COUNTY CONVENTION.

The County Convention called by the
committee, assembled at Hall g. Pratt s,
according to the call The towns, we be-
lieve were all represented, with perhaps
one exception, and the proceedings char
acterised by harmony and good feeling
For ourself we thought the meeting was
called too early. People had not vet
thought of the matter nor had they TUNED
their minds al all to the selection Of men
they desired for candidates. 1t gave an
opportunity for factions and cliquss, in the
absence Of any consultation on the part O!
the people, TO secure their ends, and such
we doubt not was the purpose Of those who
urged the committee to make the calls bnt
nevertheless the ticket is a good one. In the
IA names presented to the people Of Racine
county, so far as we know them land we
know them nearly all with one exception,
we call ihem good and worthy men, and we
believe as we'll qualified for the duties as
could have been chosen. The exec ption
we allude 20 is the selection of Elijah Steele
from this town, and we are forced 10 make
il or lie against our own heart. We have
argued with all the force we could here
tofore, that this convention for this purpose
should be called upon party grounds as a
Democratic Convention, because we be-
lieved in Democrats only, were we sure of
finding that liberal principle of feeling
which must be the basis of good conslitu-
ton. Of course SO thinking and feeling,
naturally set our face against every
thing and every man, not known Of the
true stamp. We opposed the nomination
Of Mr.. Steele all we knew how, wherefore,
his friends well know, and oil may infer by
the remarks which we have made. His
success, while it calls upon US to yield 10
the expressed will OF the majority, does
not alter the facts in the case, and will not
permit US with regard for the truth, TO
endorse it,in our opinion as right or polite.
But the majority, however that majority
may have been Influenced, have confidence
in him and want him as their candidate. -
According to the usages and principles by
which we are governed and wherein lies
our strength and usefulness, aee, by which
we mean all who belong to party and pro-
Tess to be governed by its usage,ar called
upon TO sustain the nomination. 1t is the
best we can do. Boiling will help us none
for it could only result in the selection Of
wings, and in this case is the remark ap-
plicable, that even a bad Democrat is bet
ter than good whig. With this one ex-
ception we do not think the ticket could be
beitered, land as we have reason TO be thank
full that among so many names, there are
so few TO object TO, all may and doubt
less will support the ticket and the whole
ticket; not only as duty bu, with good feel
ing, and confidence,

Thus by the rich endo wments Of nature
the vast expenditures necessary to open ma
vigation in other portions Of our country are
here to very great extent obviated. The
tolls may be extremely light, and these nat.
ura endowments through our beautiful and
fertile valley should not be dsregarded. -
On motion it was
Resolced, That the foregoing Report be
adopted. On motion it was
Resolped, That there be committee of

Both Houses of Congress have agreed
to adjourn on the 10th of August, which
will be Monday of week after next. The
Chicago Democrat says: under date of the
10th July
There is now fair prospect that the la
bors of Congress will be brought 10 close.
This morning the Senate passed a resolu
ton to adjourn on the 10Th Of August, and
the House concurred in it, as soon as COM
niunIcated. So the time is fixed, and
nothing bat industry is required TO finish
The public business.
The Senate is engaged in the discussion
of the Tariff question. Most OF the Wing
Senators will probably attempt TO enligh-
ten the country on the subject There is
an evident design to get up panic, and
thus if possible defeat the measure, or at
least prejudice the administration.
Several bills Of great importance laws
recently passed through both Houses -
The port of entry bill, by which colec-
ton district is established for Chicago
The bill providing for the sale of the Min
eral lands, and The graduation bill, were
all OF deep interest at the west.
The Harbor and River Bill will GENE
up for consideration tomorrow in the
House, and will doubtless pass.
On The nth, we find, that press Of bus
mess prevented any action on the river and
Harbor bill, but Mr.. Dix announced his
deerm ination to have it called upon the
succeeding day. the eighteenth We may
soon expect intelligence Of its fate.

/. Ia declaring in SC, ia against bail, it is
no ground of objection to the proceedings,
that the writ vodches the record for the
affidavit to warrant the ca sd and also the
ca sa; but the declaration contains an
averment that these papers have been lost
since the writ was issued.
2. Under the practice in this State, it is
unnecessary 10 set out in sci ia against
bail. either, that the principal appeared
to the action against him, or 10 show in
the declaration the return on the sci ia.
3. Mere irregularities IN the issuance of the
ca sa, as thatthere was not fifteen days
between its teste and return. or that it did
not remain in the sheriff office mum
Der OF days, cannot be urged as defence
by bail.
4. 1t is compsten. on The plea of mil tiel
record for the plaintiff in SC, ia against
bail, to prove that the affidavit 10 warrant
the process, as well as the writ, have bee n
lost, and to show their contents by parol
evidence.
8. An affidavit setting out the principal
and interest due upon judgment in one
sum, Is sufficient to warrant the is suance
of ca sd.
9. In this State judgments bear interest, and
therefore the bail is liable TO the same
extent as the principal. unless the pay
ment of the sum sworn to, creates an ex-
cepiion. and it is proper to give Judgment
against bail, for the judgment, interest and
costs.

New Terms of Advertising.

The accumulation on our books of debts due
US in other counties, and in other States amp
the great difficulty attendant upon their colec-
tion-to say nothing OF the tax thereby imposed
on us, and the losses we are forced to sustain.
by many of our distant debtors neglectinQ to
send us the amounts they may severally owe
forces on us the necessity of adopting mode
of computing the cost of publications to be
made in our columns, which can be easily UNDER
stood, and which will enable our patrons to en-.
close, with their advertisements the money to
pay for them. Our new terms will not vary,
materially, from the old ones and where there
is any change it will be found to be in favor
Of the advertiser For example, we propose
to make 80 words, or less, one square more
than 80, and less than 100 two squares; more
than 100, and less than $40 three squares, &c.
Under the old system the square averages about
Is words.
The price of advertising will not be changed;
the change in the mode of computing the guam
tity Of matter in advertisements, is adopted spe
cially with view to relieve ourself from the
evils of the credit system.
These rules, we propose, shall apply in all
cases where the persons making publication re-
side out of this cry, except they be Sheriff.
Coroners, Registers in Chancery, Clerks or
Court or other public officers.
Where we open an account with officers OF
court and others Of that lass,we reserve to our
sell the right to charge the old prices.
