To procure and the union and strength OF the
Whir party in our district will be the aim of the Convention,
and 1t will therefore, wish with unanmity, and
ec candidate able and willing put forth IN the canvass
all the personal efforts which customary, and now, es
pcciay demanded by the great questions OF public policy
involved IN the Sincerely believing that the Wing
cause Is identified the interests OF the country,
and the true principles OF Republican government there
no personal sacrifice would chccruly make 10 pro
mote its success and under the full influence OF this feel
express 10 respectfully, but decidedly the wish
lat may not be put in nomination
Some my already minated other gentle
men, and political friends have been named tor
the Office and by reducing the number shall promote
unanmi. The district large and the time short before
election whilst the spring OF Circuit Courts have
begun and will occupy the whole of that time Ny
with which have no night u DIS
pense would entirely visit TO each county IN
the district You too that remains OF
