sacrifice Of personal predictions which had through

aSsemblage. In announcing tho selection of the Hon.
GEORGE NJ. DALLAS, Of Pennsylvania as the Demo

FELLOW DEMOCRATS Of Tuscarawas, we lay before
YOU 1.-THE nominations ofihe Baltimore Convention. They

from the Democracy of Tuscarawas, from our gallant

the proceedings of the Convention and also sketch o.

Of the press in different quarters as more pertinent than
anything we could say. In conclusion we tell our
friends in other counties that the Democracy of Tusca
