Ninth ballot-54 votes.
M s - w. T. SINCLAIR.
A majority OF our readers are. perhaps,
familiar with the political reputation Of
Mr.. PuGH. He was elected member Of
the House Of Representatives, from Hamil-
ton county in 1848 and again in l849, and
although one Of the youngest members in
the Legislature. he won an enviable rep
utation as man OF decided talent. Dur
ing the exciting debate on the question OF
the division Of Hamilton county for Rep.
resentative purposes, he sustained himself
in manner that placed him in position
rs one Of the ablest-probably the ablest-
debatsr in that body. On the adoption OF
the New Constitution. Mr.. PUGH was nom
mated and elected Attorney General. AT
Ahe Convention which nominal his sue
.cessor, he would have been renominated
without opposition had he not positively
declined q reelection. As Attorney Gen.
.esai he ranked with the ablest lawyers Of
ahe State. His election as U. S. Senator
will be acceptable to the Democracy.
