The Wig State C0ucentiOn-.Nominatio
for Congress-.4cfire Conposs-.qction of
the Amor .N0tiings.
The State Convention of the wings of Flo.
rida, which assembled at Alligator on Monday
last, unanimously ratified the nomination which
had previously been made by that patty in couu-
ty conventions in various localities, of OK Gov
crnor Thomas Brown, as their candidate for
Representative to Congress.
Now that g old Tom as his friends familiar
y call him. is fairly in the field, the canvass
will be opened and prosecuted by both parties
with zeal and vigor, until the first Monday in
October. on which day the sovereign people
will decide at the ballot-box who shall serve
tEem in the next Congress. Gov Brown ad-
dressed the people Of Columbia county on the
18th instant. and was we'll received.
Mr. Maxwell. the democratic nominee, took
the stump in this city on the same day. at which
time be was met and replied to by the talented
George ". Call, Esq late whig United States
Attorney for Florida.
Governor Brown and Mr. Maxwell will meet
and measure swords at Pilatka on Saturday
next, from which time they will canvass the
Stale together until the election.
The friends of Mr.. Maxwell hercabout arc
confident of his reelection by largely in
creased majority, while, on the contrary, the
wings generally think he stands no sort of
chance, and that :" old Tom" will leave him
lar in the distance.
As on the next Legislature will dcvolve the
election of United States Senator to succeed
General Norton, both parties are bringing out
their available men for the Legislature in close
aud doubtful counties. The general impression
seems, however, 10 be. that The democrats will
obtain control Of the Legislature, and thus be
enabled probably to again elect the Hoo. d. Il.
Iulee 10 the Senate, notwithstanding the fierce
ara bitter opposition which he is bound to en-
counter in his own party, rs well as on the part
of his ancient enemies, the wings.
] hear il Iumorcd Choueh of course nobody
knows nothing about it, that the mysteriJ Jus
party yclept Know Nothngs are rapidly
sprirgipg up in various sections Of this Stale.
II So, ,hcrc is no use OF con iecturing aoything
nlout the result ofthe coming election, as these
fellows work 20 swfully on the sly that no one
knows what they arc about. 1t would not be
surprising if they should elect their Mayor in
this city next week. Sr. JOINS.

attributed in some measure to the drought that

great injury of grain and corn, some OF

hardly enough rains lately to wet the ground.
We need heavy rain, both for the sake of

all, when he says the Anglo French forces in
the East are called an army of occupation !;
but whatever their occupation may be, they
seem to be doing very little. Indeed, it may
pe questioned whether we would not be justified
in describing the English troops as doing no.

But very few persons of those who have
never visited here, have the least idea where
Greenport is situated, many locating it upon
the shore of Long Island Sound.
For the information Of such, and for all others
who may hereafter desire to find delig htful and
healthy location for q summer visit would
state that Greenport is the eastern terminus Of
the Lond Island railroad, add is situated On the
south shore Of the north fork OF Long Island,
fronting on the great Peconic bay, and is pos
sessed OF one Of the finest harbors on our whole
sea coast, which abounds in fish Of various kinds.
The town boasts of one OF the best hotels, if not
the very best upon Long Island, viz. the
fcconic House kept by Mr.. H. o. Richardson,
gentleman in every sense. There arc two
other hotels in the place most excellent ones,
the Wyandank with its obliging proprietor
Mr.. Concklin; and Cap. John Clark's hotel, of
which | will not say word as everybody
knows Capt. Clark. or, if they don't. they ought
10. l. for one, know him and his hotel, and
both are good enough for me.
