We occupy some little space in our pa

torial contemporaries showing the manner
IN which The nomination. Of the convention
is received by the Democracy Of the Ter
rirory. Doubtless our opponents will
say that this was 10 be expected as a mat

in our party as we'll us in all parties who
have always an Interested motive 10 their
course of action; but it IS impossible that this

The great mss neither expect nor desire
any immediate personal benefit in their

to accuse them Of an ignorance which
