District Convention,

As It is now entirely out Of the question
for District Convention TO be held on the
% OF June next, We suggest, as a very
suitable occasion, that the Convention NEE
at Albemar!e, on Wednesday, the 4lh Of
July next THIS will afford time sufficient,
so that Delegates from each Captains Beat
can be selected aud a Convention DO or.
ganlzed, " fully and fairly representing
the wishes Of the Wings Of this District.
Let The Wings OF each Captains company
see that efiicien, means be taken 10 have
Delegates appointed, should this PROPOSE.

vlduas be appointed that will be certain to
attend. We know Of no plan tha, cso

animated 10 US BY a friend who is anxious TO
have the difficulties under which wo now
labor removed. Ii must be apparent TO
every Wing that certain defea, awaits us
II things remain as they are; and we hope
no wing, who has The success of his party
at heart, will object to a plan which we
conceive to be as fair as any proposition
that can be made. And we think tina, The
nominee Of Convention so constituted
should receive the undivided supper, Of the
Wings of this District. Let tho Wings

Who ought 10 bear the loss in such a
casel Most assuredly the individuals,
who carelessly and negligently perform
ed the duties of their office and allowed
innocent me n to suffer- But this has not
been the case. Suit was instituted a.
gainst the sureties, but the matter was
finally compromised. after making still
further deductions, and bonds were given
for the payment of S6,427. in six annual
inslaIments, without interest. This adds
another TO the specimens of 5lunders'
which are gradually cutting up the peo-

The Commissioners, after having, by
their own fault, caused this large defal-

or rather the exposure, compromised a
way the peoples money without authori-
