On motion,
The Convention then proceeded to elect
President, when
Isaac Kline had II votes
Isaac " MusgrGUe, Is votes
So that Mr.. Kline had the qualification Of
declaring himself elected-having kept his
eye rivetted on every delegate in the act of
voting, and then, on discovering the result,
giving COLOUR to the proclamation.
The Secretaries were reelected unani
mously.
Neither of the Candidates for the differ
ent offices being placed on the ticket by in
structions, and WILLIAM S. DAVIS, Esq.
having declined being candidate, the Con-
vention proceeded to the nomination of
candidate for Assembly. On the first ballot
Evan O. Jackson had 10 votes
Daniel Gross Is &"
Evan o. Jackson having a majority of
the whole number, was declared nominated.
1t may be proper here to notice the
fact, that the Delegates from Fishing creek,
although warm friends of Gross in the
morning, voted against their own feelings
and the feelings of those whom they repre-
sented, having been influenced to go for
Jackson; and that joel bredbender; one of
the Delegates from Paxton, voted against
his misunderstanding supported Evan
o. Jackson instead Of Daniel Gross. The
consequence of this abandonment of senti-
ment and instructions is evident. Had the
delegates acted FAIRLY and HONESTLY, Dan
iel Gross would have been nominated, and
Evan O. Jackson remained at home to at
tend his private affairs, without any fur
ther botheration of mind respecting the ap-
preaching election.
