On motion Of H. o Ryerson, the fol-
lowing was made the order Of business,
which was adopted:
ResoLced - That the Convention do
now proceed TO nominate candidates for
the several offices to he filled at the ensu-
ing election, in the following manner:
| lst.-A Senator from the county at
large.
2d.-One Member of Assembly from
the upper portion of the county.
| 9d.-One Member Of Assembly from
the lower portion of the county.
4th-Sheriff. Fliih-County Clerk
6th--Treasurer. 7th-Dlstrict Attorney.
Sth-Assessor. 9th-Surveyor. 10th
Public Administrator. l1th-Coroner.
Before proceeding to nominate, Col.
VIM. Hatfield addressed the Convention.
He stated that his friends had named him
for some time back, IN connection with
the office of Senator. He came here as
il candidate, but on further consideration,
and advice of his friends, he would with
draw his name in favor Of Mr.. Walkup,
who, he WAS happy to see. was such Il
universal favorite with the party.
On motion, JOSEPH WALKuP was then
unanimously declared the chdice of the
Convention for the office of Senator.
Col. Hatfield then proposed that Dr.
Harveyvile he declared the nominee for
Assembly from the upper portion of the
County hich motion, being seconded,
was about being put to vote, when a
spirited discussion arose between several
gentlemen, two of whom strongly adhered
to the claim of Patrick Canney, esq. to
the nomination. Among other reasons
urged were that Mr.. Canney efficiently aud
honorably represented this county in the
last Legislature, that he was ever at his
post of duty through sunshine and floods,
that he was ever on the alert in consulting
the wishes and the interests of his conStit-
uents, aud could well he congratulated on
his return among them, in the language of
holy writ: "well done thou good and faith
full servant" When representative per
forms his duty towards his constituents
the first term, there is no good reason why
he should be prescribed for second,
therefore Patrick Canney had claims to
uoI1ttIdtiOu WHICH StOulu not Ue over
looked, and especially as DR.. Harveyvile
was comparatively new man in the
country, and unacquainted with the wants
and wishes of the people. While on the
other hand, Mr.. Canney was.
Col. Hat6eldt explained that in conside-
ration of his withdrawal, he thought the
vote by acclamation was as applicable in
the case Of j. w. Harveyville as Mr..
Walkup. He was willing, however, TO
let the nomination be balIoted for, as he
merely had intended to save time for the
Convention.
The Convention then proceeded to vote
by viua uoce which resulted as follows:
P. CANNEY, 6S votes.
]. w. HARvEyvILLE, 90 votes.
Mr.. Carney was then on motion de-
clared unanimously nominated.
The Convention then proceeded to
nominate another candidate for Assembly,
which resulted as follows:
B. F. MYERS, 81 votes
ABRAHAM BRoNK,- SO votes
