The Oxford Convention.

Some of the wing papers. as well as some of
the "5o'ters," have given the impression abroad
that, at the late Convention in Oxford County
when Hon. Charles Andrews was nominated
for Congress, decided opinion against the
election of Hon. ii. Hamlin to the U. s. Sen
ate, was expressed, because some resolutions
favorable to his election were laid on the table.
But this is not Tie fact. A very large majority
of that Convention are strongly in favor of Mr..
HAMIIN and believe, as every true democrat
does. that he is justly entitled to election
and that all attempts to defeat him wrong,
and will surely produce disastrous effects to
the democratic party, as well as bring political
disgrace on the heads of those who melted and
insist upon this opposition.
The candidate for Congress from that dis
trict, (Ion. c. ANDREWS is a strong friend of
Mr.. HAMLIN, and earnest advocate for his
election. He does not shrink from this avow-
al. 1t was so understood and distinctly stated
at the Convention which nominated him.
The Oxford Democrat explains the action
of The Oxford Congressional Convention on
certain resolutions in relation 10 the Senator
question pending before the Legislature, by
SAYING
Resolutions were introduced by James +.
| Bragg, Jr., Esq, favorable to the election OF
Hon. Hannibal Hamin, to the U. S. Senate
These resolutions were no doub; expressive
OF the wishes ola great majority of the men,
bers present, but it was thought unadvsabe
and improper 10 pass them, as it would seem
TO be speaking for the whole district when
but small portion was included in the con-
venton, and particularly after Mr.. Hamlin
has become the nominee of the party 10y a
fair expression Of the majority.
In relation TO the Congressional nomina-
ton, the Democrat says that on the an
nouncemeni of the result of the baloting-
Col. Andrews, The nominee, came forward
and addressed the convention in a speech
characterized by great propriety, patriotism
and eloquence, and sgnlfed his acceptance
OF the nomInaton-expressing his thanks
therefor, TO the convention and the Democra-
cy of the District avowing his unwavering
attachment 10 democratic principles-his
love for The Union, and in case OF election
devotion 10 the interests of his constituents.
His speech was effective in the highest de-
gree, and was received will enthusiastic aI-
pause.
Judge Rawson then came forward and
addressed the convention in an earnest and
effective style, clearly showing il the duty of
every democrat in the district TO give his
cordial and hearty support TO the nomination
of Col. Andrews, and avowed his determine
ton TO do all in his power TO secure his cleo
ton. His remarks were received with
rounds of applause.

Not Suited.

Our contemporary of the Tribune, with its
political friends, are not only likely to disagree
about their own candidate 10 Congress, but
they are evidently not suited with the nomina-
ton made by the democrats. The ruse evil
IDENTIFY is, to attempt to stir up some disaffec-
ton in the democratic ranks, to divert attention
from the manifest djscord and wrangling among
their own friends.
A few more such articles as appeared in the
Tribune of Saturday last would effect the OBJ
ject evidently intended, as well as the de-
struction of the present whig incumbent, the
Orford Competitor, who claims a re-nomna-
ton, and thus stands in the way of the Lincoln
aspirant. We suspect our neighbor is trying
to castigate his friends over our humble Shout
ders, when he declares that the ''Oxford por-
ton of the district compose but about one quar-
ter of the whole district, and being situated i'll
the interior of the State, knows about much
of the interests and wants of the Lincoln por-
ton of the district, as the inhabitants Of Asia
Minorr
Now we protest against such an underhand
ed mode of procedure this. If our whig
friend wants to .skill off, Mr.. GooDENow. let
him come out in bold, manly manner, but if
he fears TO do this, let him ''forever hold his
peace"
But the attempt TO prejudice the democratic
nominee, Col. ANDREWS, by such shallow pre-
texts as the above, that he was nominated by a
faction, or that he is an anti-proviso democrat,
will prove entirely futile. The ignorance of
the author, and of all those who ''dabble in
what they know not Of is only made the more
glaring by such a course.
| In relation TO the s'HamIin resolves which
the Tribune says were defeated and repudiat-
ed, we have word to say, and we doubt not
the explanation will be perfectly satisfactory to
the Lincoln democracy, if not to the ever-ac-
commodating, remarkably interested whg
friends.
1t is true that Resolutions advocating the
election of Hon. Hannibal Hamlin, were intro
duced into the Convention, but at such an in
opportune moment and under such circum-
stances, to Justify the laying of them upon
| the table. That the resolutions were express
sive of the wishes of great majority of the
members present, is undoubtedly true-but it
was thought unadvisable and improper to pass
them, as it would seem to be speaking for the
whole district when but small portion was in
cluded in the Convention, and particularly af-
ter Mr. Hamlin has become the nominee of the
party by fair expression of the MAJORITY
The resolutions were laid on the table bv
friend of Mr.. Hamin, upon fair understand
| ing and conclusion that such would be the best
course
We hold ourselves in readiness 10 repel all
such unfounded, ungenerous aspersons on the
character of the democratic nominee, Col An
DREws, as the Tribune seems disposed to in
dulge in, and willing to meet and rebut all at
| tscks upon his political character, wherein his
democracy and attachment to democratic pr1noi-
otes are questioned.
