AT the county convention on Saturday, there was
decided oriiy in favor Of submitting the choice of
delegates 10 the people Of each district and had il
been rightly UNDERSTOOD they doubt would have
instructed their delegates to the State convention
go for that system. But the wire-workers had every
thing in readiness usual, and selected delegates
they pleased though believe they oil in favor
of submitting the choice of delegates to the Baltimore
Convention, 10 the democracy Of each district in their
primary assemblies.
We know this to be the wish of every true demo-
crat who has sinister motives to warp his better
judgment, and hope that the delegates Of this coun-
ty will act as they have talked within few weeks
past, three of whom have been told have express

Like the unsuccessful gambler, he has determined To
stake all upon one dangerous experiment, one fatal

But we hope for the best, we trust that " the
