eyed, intelligent, strong in debate, vigorous
with the pen, sociablc among bis fellow
men, and an honor to the craft In Con.
veutiou, he proved to be all this. He de-
livcred very able address-"The Oldest
Printer on Record" was earnestly reques-
ted to furnish copy for publication, but
respectfully declined, which proves be has
also an abundant stock of modesty. He is
monster potato, and many in hill.
DR.. J. HENRY PULEsToN, (Pittston ca
zette, } is so thin that we are unable to com.
prehend how he keeps his "vittles" warm
in cold weather. But, on the "glorious
4tb," the thermometer was up to 9S, more
or less. in the shade, and the Doctor ap-
peared as natural as the next man. The
Doctor is about so years Of age; his weight
is of no account.
CHARLES Cook, (DdnriNe Demoernt,)
is Just what every editor should be-iutel-
lsent, sociable and modest. lie is about
40 years of age, stands six feet less six
inches, and is a very agreeable and good
looking man.
DR.. d. II. B. BRowER, IHatour Amer
ican,) was unquestionably the beauty of
the assembled wisdom. For his activity
in getting up the Convention, and because
he presented the best looking front, bis
brethren made him an appropriate present
in due form-a pair Of "asslstants, -
[scissors.] lie acknowledged the compli.
ment in his usual happy style.
JAMES JONES, (Jersey Shore Eedcfte,) }
appeared in Convention pretty much like
an old "6p' among pile of half dollars.
He is about four feet five and half, and
weighs at least thirty seven pounds. But,
Mr.. Jones participated actively in the Con-
vention, and became decided favorite.
What he lacks in size he fully makes up
in good common sense.
II. w. WEAVER, (B'oomsbury Star of
the North, is steady, serious, sober and
earnest man, who means what be says and
says what be means To look at him, ,one
would feel at loss to know whether he is
an Editor, Lawyer, Doctor or Parson. We
would say the latter, if We didn't know
better. He is good in debate, and able to
present case 20 good advantage. About
SO years of age, and 5 feet 6.
II. B. MAssER, (.Sunjury Americon,)
is gentleman with whom We failed to
make particular personal acqu.ins.n..-
He is we'll vouched for, and appears like
very intelligent and vigorous man.
JOHN G. YoUNGMAN, (Snnbury Ga
zeae, is about 25 years Of age, edits good
paper, and is sociable though quietly dis
posed fellow
G. L. l. PAINTER, (Mnncy Lumindry,)
is decidedly good looking man, and an
editor of considerable ability. He makes
no pretense to spcechifying, but as think
er he is sound, and able to convey his
thoughts on paper to good advantage. He
weighs about 200 pounds and presents q
remarkably healthy appearance. He looks
as smooth and free from wrinkles as if his
skin had been made first and the flesh
melted and run into il.
JACOB FRIcK, (.Ni1tonidn,) is first
rate looking fellow, and editor Of first
rate paper. In crowd he is able to "hoe
his own road" He is agreeable and pop
ular, and favorably impressed those with
whom he became acquainted. About 33,
and 5 feet 6.
There was yet one more, but to state all
We know of him, would fill the four sides
of this paper. We will therefore simply
say that he is 81, 5 feet 9, dignifed, cour-
teous, kind, intelligent, amiable, learned,
wise, pious, benevolent, sociable, and very
handsome. He was once Captain of the
Pennsylvania Militia, which post be filled
with remarkable courage until the begin
ming of the Mexican War, when be wisely
concluded upon retiring from public life.
Still higher honors await him!
