ncpare THE CONVENTION.

II was our intention mol 10 have attempted
sketch Of The Gesullory and excited debate in the
two evening sessions oi The late Legislative Con-
yention. We were aware Of the difficulty oil
making a faithful repor, OF what was said du-
ring The rather angry discussion; we were also sa'
listed that, in the heat Of debate, many words
were spoken on both sides, which he speakers IN
their cooler moments would regret But, as many
gentlemen have expressed desire that The Peo-
pie should be informed OF the range OF The debate,
we Shall endeavor, al The earlies, practicable mo-
men,, 10 present il as fully and fairly as we can'
so as "nolhing TO e1tenuate nor sci down auah' IN
malice" The debate was marked ny oursls oi
imprisoned eoquence- but, though shafts oil saf-
casm fell thick aud heavy, we were pleased 10 see
that the Convention separated, without The slight
g, nersonal ill-wjll between the different mem
bers
We are the more induced 10 furnish fair e1-
position OF the sayings OF The Convention, as The
WHO nress have endeavored 10 make The most
Of The scenes, for their own party capital. They
have eagerly watched This "iamily quarrel" OF
their political opponents, and seem 10 eoa' over
lhe rich teas, OF Democratic discussions. But
This is no, The first time that they have counted
wi,hou, their host" Often has The cup been
dashed from their lips on The instant Of enjoy.
