almost every man in town, that previous to
the Wing Convention here in June, there
was whg primary meeting for the pur-
pose Of testing the opinions Of the Wings,
as to the relative strength Of their several
competitors: that Of about one hundred votes
given in, he Of the Royal blood, who was
beat, (not, ms has been incorrectly stated,
one hundred and forty voies at the last heat,
but TWO hundred and forty -one) had Of the
number present more than eighty votes !;
that Mr.. Randolph, another candidate, had
but six, and the man now in nomination,
| the residue? Is it not notorious that the
Delegates then elected were virtually pledg-
ed to support the man who was defeated
in the contest two years agol but when the

representatives from this town--had not the
courage to name the man he was instructed
to vote for. -Four hours were spent in fruit
less discussion; aud as an easement to their
concerns, two men were nominated, when
il was known at the time, that neither of
