appears TO be much more correctly informed
OF what transpired at the late Wing Con-
venion than the Mr. a. who fourshes in
the American.
C.-tlave you seen the nominations
made al our convention Mr.. d?
d. have, but cannot say approve
very highly Of all The selections made
C.-Why? presume the nominees are
all good Wings.
D.-They probably are, but it is not
every one who calls himself good Wing
that Is qualified 10 make laws for the Ter
ritory.
C.-rhat acknowledge, -, am not ac-
quainted with all the candidates nominal, d.
but have great confidence in the intrgri v

from this place and, and am sure they
would not knowingly consent to the nomi-

was not qualified.
ID. Your con idence in the delegats sent
from here is not mis- placed, nor were
they the only high minded and honorable

tlnos, they we're out-numbered and over
ruled BY clique headed by Gne of the most
