Democratic Convention.

As per notice, the Democrats oil Wander
burgh counties held convention at Bla!rs-
vile, with the aroued intention, as per call,
Of nominating a candidate for the office Of
State Senator, but with the real intention Of
adjourning to meet again. We have already
noticed the fact that the Democrats of Posey
repudiated this call, and boldly declared in
opposition to the wishes of the Evansville
clique. They saw through the trick of this
clique, without the aid of Brazilian Pebble
Spectacles, and were determined not to be
victimzed by it. Had the convention, made
a nomination, the nominee would doubtless
have been from Posey-consequentl the
nominee of the congressional convention to
be held Immediately after the other, could
not have come from that county, and the
chances of the Vanderburgh candidates
would have been greatly augmented. Tne
Democrats Of Posey therefore kicked up
against this call for senatorial convention
before the congressional convention, and
knocked the whole thing in the head. Great
was the tribulation among the big and little
Democratic leaders in Vanderburgh, at this
sudden discovery of their attempt to bam-
boozle the Democracy of Posey, and the very
sudden demolition of their hopes dependent
upon this senatorial convention. The stock
of the Vanderburgh candidates, which had
eudde nly run up to premium, at once fell
below par. They had nothing to do but eth
er to act in the face of Posey, or meet accor-
ding to call at Blairsville, and there, not &C.
cording TO call, adjourn without making
nomination. They wisely chose the lesser
evil, and acted by the latter Proposition
Our good readers may well imagine the en-
thusiusm of this meeting, especially among
the delegates from Yanderburgh!
But if the Democrats OF Posey conceive
for a moment, that this condition of things
has not determined their brethren of this
county to resolve more strongly than ever,
that the congressional candidate shall not hail
from, Posey, they are laboring under serious
mistake, and one which may result in the
success Of the resolution, notwithstanding
Posey is really entitled to the candidate

AS many of our Democratic friends have
no 9th er means of obtaining Information OF
the proceedings of Democratic conven-
tons than through the columns of the Jour
nal, we subjoin the following resolutions,
which were passed at the Biairsville conven-
ton:
WHEREAS, a convention of the Democrat
ic party was called to meet on the 22d day Of
April in the town of Blairsvile, Posey CO.
Indiana. for the purpose Of nominating O.
candidate for the office of State Senator;
AND whereas, in the opinion Of this con-
vention it is inexpedient at this time to make
such nomination: Therefore be it

meet on Saturday, the Sd day of June next
in this place.
Resolved, That we recommend that town.
ship meetings be held in all the townships
ofboth counties to select delegates to attend

next be chosen es the day for holding the con-
vention for nominating a candidate for Con

son county.
Resolved. That the proceedings of this con
vention be published in the Evansville Volks
bote and the Evansville Enquirer, and tina
the Democratic papers throughout the dis
trict be requested to give publicity to the
same.
The following resolution was slipped il
and passed while some Of the members were
calling in at friend Knowles bar, and Others
were asleep, from previous calls probably
1t is supposed the resolution was intended a,
bitter satire:
Resolved, That the Democracy of Wander
burgh and Posey counties having full conf
dence in the Evansville Enquirer, recon-
mend it to the favorable consideration ant
liberal support of the Democracy of the frs
district.
