of a large majority Of the people Of this
District. 1t affords us much satisfaction
TO remark of the candidates composing the
ssticket, that they are all old fe&ideaiers ~
the district, and not man Of them but
what is ideniiied with the best interests
bfthe District, and have Heen, since the
organization Of the Territory, prominent
iy before the people as men Of integrity
and ability. II would be a waste of words
to enlarge upon any one Individually as
to his peculiar merit or claims for the po-
sition he wa so unanimously nominated
TO fill but inasmuch as a few, a Uery fen,
have expressed their Dissatisfaction (by
issuing an anonymous call for another
Convention), in regard to the action of
the Convention which nominated this
ticket, it might be well to notice some of
the reasons why this ticket, as nominated,
should receive the hearty and earnest
support of all who have no personal ends
to answer, no personal ambition or petit
aspiration to ~satiate, and have only in
view and at heart the highest and best in
terests Of this District. The call of the
Convention was known to all, as it was
held pursuant to a call eminating from the
action CT a primary meeting of the PEOPLE,
held Immediately after a claim meeting,
which was very largely attended, one week
before the Convention was held; and
surely none are, has or will be unreason-
able enough to contend that every one
had not ample and reasonable notice and
time to turn out. The large attendance
of the citizens from every portion of the
District, is most conclusive and convincing
evidence that all were well appraised Of
the fact, and acted accordingly. The
Convention was coad,xacd upeu principles
of fhirness, leaving no one room to com
plain, however captious, unless il should
have been some disappointed candidate
for Office who, in his own imagination,
always thinks the People have done
wrong when they reject his claims and
show Gas they have a right to do) their
preference for some one else and it is
requested by ihose who issued the anony-
NOUS call for another Convention, to be
held Saturday, October 25, that the dis
satisfied assemble in the anonymous Con-
vention in question. In answer, we sub
init to intelligent men of this District, and
the whole world, was ever a convention
called and went into with personal OPP
posing elements, that gave in its result
unanimous and universal satisfaction to
aspirants, and especially those whose
claims to position and place had not been
considered by the Convention in the light
they themselves saw ii; and il would
seem that the emphatic, decided, and, in
reason, we may say overwhelming vote
in point of numbers that nominated the
ticket placed at the head of this column,
ought and should be a q%uietus upon those
who, in point of personal ambition, were
disappointed, and, in the language of the
immortal CLAY, set this question forever
at rest. But it is urged by the disSatis-
fed, in their call for another Convention
that every man who acted in the Conyen.
ton knew, ten days before, for whom he
would vote. This is arguing too much
for the dissatisfied. 1t shows those who
acted in hat Convention had time fol
mature reflection and cool dehberation
1t shows they had a decided preference
for candidates, and, as the result ha.
shown, as decidedly and emphatically ex,
pressed il. Does the INrELLIcEN1
elector 60 to the polls with his mind on q
swivel, to be wheedled into line for any
candidate or any set of principles, or doe,
and will not every intelligent voter in the
States this fall go to the polls with hi
mind fully made up, and deposit his vote
whether it be for Buchanan, Fremont O
Fillmore. This much we have noticed il
shis anonymous call of the dissatisfied TO
a new Convention; it is telling agains
them, 1t is telling, because if the people
in solemn Convention, regularly Gale,
and fairly organized, and weH and trul,
conducted upon principles of right, hay
seriously and earnestly, and by a yer,
decided vote, expressed their preference
