mittees as hnhed by the President. 1t
will be seen that the talent of the Con.
vention, which is very proper, is concen-
trated upon the Judiciary committee
Lawyer Mccormick, Of Adams, we sup
pose, was put on for the purpose of con
trast. No better subject could have
been selected From the complexion of
the committee on apportionment, as far
as we know the opinions of its members,
we should infer that it will be favorable
To the single district system. The com
mittee on Banks aud Currency is suti'
ciently hard to satisfy the wants OF The
most ultra friends Of pot-metal curren-
cy. The Committee on Education is a
good one, composed of men VINO will la
boz for tho advancement of the cause
From the committee on Public Debts and
Works, we do not expect any desperate
or ultra action. These we consider Il G
important committees so far as any action
that may he had by the Convention is
concerned: ...-....
