 The third and last resolution appoints Ansel Ster- 1 ling, Alanson Wheeler, and Horatio Smith, to repre- sent the Republicans of Sharon at the Middletowp Convention. We have little doubt that this resoIu ton was carried by ~nanin,Ous vote though was not absolutely necessary; are credbIy inform ed, the meeting composed of seren gentlemen SO that bare majority, made up of four votes, might have placed these ''blushng honors' upon the Com- mittee ofttree, without wounding their delicacy by requiring the assistance of their own hands.
 This we consider fair specimen of the Jackson fMeetings in the several towns in this sate where they may be held; and from this the public may be able to judge how far the sentiments of the Middle town Convention may be regarded as the sentiments oithe people of Connecticut XIX.
