Proceedings Of the Clayton County Democratic Con-
vantion.


Below we publish the proceedings of the
Democratic County Convention of Clayton
The proceedings of this Convention, like
nearly all democratic Conventions was entirely
harmonious DR.. Fredrick Andross was unani-
mously nominated as a candidate for Clerk of
the District Court DR.. Andross is gentle
man of decided intelligence and worth and
unless we are greatly deceived, will unite a
strong vote in his favor. Certainly our demo-
cratic friends Of Clayton have been fortunate in
this selection and we trust and expect now that
they have persuaded the Doctor to take the
track, that they will stand by him until he is
entirely out Of the goods
With Pierce and King as our national Stand
ard barers, the state Ticket which appears a,
the head of our columns, a discreet selection for
Con gress and such men as we have selected for
the Legislature and for county officers, the
stirdy democracy Of our state and especially of
the North Western portion of it, were never in
a better condition to make hard and successful
fight. Let as but keep the time honored and
time enduring principles of party before us
and give 10 those whom We select to protect and
defend these principles, warm and active sup
port, and greater national and state triumph is
before us, than the country has ever before
recorded Such we feel is to be the case, for O
democratic tornado is approaching which if we
are not greatly mistaken, will sweep whiggery
so far into the regions of 'sSalt River" that i,
never will find its way back.
