 | We understand that the utmost harmony and una nimy prevailed in the Convention except upon the nomination for Secretary Upon the proprety of his nomination there was some discrepancy of opinion at 1 frs hut before the Convention adjourned we believe those differences were reconciled, and was thought best, considering the circumstances in which MT. H. was placed, to retain him in the office he now hods The delegates from Hartford county, who had been | most intimately acquainted wi'h him, and with his manner of doing business, spoke very much and very freely in his avor-that he had uniformly treated the whg party with great respect and courtesy and for so doing and for his independent course had been public ly denounced by the Locofoco Regency, not only in Hartford, but throughout the county. On the whole we do not know but that the nomination of MT. Hin. man was as judicions one as the Convention could have mode-thongh confess that ,De should have been better pleased had good sound whig been ta. ken. As general rule we detest trmmers.
 ad The Address Of the Wfg State Convention Ina. wing been written by of the delegates from this county, and he having brought it home to furnish a copy, we are enabled present our readers simultaneously with the printers at Hartford ar Yesterday the Locofoco Convention was to he held at Middleown to form third ticket for State Of- fcers to be supported at the election in April next As most of the former officers, nominated by them, have repudiated tile practices, and abandoned the principles of the party, we presume an entire new-a unt"-tcket will be presented by the wire drawers of that notable body of 63 Messrs Ingersoll Ingham Beers, we presume, will be the candidate for the first ofFce-Messrs. Haley, Raymond or Dcming will probably present the most urgent claims for the second and so on, and so forth. But, we shall "soon see ohat we shall see.'
 Great Meeting at Poaghkeepsie.-Our neghbor old Dutcheas is wide-awake in the assertion of her rights and privileges. Papers were circulated week before last to procure signatures for the call of meeting tn express their sentiments upon the subject of the small bill law &c. and according 10 the Eagle, 2l40 names were added 10 the list. The meeting was held oa Wednesday of last week, and was one of the most numerous and respectable ever held in that county Many of the Van Bnren folks attended. and took part as officers and speakers at the meeting. Among the. resolutions passed were the following which are all for which we have room.
 Resolrea That the act of 1885, which prohibits tho bauks of this State from issuing bills ot less den9m. considered party measure-hut one ot expediGncy merely; which all experience has proved; and which of the peo sh1ud "nar ne

 Rsosed That the people o inc state ns,sod a n furnishing with better 1t has gwen us o"ser cur. rency. Because it is utterly ctcahie to prevent the circulation of small bls' so long ms the aGmnhS people of this state for the want of specie.

It IS to the influence M this spirit that the bill introduced in the Senate o this state at the close of their last session. to rerea me small bill law was defeated-and the people thns nS. @ ing deprived the using and circulating the small ns of our banks have had forced upon them the shnpas ters of the banks of other states; many of them of doubtful credit some of them having no legal exs- tence some of them insoyent; and all Of them strangers to large proportion of our commnny. Resolued, That we regret the which among n portion of our community. IS wagng against tne of this state. Unless are to be reduced to NeaP. Titan vassaage.

It is obvious any man ot reflection or 0hserva' swer inc bnsness requirements of the industrious terprisnr and laborious people of the United States The natural consequence of an ann'hlaiion of our slate banks, will not be the substitution of specie for paper but the utter expulsion of alf specie and the

 Sub Treasury BR-The longer this blis retarded
 in its passage through the Senate. the more difficulties it has to encounter. When first introduced. 1t waa
 believed that it would pass by six or eight majority
 The opposition continued to gain strength by the ac-
 quiston of member here and there. until now is 's
 thought that it pass at a it must be by the casting
 vote of the Vice President. The Baltimore Chromee
