county. Mr.. Warren is accused of mal;ns
his list of appointments without, as is usual
consulting his opponent at all; and this too
when he aOelL k,aev that Col. Fowler couT
not, owing to prior engagements, meet him
in debate. If this be SO, and am le5 -
believe it is. Mr. Warren deserves EttIo
credit for his fairness, and still less for b;a
respect for the people. whom be desires to
hoodwink and cheat by his one-sided nnf.;.

the attention of our citizens-in word, be
is the man for the times.
You have doubtless, ere this, received the
news of the nomination of James Buchanan.
of Pa, and j c. Breckenridge, of Ky, for
President and Vice President, and likewise
must have seen an account of the disgraceful
scenes enacted at the Cincinnati Convention
l do not refer to those disorderly scenes in
any vein of triumph-not at all, but do
wish it borne in mind, what sharp comments
ran the rounds of the Democratic press in
relation to the American Convention in
Philadelphia, in February last How it
was denounced as disgraceful mob, or
rowdy gathering. In the Cincinnati Con-
vention, the science of pugilism and fsticuffs
appeared to be more studied and oractisctf
than consulting for the good of the people,
and the perpetuity of our institutions |
leave to more experienced heads than my
own to say what is likely to be the result of
this nomination. | believe, however, it is
generally considered that Mr. Buchanan is
rather too much of Freesoiler aud FEEDER
alist to suit our latitude.
The candidates for our county offices and
the Legislature are all out upon the canvass.
But little doubt, if any, exists as TO the re-
suit of the election of all the candidates of
the American party in this county.
You have, doubtless, seen in the True
Democrat considerable flourish made about
cancetlimg bonds, &c, to the amount of
near million of dollars You must not
understand that one cent has been redeemed
or paid, but simply that this amount has
been taken from the bank vaults and put in
the treasury. as SO much waste paper, it
having been paid into bank in liquidation
of individual Indebtedness The whole
subject, so far as any act of Gov Conway is
concerned, is that the bonds thus redeemed
are simply moved from the bank into the
treasury-one hours work with an indus
trious servant and his basket, would accom-
pllsh it all; twenty-five cents would be
ample pay for all the services performed in
relation to this whole cancellation story
Here, where the subject is understood, it is
regarded as an electioneering tale only, and
that badly told. Examine the subject as
you may, and defy any one to make a
different and true conclusion from the
above. Gov. Conway could not pay one
dollar for the redemption of bonds; no, not
even the interest due on the same, without
the Legislature made an appropriation for
that purpose. Then why, ask, does he
permit himself to be held up as the financial
Solomon of the age. when lie kuoacs he has
not redeemed, or caused to be redeemed,
one mill. to say nothing of one million of
dollars. 1t is an insult to the understand
ing of the people, or reproach upon bis
political integrity.
