great display Of eoquence about the usages Of the demo-
cratic party lie good popular orator and the great
est enemy Mr. Buchanan has In the of his OBJ
servatons he stated that he resigned candidate

had any serious intention of running for Go

break up the Convention to defeat Mr. Buchanan
in some other way. There is doubt that the
convention has really reference tho election of
President of the United States than Governor Of this
State If Bigier gets the nomination tomorrow, he
probably WILL there is to be meeting in the even

velopements of party tactics may be expected
