for Senatorial delegate and give full and candid statement
Of the that impelled them give public

the ordeal Of public investigation.
The author of card Appeals be acquainted with
the politics Of The genteneo at the meeting referred

Gratis who have acted in with the party, (some Of
them Tor nesr halt century and have ever supported
democratic aud measures and look back
The veiudes Of public discussion to consistent political
aud this day rejoice the of Democratic
enterprise over the ruins Of len fue's, andal os for
saken whiggery.
Mr. r. exp e.ses himself as truly asionished Ia fud
publication of this kind in the Scutnel-pTay why not in
the SnBe the Of party the liberal exponent Of
principles whose columns open the accused
well But Surprised he that such
meeting should have been held without his knowledge
Now sir not designed be without his knowled
we Could certainly not have been gTahed than 10 have
mac zoe gehteHsh present ana as notice was pos"o UP IN
front Of the Court House expressly for his information he
also verbally informed ny General Mroy the morn
ing Of the meeting and to u douby supl'ng that he
advised Of intention. But the supeTaIive
prise Of Mr. R. the sp and details of the preamble
and resolutions he seems however, 10 think thar the people
Of Buck Creek township will do right when the facts
made appaTeBtpur thus mOdesty shielded behind
the gib Of ignorance. Whilst hold that fully in
Of the cts nevertheless would have been
thankful for further information which had right
expect the hands Of Mr. r., and for which have pa
tienty waited but waited in vain We have acted has
ty but from mature deibeIaon, therefore determine
ton Is not TO be changed
Mr. R. out to enumerae the errors cf the preamble
and resolutions; he says acity agreed he believes
between the counties Hancock and Madison, the
ddae for Senator should be citizen of Madison county
and that candidate for Senatorial Delegate should be
citizen Of and selected the county of Hancock Now
cir, this not iac but permanent arrangement The
Chatham of the Central Committee of Hancock county
ALL O1eh
notice them stated that very important that
the delegates should all be in attendance; this meeting Mr. r.
says was for the purpose OF consulting upon the mode OF
selecting a candidate.
To US it is strange a meeting should be called
der such particular notice consult upon the mode Of
Letting candidate. What the modes Of selecting
ddstes, the incaces involved require such
particular investigation Who Of all the delegates could
not went into convention and have acted obedi-
any of the modes Of selecting candidates And il
the Chairman of the Central Committee supposed the dele
gates grossly ignorant. must say in their BEHALF that
he greatly moderated THEN intelligence. The committee
will be pleased TO wait any gentleman that will furnish
facts Ia justify such suppOsItJn
Mr. X. says that all the delegates. he believes, not
notified Strange indeed that the Cha Of the Genital
Committee would notify Of the delegates that it
important that all should be present. and yet leave
portion Of them unnOiihed. much fer consistency
In obedience he CALL the delegates of eight townships
met at Greenfield. A very respectable gentleman from
Gieen township avered that he authorized by the dele
gates Of his township in their stead and ecev
ed SUCH In accordance with the agreement between the
counties above stated the delegates took vote who should
be the candidate for Senatorial delegate which resulted IN
the choice Of General Mloy; he receiving five votes, Mr.
r. two, Mr. Shockey one. and Mr. Evans After this
gentleman finding that he had failed to the result
he anticipated urged upon tho delegates and m our opinion
uconsSteDty take for second CHOICE which
suited favor Of Mr. Foster And in proof that the above
selection should permanent vote taken whether
or not the above selection should be binding and de-
cided in the affirmative.
The Peudelon Convention then met the 4lh Of May
Each township liz Hancock county epesen,ed. Mad-
son county claimed to have full representation; and Mad
county, in accordance with the az cement, made her
nomination for Senator and Hancock co-operated the de-
eson Then why did not Madison Cooperate in The nom-
nation Of General Mroy, his nomination had been pre-
viOusy made by the Hancock delegates, aud urged by
Mr. Phpott Esq whose course cordially approve and
whose democratic consistency highly appreciate.
1t will perhaps be urged that General Mioy did not re-
ceive majority of the Townships; if this objection be urged
bears with equal force against Mr. r. for he but six
votes out Of full representation Of the Townships of Han
cock, which not Dy Of twelve, and General Mloy
got FIVE of nine. which majority Of the Townships
represented at Greenfield and Blue River Township
resented by but delegate at PendetOD who voted for
Mr. r. after two delegates the 9th om the same town
ship voted for General Moy Now Mr. R. boasts Of having
received nomination fairly and by the confidence of the
peoples but how fairly leave for the considerable 10 infer
Mr. r. claims have taken in procuring the nom-
nation, yet is certain that Mr.. r. in some parts
Of the county showing letter requesting him to hold
and for what pu pose it will be for Mr.. II. 10
The Pendeton convention, regard piece of wire
working tTiekeyi in proof Of which is only necessary to
state the fac-One the OF eight Townships in
Madison county which third OF the whole vote of
the district This hold be effort of the minority, to
foce their decisions aority which violation
Of democratic ceed-a creeds founded upon principle
must vanish when raised the light Of reason aud when
we leave principle leave all that is substantial in politics
and morals.
The resolution not admitting of reply, we will now open

to give them.
THE committee here enter into certain reasons, which
being of personal character better fitted for discus
