organizations or if it does rot show its face,
though its secret mines were beneath my feet,

We have given but brief and imperfect
sketch of Judge Aliens remarks, but from it
our readers may have some idea Of the tone of
his speech. The speech was received with
great applause, and evidently made deep
impression upon the Convention.
Hon. Amasa Walker next addressed the
Convention, and demonstrated to the satisfac-
ton of any reasonable mind, that the election
of Gardser would be triumph of that party,
which made an alliance with the Catholics to
defeat the new constitution, which was calcu-
lated to secure those very rights to the people,
for which the new and secret organization
processes to contend.

candidate for County Commissioner. Fifty
four votes were cast, all of which were for
Otis Adams, of Grafton, the present incum-
bent, and he was declared the candidate of
