We arc authorised to say to Col. Sam. i McLean tbat Wilbur Fisk Sanders will mset him in Virginia City, boforo tho 24th to discuss the political question of the day. i The Candidates. We rcsunlc our remarks on then cadi- dates, which want of space last week, pre- i vented our completing.

Col. John A. Nelson is by birth an irishman, but has lived in the States, from early childhood. No more thoroughly practical man lives in the territory, and on the Union question, he is sound as heart of oak. He carved out his eagles with his 6word and left the army, after three years' service, owing to a serious ing with General Butler, some of whose actions in Louisiana, he had condemned, i In his retirement he carried with him the 1 sympathies of his own command and the good wishes of all who knew him.

Any political wire puller who can pull the wool over Col. Nelson's eyes, will be fairly en- titled: to both the fleece and the flock. J. was one of the very first merchants in Virginia City, and has ac- quired the character of a thoroughly relia- ble, straightforward and capable man. Tie many friends in this territory and is a good man for the places John S.

Lott, is the Judge of the district in which he resides, and as he knows where 1 the- shoe pinches, he will be to fit the place better than an Mr. Lott has always borne the character of an upright, intelligent Union man, wull qualified for the post for which he is nominated. Judge Tcfts is a gentleman whose acter and actions arc bo well known- that it would be superfluous to say more than 1 teat while in the Idaho Legislature he was universally -considered as the most able man in it. The measures which he advo- i eabed and the resolutions which he intro- duced are unmistakcably on the right side well fas -the Judge, they axe on re eoni and eawntw. dlsftrtad.

A The Situation. Trio oiuiatidji which onsi lasl'vissuc fore- shadowed is come to pass so strikingly, in tf evfry particular, that we may plead as 0 an fescuse for unshaken firmneisof opinion ot 864. that our adversaries bear testimony to its truth, tl With real Democrats we have no quarrel; it but the platform of the pseudo-Democrats ii we look upon as the meanest and most erogenous compound foisted on the political world, in the 19th century. a Let us examine it. ii The domestic policy is copied seriatim, and almost verbatim, from the printed platform of the Union party, published last week.

Small as is the transaction, it is conclusive evidence of two First i that the Democrats believe that we propose to do what is right. that as they must have some little righteousness to save them from utter destruction, they show a their sense by stealing it from the Union men- A thought, indeed, suggests- itself, 1 which is tbat the franiers didn't know any thing about such matters, and so were com- 1 pelled to copy. The general policy is confined to an cn- dorsement of the Chicago convention, with, i McClellan as cxponenf. This is strange, Peace at any price, carried out by a 1 ral whose motto is war to the 1 McClellan is bound by all ties and urged by all motives that can actuate a soldier, to carry fire and sword into the last hamlet that is defended by Confederate troops. He was the leader of the Union armies, i and removed from command, as he states, i unjustly.

What follows? He would, if elected, to save his name and honor, bear mmmm down on hts foe and conquer or sacrifice all 1 tho means at his command. Thus he would 1 seek to answer the sneers of his opponents with final success. Will tbe peace men fol- the k'm Let Democrats beware of their are ap- allies.
