Tie Hon. Marcus J. Parrot has j0st got biz CO..

States army here. there will be less danger q n
ending like the Gov. Geary Sherrsrd meeting; ~
erwise. think the chances for such ienoueme0t ~
very strong The Governor seems to think that -

to their bOsOms. -.
But the Governor does not vary from bis edgaN
purpose, Ii being now evident that all the svin-
ding designs TO carry the big district by fraudulent
lciurns must fall other means have been resorted 10
to throw the legislative power under tho veto o. Ne
Governor. Certificates of election have just been
given 10 the Pro-Slavery candidates IN Lynn Cosnty
This county was at fret claimed BY the Pro- Slavery

had it by about 100 majority. The strongest kfse

of the proceedings of the bogus Judges OF EscosA
That the vote was perfectly fair and legitimate oos
nobody preteDds to doubt. The Governor has not
issued proclamation in regard TO this proceeding,
No doubt he thought that the only reasons that eoad
be alleged would not look very well in print BY
this very questionable act there will still be nofe
than one-third of the House Pro.Siavery, which
ties the whole to the Governors veto. The 6ov-

the outrageous PrO-Slavery vote from Aarma

all IFS irregularities, quietly received and sane

Various rumors are in circulation as regards the
action of the Conver ton. 1t 10 stated that tho Con-
yentOn vii not only make Constitution recegniz-
ing Slavery, but that this Convention will actually
proceed to elect or appoint Governor, Lieutenant
Governor, and the whole Of the State Officers, TO-
getber with member Of Congress snd two Usted
States Senators, and send up their request for
admission in this barefaced way. Had the few dole
gates here last week been lef. TO complete tho ous-

would have done so. / hardly thick they VIA
