Fellow-citizens: We have seen in the Enqui-
rer over the signature Of "Homo," communi-
Gallon recommending Capt. N. A. Thompson
10 the Voters Of Hanover. We endorse freely
every Thing "Homo" has said concerning Capt.
Thompson; and will say more, that ne is The OH
" man with whom we can certainly triumph
We should like TO find out "Homo," in order thai
we may give him a heaI,y shake Of the hand on
the day Of election But We would mos respect
folly ask "Homo," would il not be an empty
form 10 call Convention As We think that il
is understood generally tha, Capt Thompson is
The candidate, and Convention al this Indictment
season OF the year would cause many OF his
friends, who are ipfrm, 10 trudge, unnecessarily
through the mud and mirer 10 attend: moreover
their determinations are unalierably liked Oh

Capt Thompson from different parts OF The coun-
~ (Which we have SEEM and his willingness 10
obey The calls made upon hun, we had supposed
thai il was settled that he was 10 be The candidate
al The ensuing election.
Many are OF the opinion, that Conventions IN
the way they are usually conducted, are anlire-
publican in lheirIendency; that they are no more
nor less than the Chairman saying who shall be
the candidate; for he is generally man who has
his tavoriles, and can readily appoint commit
