TIE CoNGEEssIoNAL CONVENTION. Two
weeks ago, in aluding 10 the subject Of the Con-
yressonai Convention IN this District, we re-
commended that it be hrl on the 1lth day of
August; unto that day, being as long as it ought
to be deferred, in cur opinion, to give the candi-
Date time 10 CANVASS the district. We called the
attention Of the other Wing papers Of the Dis
trct TO the subject, but thus far only two Of them,
a. we have seen, have referred to it. The Rur-
tDrd Gazette is G''he opinion tlat is a suitable
time and TIE KeM Nsws thinks it ought to be
deferred still later and names the , lst IF August
We believe the Nth leaves too little time, in
justice to the candidate, whoever he may be,
bat there did not sceIn time 10 have the county
convention So ~ to aluw it earlier, and we ma
lGcd the / ILL after consultation with gentlemen
acquainted with the district.
The Central Committee of this county have
called a county convention for the sereaM of Au-
Gust, aud Cecil will be ready for the District
convention by the 1lth. As that convention
Is to be held in Chestertown, we think Kent could
have its delegates ready by the day we named:
The Nous VIII have seen that the Congressional
conventions are being held earlier throughout
III" Siate--somc being already over, and others
10 take place during July We think it better
that the nth day of August be fixed on, and as
there II but little time 10 spare, we again call the
attention otthe Wing papers and wing politicians
OF the district to the subject.
TIE Liarford Gazette copies the remarks we
made in favor Of the denomination Of Mr..
Evang, AID states that as yet it has heard no
other candidate but him mentioned about this
fact there seems to be but one opinion that rhc
is nominated he will be trmnphanlly elected

TrT MARLBORO GAzrrTF.-Geo. W. Wilson
Tsf,, Proprietor of the Marlboro Gazette. has
retired from the Editorial field on account Of i'll
health, and is succeeded bv his brother Thomas
J. Wilson, Esq. The Gazette is one Of our best
country exchanges, aud we regret the necessity
which induces the withdrawal of its former
rrorrletor, who has been favorite with us as an
Editor and Who in the few times we have met
him, left us highly favorable impression Of
him rs man.
The new Editor who writes very neat salu-
tatory, throws aside the neutral earb of The
Gazette, and hoists the Wing flag, which, OF
course, will not make the paper less acceptab bic
toy We wish our friend Wilson speedy re-
turn TO health and both new and old Editor every
possible success.
