Nominations being declared in order, Mr..
Switzler, of Charlton. said
Mr.. PRESIDENT, rise for the purpose of
explaining TO the members of this Conven-
ton the reasons which will influence the
delegates Of Charlton county in the course
which they intend pursuing in casting the
vote of that county. AT a meeting Of the
wings of Charlton county, which appointed
delegates TO this Convention, Casper w.
Bell, Of Brunswick, was declared the first
choice of the wings in that county, and the
delegates instructed TO vote accordingly
This meeting was unanimous in the choice
of Mr.. Bell, and to this choice every whig
in the county responded hearty amen.-
At the time the nomination or recommends
ton was made, it was hoped and believed
by the friends of Mr.. Bell that noiwithstand
ing limitations which had gone Out, he would
not become a candidate, he might be induced
to permit his friends to use his name before
this convention and acting upon such be-
lief, and looking upon Mr.. b. as an able and
efficient political debater, one upon whom
the wing party might safely rely in such a
contest, they determined to pass the instruc-
tons alluded to before. Subsequently TO
that meeting, as one Of the delegates to
this convention, and as friend of Mr.. b.,
| sought personal interview with him, in
which he declined positively the use of his
name before this Convention and authorized
me fully 10 withdraw his name in the event
of its being brought toward by the delega-
ton from Charlton. The reasons which
haze induced Mr.. Bell to this course do
not feel authorized to give or make public;
yet to my mind they are such as would be ap-
provedby all if known. In the approaching
canvass he feels deep interest, and will be
found sound and unhinching whig, ready
and willing TO do good service to the cause
and to second the action of this Convention
: Mr.. b. has 10 some extent been subjected
to unpleasant implications and suspicious
which placed him in an unpleasant position
before some portions of this district, know
With most Of these circumstances | happier

saying that not an act or word of his lilt
since have known him would justify sucl

been truer to his post than he; no man oc
cupying his position as private citizen ha
contributed more of his energy and ability
for advancing the interest of the party. Up
on the stump, in the press, and in formin
organizations, he has contributed valuabl
and important services, for which his fel
low wings in Charlton prize him and fec
grateful. On no occasion has he ever bee
found wanting, when private interests woul

, for time, but in this race, sir, | feel wal
ranted in saying he has no personal feelin
to mingle whatever. Mr.. President,
=, have thought it due to the Convention, du
: to the delegates of Charlton, and due TO M
: Bell TO say what have said, and in view
, these considerations the delegation of Char
" iton will east their votes for Col. Davis

Mr.. Switzler then nominated Col. j.
DAVIS, of Howard.
/. Mr.. woodward nominated JAMES
LrNDLEY, of Lewis.
4 No other nominations being made, ba

of Mr. Davis was withdrawn, and M
Lindley unanimously nominated.
If On motion, a committee, consisting
Messrs. Swilzler, woodward, and Shank

l. Mr.. Lindley, inform them of the actic

\. ed and introduced them to the convention.
Col. Davis spoke first, giving hearty a
quiescence to the proceedings of the co.
vention, pledging himself to the work
q q electing the nominee, and calling upon Il
a members TO renew their zeal IN behalf
Wing principles. He spoke at some lengt
T. and was vociferously applauded.
