to particularize and specify in detail nil the striking points and characters wo noted, but time, space, yen, every ooluinu of your paper would fail up. Tho Lady of tho "Lake," tho "Gip sy,” "Lady Washington," and a host of other uuiudano angels would keep you too long at tho font. Wo must not neglect to say that tho little girl who ropreseutod tho "girl of the pe riod" attracted a grout deal of atten tion. Tho manner in which sho acted her part was that of an accomplished young lady. Our most hospitable host had the couteuuial conch somuled, and to an old fashioned tea-tight we went. Promenades, love-whispers, jest und ruparloo followed to tho ‘•Woe Btua' hour* ayaut tho lw.il," and wishing the kind host und hostess many returns of this happy occasion, we lift our h it aud bow ourself grace fully out. Yours, Ac. Cammn Cuttle. A mooting was hold at tho court house on Tuosday evening last for Clio purposo of arranging preliminaries for tho 4th of July celebration, Mr. T. M. Paco presiding.

Before Governor Smith’s refusal to run—whou there seemed to be a prob ability that tho delegates would bo so much divider! iu support of the avow ed candidates that neither one of tin w could obtain a clear majority iu tho oouvuitiju—it was obviously the pur pose of tx-Govcruor Johnson*s friends uel to make any open euiitoit in lho county meetings, but to briughim for ward iu tho expected contingency of a piolor.gid contest iu the couveutiou as a compromise candidate. He would thus have been presented as the active oppouout of no one of the aspimuis, but as a it on-con test ant upon whom I Johnson to turn back tho tide of pop ular sentiment.
