We find the following rery n,odest production
in the Juliet Signal of the l1ih inst:

hc'H'NiHNlt congressman tlliNtilllb1 WHICH as
scmbled at Juliet on the 18th inst, and nominal

mocralc party, to be supported at the ensuing
election for congress, and having participated IN
the convention, felt it doe to the respect which
entertained for public opinion, and my own self
regard, TO state frankly that, from knowledge oil
Circumstances and facts which have been more
particularly developed since the adjournment Of
the convention. and which bave come 10 nv
knowledge, that cannot and will not now or any
longer give my support to the nominee Of that
convention.
1t will be recoected that for causes, for a re-
fusa to enquire 10y the convention of the existence
Of certain alleged improper aud fraudulent prac-
tees charged to have been perpetrated 10y Mr..
Wentworth IN reference to his nomination, ten Of
the delegates withdrew from the convention. and
declared their refusal to abide its decision. Since
that time have been abundantly convinced Of the
propiety of the course of those delegates; and
from facts Of which | have heard, which convince
me Of the truth Of many of the alleged causes,
since the adjournment Of the convention, and Of
the direct participation of its nominee therein.
