MEssRs. Fulton & PRICE: You are aware that
members ofour State Legislature be elected next
August also Sheriff for the county It is uncertain
whether the former members of the Legislature will
consent to become candidates for collection but be
that as it may, there is vacancy, occasioned by
the absence of Mr.. AsHE, now member of Congress.
1t is usual, believe, when vacancies occur, that
County Convention selects suitable persons to fill
them. This has been the practice of the Democratic
party for years past and presume that a Conven-
ton will be held some time this Spring, when can
didates will be nominated This plan has been adop-
ted to obtain the concentration of action and it may
be important in the present instance that we should
adhere to it.
In the election Of Sheriff, however, the Democrats
of this county have never heretofore thought fit to
make any nomination by Convention, for the reason
that there never has been any apprehension of the
election of person Of opposite politics to fill that
important Office. It is now well known, that our
worthy fellow-citizen, OWEN FENNELL. Esq, who
has ably and impartiay discharged the duties of
that Office for series of years, will not again con-
sent to become candidate. His retiring is regret
ted by the whole county; for, although the county
may be provided with as efficient officer, that of
fee cannot be better filled, by more atiable man,
or ADLER officer In paying this merited tribute OF
respect to Mr. FENNELL, | do without rejecting
on the qualifications Of Others or desiring to wound
the feelings of any man Such is not my intention

With other friends meeting,
Say, will you think of mel
Oh! never while I'm living
Thy land will forget;
Though were always giving,
I'd still be in thy debt.
So while keep my
