oniy twice week by mail TO this place would not
have reached Williamsburg in .iue course until
wednesday night having been brought down by
passenger in tn. steam boat on Sunday has bccn
kindly placed in my hands Tor pertisal In noticin,
the proceedings of the late Convention at this pnoo
am sorry TO perceive that Tho of the Rich
n'oud and Henrico DELEGATIONS has been deemed in
consistent or contradictory by the B,iitor of the.
Wing. For my part, think the conduct of the 1.n-
ucnen from Richmond and Henrico deserves much
more OF praise than With dcIrc,, of can.
dour and fairness, not usual on such occasions md
whlcn was by no ileans recrrocatod, the Richmond
and t4enrco delegations, immediately on their reoch-
ing Williamsburg, stated whom they had agreed
upon from abovo-They intended, they said, to pro-
p'se am vote Tor Judge Marshall aud Mr. STANDARD
AS delegates preferred by the upper part of the dis
trct; nnd they stated that they we're prepared to
vote Tor my two Others whom tito declarations from,
Spio" thouSht proper TO bring forward,--cxcept
Judge Scmple and aIr. Nichoaa--fr whom thev ss,5
they could not vote without violating the Wishes Of
their consitueIts--lhe WING which reached WI
liamsburg on Friday evening ihc s7th March, con-
veyng intelligence of Mr. Stanards nomination h.,
the District Convention for SnottsyIvan;n &C. IN
duccd the withdrawal OF his name aud The sub.ttu
tion of Mr., Tyler.
When, atcr the election of Judge Marshall and
Mr. Tyler, tie lower delegations nomateJ I,dge
Semple and Mr.. Nicholas the declarations from, Ric6
mond aud itenrico repeated, with much
their inability to vote for either of those penten,en
ana urged the nomination otSnme third person. and
when tins was done by Charles CITY, bringing for
ward Mr.. Farewell, Both dclcgatu:is voted Tor him
l" al! who were present it was readily ,Iercciv.i
that Mr.. Tuzewcll could not be elected II vns ,l.,
as plainly seen that York and Warwick We're deter.
mined TO adhere TO hir Nicholas, ard that Chsrh,t
City and James City were devoted 60 Jndre Sennl,
Had Richmond and HCnrico both con. inued to vo,o
Tor Mr.. TaZewcis tho Convention might have bcon
oallo'tng TO the present day without making a fur
ther choice lienrlcO, doubt with the unde rstap
ding that Richmond would still vote for Mr. Tazr
" ]. gave her vote Cor Mr. Nicholas. Mr. Tazewnu
beng hen dropped, Richmond and Henrico threw
away their yotssIon supporting Judge Scrnple, and
tic other Mr. Nicholas. IL was entirely useless "a
continue tins mode otVotng. The delegations from,
below were determined to offer no other ALTERNATIVES
Than Judge Semp!e and MIR. Nicholas TO The delera
ions RON ahov9' The sale OF Charles Citys vote,
'or Mr.. Nicholas, 10 York, 1t plainly seen could
D." eject his elections and thus situated Rich,rond
ana henr co, choosing the least oftwn evils gs-c,
their votes Tor Mr. Nicholas, ard elected him.
When Col Bsssctt was put in nomination. Ricj,
mond and Hcnrico both voted for him. York---c,i.
cuating little York-heving secured tie election oF
her iavourite, Mr. Nicholas, ny the aid of Tho vote o
Charles City, which she had purchased KNOWING
very we'll at the time of bargaining that her vote r
Judge Scmple would elect him arainst tho ono
and lvowed determination of Warwick Richmond
ana Hennco tn vote against him after several useless
ballots finally voted for Col Eassc,r md tt,,s So:
mated the elections.
repent then, that Richmond md Ienrico brd
no other alternative left them than act as they did
Had any one ofthe several motions which Mr. Chrr
tain made, and pressed upon the Convention IN -,
have no doubt that double ticket uniting the names
of Judge Scmple and Mr.. Nicholas, would have hcen
brought forward, and that they would both have
been elected in this way. Such plan however vy,g
not thought of al the moment by any member. and
hall an hour even was not allowed Tor consult4tioa
