We are requested to say to the dele.

is hoped that there will DO q general at

however should find it out Of his power
TO attend, he, together with the other
two from his township, has the power
to appoint d substitute. This power
was given by the primary meeting in

published proceedings. The Secretary

E. D. Dewitt, OF ST. CHAaLls.

We noticed in one Of our late mum.
beers, that this gentleman had declared
himself candidate for a seat in the
Convention, as a delegate from the first
district. We then expressed our wish,
that he had nS,declared himself just in
advance of the action Of a district con.
vention, with a view to divide the demo
Gratis Of the district; but that he would
submit his claims to the convention
which was shortly to convene at Flint
Hill.
We have since been favored by q
friend with the perusal of q letter from
DR.. Dewitt, from which we learn that
he wa under the impression that there
would be no dis strict convention, at the
time hat he announced himself a can
for a seat il: the State Conven-
lion. This opinion originated from q
letter received by him from 4 promi-
nent democrat of Lincoln, with refer
snes to that subject. Acting under that
and by the persuasion of many
Of the leading democrats of St. Charles,
he declared himself candidate, subject
to the sction of the democrats Of the
He was one of the first to
propose that the district convention
should be held; and We feel confident
from the tenor Of his letter that he will
cheerfully abide by its decision.
We have no personal acquaintance
with DR.. Dewitt, but learn from many
sources that he is a democrat from prin-
:iple, and gentleman of very respecta-
BE abilities. He certainly expresses
correct views upon the questions to be
,anvassed before The people.
