Of The passage Of this resolution The
Democrat says:
The resolution to te fond ia the proeee lings

ers. and o'tensiby passed at the very close uI the
convention, when a majority OF tie delegates
from Perry had left, is an insult 10 the hard money
democracy Of this county.
This resolution was kept back until those VIII,
Case knew would oppose It's passage had left, anC
then, the very last thing but motion To adjourn
was this resolution offered aud carried by Mr.

: ed and that the Sentinel thinks the sec
: Ond resolution fairly passed. The pru

both sides.

that no blame is attributed TO them
All! The secret history of the Logal

There is something rotten in Denmark
and these proceedings. So far as expose
