We, Of the rural districts, salt pointers aud Others,
have reflected some" upon the Doaioation OF
Judge Bronson by the bunker adamantines, and
the subsequent proceedings of their late State
vention, lately held in this city. The delegaies
composing that body comprised q large amount Of
talent, and much responsibility as eve convened
for Q similar purpose. There were many old vete-
rams, well known as "solid men" among the leaiers,
who have not taken any active part IN politics for
yeas, but TO the late gathering, as they sal
TO place the rudder Of the democratic ship IN the
hands of such plots would not again founder 1t
upon the rocks Of fanaticism and abaliti 'nism. A
large majority were men whose counsels have ever
been wise, whose Judgments unwarped, and
whose action has never been swayed TO and fro
by seducers maconteDts, disOrganizers, sofia, ab0
onists free soiiers OF any other agitstors In these
latter days Of political iniquity. Their object was
not office seeking, because they stood In decided
hostility to the late and present State and national
administrations, and could accept nothing. Their
great desire was to lay foundation for platform
in 1856, when the next Presidential race viii come
Oh, upon which they intend to gather the party,
North and Soutn.
The nomination Of Judge Bronson was necessary

The conduct of Pierce would not have been 20 die
tincty and emphaticaly rebuked. Nothing has
struck such terror 70 the hearts OF the aiminisra

from the Custom House, that characterization Vas

The convention was equally bolt and airing in its
declaration on the Nebraska question. 1t was AZ

ani,nity, the convention declared the principles
OF the national democracy, which, after the
present hallucina.ion shall have subsided,
they believe, will be the prevailing voice OF the
nation. They apprchend that long before the con-
test Of 1866 arrives, the tornado which IL now
spreading Its fury over the Northern States Will
have blown out, leaving the political atmosphere

The nomination Of Bronson, thus far considered
seems to have been effected by high aud honorable
motives There k no reason to question the

who urged IL. But the avowal in his letter OF his
