Dear Sir: The Loco Foco State Convention
was in session at this place yesterday, JAMES q.
READ being the President thereof. The Conven-
ton was slim in numbers and llielesS IN enthu-
siasm 1t was agreed, to prevent quarellng, that
preferences for the Presidency should not be al
luded to and this was extended So much as to
cause the withdrawal of resolution instructing
the Delegates to the National Convention, who
were appointed last Winter, to vote for WIN. X
KING of Alabama for Vice President.
The following is the Electoral Ticket
TIA. Howard, 's"'0'''J j. G. READ.
D1su'I DTs'Wu. A. BowLEs, VI..P. C. DuSN1NG,
IL -NEwLASD villa. w. PuETT,
I'LL. JOHNSON. VIII H .W.EILswoRTH
Tvs. E. PERKINS, TX. C. w. CATHcARr,
Wv w. WICK, X.-L. P. FERRY.
You will notice that, with one or two exceptions,
the whole ticket is unknown to political fame
To say tilat a much stronger one could not be
framed from their ranks would be to slander them
KcIso was talked of considerably for an eector
IN the Sd, but it appears the party did not sec tit
TO nominate him, though he made a speech IL
their Convention which was much applGudcd by
them.
The majority OF The Committee on Elections
IN the Senate, have reported on the kelsO con-
test that, after overriding all Of MIR. Hcnry's mo-
ton, disregarding his affidavit IN which he states
that if they will take evidence by commission, as
they were authorized TO do by the Senate he
could prove from ID to 10 Illegal votes on helso,
and taking notice only of Kelso's evidence AIKEN
while MIR. Henry was travelling to the Capitol,
and finding therein the shadow Of one illegal
vote AGAINST Henry, hunted up III the four
months interval since the Election, they argue
that this vote balances Hcnry's majority of one,
and that therefore the election was a tie and
should be run over agam
Since them Henry has laid before the Senate
evidence proving II illegal votes on Kelso, but
the result of the contest is doubtful, for the Senate
since the death Of Mr. Colett, is 25 Loco Foco,
"a Wing, and as Mr. Henry will not vote on his
own right to the seat, it will make the Loco-Foco
majority two.
The Legislature have passed Joint resolution
instructing our Senators in lump to 90 '' for
the rerunding of Gen. lacksons unjust fine,
against Cost Johnson's plan, and against Dlstri-
button" Mr.. EWING, the Senator from Knox,
an ox-member Of Congress, made the most pow
er1ul speech of the session against it.
Mr.. ECKELs who was elected State Printer,
not beng able to withstand the anathemas and
entreaties of his party, resigned last week. and
Mr.. Chapman Of the Sentinel, was elected in his
stead. Even after the resignation, this result
would not have been effected had it not been for
the expected detection of two Wings who, voted
for Chapman. Five Loco -Focos voted with the
Wings against HIM.
The Revenue bill of the House, continuing the
same State tax of 30 cents as last year, was or
dcred to be engrosscd in the House by vote of
50 to 3s.
think the idea of raising the $4,000 needed
for this years expenses by an issue of more scrip
will not be successful. The tavoric plan now
seems to be loan of that amount for two years
from the Bank, or some other source. Two plans
are proposed to secure it-frst by the hypothcca
ton of scrp--second by making the tolls and
water-rents on the Wabash Canal receivable only
in par funds instead of deprecated Canal scrip
now, and pedging those receipts as security for
the loan.
The Wing State Convention assemblies on the
10th inst. Yours truly, sc.
