r.ys <)ur County Convention. 4

In an other column will be found the proceed
inps Of the convention for The nomination Of couii
.ty officers, held here on last Saturday. The meet
ing was large and animated one. Full OF in
terest from the fact that the claims Of the various
candidates were urged with an energy and deter.
minaton, only surpassed by HE Willingness Of all
to acquiesce in the doings Of the convention
The federaists Of the county had vainly fatter-
ed themselves, from the number Of candidates,
and the solicitude and earnestness with which
their claims were advanced, that the hitherto
united and victorious. Democracy of Putnam
would suffer themselves tobe distracted and de-
feated through an unworthy scuiile for county Of
fees. These sage calculations arein strict keep
ing with the false instincts, and narrow, dishon-
est wire-working policy ef the federal party
they would barter their God for gain. They
would pander withthe foul iend for oflice,--
Their creed teaches them that money is the great
good, Mammon the great Cod and the hottest
cause fiteubject Of barter for filthy lucre, and
personal aggrandizement and they foolishly
measure the patriotism Of the Democracy BY
their own distorted standard; but they re ckon
withou. their host. The decisions Of the con-
yentions Of the Democracy are no sooner known
than confirmed by tho concurrence of fhe party
and we now give our federal Solomons due notice
that the ticket put in nomination last Saturday
will go in with larger majonty than any othel
ticket ever nominatedin the county.
The best feeling paryaded the meeting--a unan'
unity that presages victory. -=1,.--

THE TARIFF.

The New York Express says:--"Tbe I'D caio-
rem principle recommended by Mr. Secretary
Walker, and likely to be engrahed upon the new
Tariff bill, is unpopular with nearly all our inn
porters, many Of whom, if not majority, are
Anii-Tariff, Free Trade men. nd paiorems they
know lead to frauds, and make it almost impossi-
Bile honestly to collect by :bem. Besides, they
are aware that the system will bring about all
sorts of litigation, and be the source Of innumera-
BILE disputes and troubles. As an instance, that
neither American nor Foreign importers here wish
TO do business OF this system, we are Informed
that the importers of silk goods, almost without
exception, have signed remonstrance against
the application of the ad caiorem principle rule 10
their business, and that this will soon be laid be-
fore Congress, having been already forwarded to
Washington"

FOR THE SPECTATOR.

MR. HARPEa,-As good many people keep writing
in your paper about the election thought had as well
write some too. And ! can tell you what mean to
speak my mind pretty free. ] have as much right to
say what think as other folks, and can't see any
good reason why Shouldn't do it.
In tne hrst place wish you and every body else to
know that go against the old candidates My reasons
are numerous, but it's hardly worth while tell them
all But the first and foremost Of them is that have
self and want to Baldwin and Massie efectuaily
Killed off, Missile is just the kind Of man. If he is let
alone to stand in body,s way. lie is fellow of most
excellent good sense, and although have been trying
very hard to pick hole or find flaw in him, have
hardly been able to hear Of any thing worth naming
against him.
AS for Baldwin never did like him He seems to be
sort OF dcvl-may fellow, who is Just ready
Tor fight as an argument But what sticks in my
have almost hated him since he the other
didatcs so far last spring. can't bear the idea Of
mere boy like him, barely old enough to be the
Legislature, being taken and put the heads
men old enough to be his father Il was piece of pre-
sumption in him to offer at all for the Legislature And
then again he had like to have been made common
than to be leading the magistrates and the people into
such folly The fact is he getting up too fast for my
notions,i feel IN cr ortabe under it. He is in my
way, and want to him put down, mean to pu,
me to do it.
cant help being surprised at your thinking Of sup
porting Massie and Baldwin. You may depend on il
you stand in your own light, and you marrng the
hopes OF great many other people. Maybe you and l.
or one OF U.S. may some of these days be wanting to go
to the Legislature, and then wen find Baldwin and
niassie right in our way Now go for putting them
button hole or two lower Ill do It fairly if cam but
IN do it nny how. And If nothing else will do iii not
only write against them, and speak against them and
vote against them, but don't know that would even
hesitate to lie little against them if should be abso.
iuely necessary hope therefore that you, and all
Others who like myself have aspirations, and
laudable desire to Prevent neghbors from being puff
ed up, and having their heads turned will unite in ga
long pull, strong pull, and pull all together and
Wen fix their ins for them As for the w htc Basis
or the Mixed Basis, care very little about them But
it can use either of them to beat Massie and Baldwin
IN do it. These sort Of things very good to humbug
the people WITH and why shouldn't them well
as any body else 1t tickles to death to hear some
people make fuss about their political principles
When hear men talk loud about their principles be-
gn to doubt whether they have any to boast Of Yours
&c OREGON.

RICHMOND WING,

This excellent journal has now for its principal
editor RICHARD H. ToLER, Esq. The pape. of
the 9TH contains his salutatory address, Mr.. T. is
already advantageously known through his con-
nection with the Lynchburg Virginian, and in
the new and more commanding position which
he here occupies, the influence of his talents will
have enlarged and appropriate scope.
From the Richmond Compiler.
DINNER TO Mr.. ToLER.-There was public
dinner given by the citizens Of Lynchburg to Mr..
TobER, late editor of the Virginian, on the 3lst
ultlmo, on the eve of his departure for Richmond,
to take charge Of the editorial department of the
Wing. CHAs. l.. MosBY presided, assisted by
DR.. RoBeRf S. PAYNE and JOHN VIM. Dudley.
In answer TO the complimentary toast drank TO
him, MIR. Toler made an address, which the Vir-
gilman styles feeling and eloquent. The tribute
was one fattering to Mr.. Toler, as man and an
editor.-We are to Judge that it was on the cold
water principle, as the Virginian says it passed
off in manner which clearly demonstrated that
the absence of Intoxicating liquors is 40 bar to
festive enjoyment.
The editorial connection of o. p. BALDWIN
Esq. with the Richmond Wing ceasad on Tues
day. In relnquishing the post in which it ape
pears that he has given equal satisfaction to the
proprietors and readers of the Wing, Mr.. Bald
win addresses an earnest exhortation to the peo-
pie of Virginia to study liberal rather than a
contracted policy, so that the good State may no
longer falier in her competition with the more en-
ergetic, and therefore the more thrifty, members
of the confederacy, but again assert and main
tain her proper ascendancy:
"Let us (says Mr.. Baldwin, discard that Sec
tiona and Liberal feeling which has so long i'm
peded our onward march, and establish a sys.
tenn OF improvement commensurate with the
wants Of the State, and adequate to the develop
ment of all her unparalleled resources. Let US
adopt policy which shall look to the prosperity
and the happiness of all Virginin, which shall
bring upon one common platform, the men of the
