Charlottesville Contention This Convention
net on the 18th inst. We understand that there
WAS but a small attendance-the time at which
the meeting was fixed being TOO early for the dis
an counties to send their delegates. Mr.. Ghol-
son, Of Brunswick, was appointed President. and
Mr. Taylor, Of Caroline, Secretary. General
Jackson was nominated for President. and Phi
lip P Barbour for Vice President. The resolu-
tons we're drafted and reported by I. w. Gill
Her, Esq, The Convention did not propose a
new electoral ticket, but simply requested that
each voter, when he deposits his ticket, shall
write on it the name Of his fsvorite for the Vice
Presidency. The electors already proposed,
they say, will thus ascertain the wishes of the
majority and vote accordingly. Committees
were appointed in the different counties to attend
to the objects Of the Convention.
