his advocates in this county during his re-
cent tour proves conclusively that they dare
not submit the deeds of the administration
| to public investigation. We deem the
; facts that, when earnestly requested, first
by members of the whig state central,
county and township committees, and sec
ondly by men of both parties, not irrespon-
sibly but by cOurteously expressed cores
pondence, to allow open discussion, he and
his friends refused it, as beyond dispute ad-
mitting the weakness ofhis cause, and show
ing his consciousness that scrutiny of his
acts must work his condemnation, and that
his boastful desire to meet VIM. Waldo
was inspired only by desire to create po-
litical capital and not to court investiga-
ton.
Sd. That the manner of the attempt of
Mr.. Bigler to avoid discussion with a
champion Of the party in this county prop
erlv appointed was discreditable rttSe,
savoring more of the demagogue than the
statesman, in seeking tor create side, per-
sonal issues, where only questions of prin-
ciple and state policy were in question,
within the province of the humblest cit
izcn.
4th That we cannot allow Mr. Bigler
to throw the odium of mal-administration
from his own shoulders on those of his
party. We hold both responsible, and
know no distinction between the man and
his supporters that can exonate him from
the censure due their acts,
9TH That we highly approve Of the re-
form platform as adopted by the whig state
convention at Sacramento, and that in
VIM. Waldo we recognize the philanthro-
pist, patriot, statesman, and man of busi-
ness-that in his integrity we have unwa-
vering confidence, and will use every hon
orable effort to secure him at least one
thousand majority in this county in Sep
tember next with every assurance that,
from his antecedents, the state will be pro-
tected by him from unconstitution en-
croacfments Of legislative and executive
power. and rescued from those corruptions
that are eating into our resources, destroy
ing our credit that have raised up debt
Of $4,0O0,000, caused yearly excess Of eX-
penditures over the total receipts Of rev.
cnue Of half a million, and are destroying
our moral standing among our sister states.
9th. That the state ticket generally meets
or appreciation, and shall have our undi-
vided support.
7th. That we reject an toto the doctrine
that Congress should be memorialized by
the Legislature for the sale of the mineral
lands.
On motion it was Foted, That all
candidates before this convention shall
pledge themselves personally or thro'
their friends, that they will use their
utmost exertions for their own cleo
ton, and the success of the Whig par
ty, and to abide By the action of the
convention.
The convention then proceeded to
vote uira roce by townships, first for

Mr.. Conn was then declared the
unanimous choice of the convention.

free use of the hall for purposes of

duties after raising money for the
purposes of the campaign, and giving
