His business-habits and qualifications fiji him for
almost any station, and should he be chosen as
assured that he will give satisfaction 10 all, ex
the exercise Of powers not granted in the Consti-
tuition, and to disparage every prominent Demo
crat who contends for strict construction Of that
sacred instrument and faithful conformity TO its
Obligations. Their hostility TO John II. Edmunds
ates,s his fidelity and efficiency. But in thus
urging the claims OF MIR. Edmunds ] would by
no means disparage other good and true men in
the district, who stand. conspicuously identified
with the Democratic Republican Party. His
friends in Halifax do not desire TO thrust him for
ward in hot haste, without comparing views with
their Democratic brethren elsewhere. Let US
meet in our respective counties as early as prac-
ticable, and send delegates to District Conyen-
tion TO nominate our candidate, so that he may
have time TO canvass the district before the cleo
tion Let the Convention be holden at Pittsy-
