CONVENTIONS.

other he does not know enough, however, OF
our local matters, to know which committee he
has belabored so severely, and we are glad that
in his ignorance he has drubbed his peculiar par
tizans. Everybody in this region knows to whom
the "democratic' name rightfuly belongs, and
who are "bolters" body knows that at a
union convention, held last fall for the nominal
ton of county officers, both previous parties met,
and nominated set of officers The Hunkers
joining and working as tremendously and happy
at the time, as could be expected of men of their
temperaments, and dispositions. Soon however,
discontinued few called another convention,
and nominated another set of officers, which
met the same success, that the old bunker fac
ton will always meet, when they 90 into poll
tics on their own hook in this vicinity
The fact is, a union with these haters of hu-
mainly is impossible, on any terms, and MEN are
wasting their words, and fooling away their time
in any such endeavors.
They have adopted as their motto, Better to
reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven" and thew
will stickto it until birthstone loses its odor har-
monlous to their noses.
The value of another union with these sbolters.'
can be calculated by the value of the last, and the
duration of another conglomeration, can be CAL
cuated by the duration of the last. They will
adhere to any nomination. if their names are on
the ticket, they are perfectly willing free sellers
should vote for THEM and help them to good
office; but when you ask them to abide nom-
nation that they themselves have assisted in max
ing, they don't do it unless the nominees are all
old hunkers.
For the benefit of our new neghbor, who can
not be expected to be as we'll posted in our mat
tiers as those who have been familiar with them
much longer time. We give some of the res

admission into the Union of any slave State
Resolved That hold TO and advocate the doctrine of
free and equal suffrage.
Resolved That rreconcilably opposed to the FIR
SLAVE LAW lately passed by Congress, believing
that it is subversve of the first principles of natural liber

that destroys all security for liberty, by invading sa-

IN
position to It's passage, and hereby instruct the NONI
NEE of this Convention if elected 10 every effort for
its repeal.
And that there may by no mistake about the
complexion of that convention, we subioin the
names of those who were appointed the central
committee.
II there is more ban one on the list, who ev

The fact is, the old hunkers in tins region are
the 'sboers
The Free Soil party in this district are the on
ly DEMOCRATS.
They have consistent course of conduct to
appeal to-they have correct theory, and they
have always practiced in accordance with it
and they have the organizaton-the machinery
If it is worth anything, after having been put

the part of the hunkers, all they will have TO do
will be to make their practice correspond with
their theory-to act to their r6splutons-in 9TH
er words to vote for none but free soil men in
theory and practice.
And the independent majority of men in this
district, are determined to hold them to it they
could hardly believe your nice bunker senti-
sentiments, and so they would not vote FOR Ell
more. They knew DURKEE WAS TRUE, and
they voted for, and elected hm-and so will they
always act.
You cannot find the bone and sinew Of this
district, whiting and dickering like politicians

a vote.
Let those interested, stick pin there, and re-
