BoLToN. Nov. 26, 1857.
Asssrs. Edtors-Your readers in this vicinity
would like TO see report of the doings Of the
Northboro Senatorial Convention.
Respectfully yours, s*s
We do not doubt it. We supposed, as a mat
ter Of course, that the officers of the Convention
would furnish us with a report Of the proceed
ings, as is customary on such occasions. 1t will
be well understood By our friends, that, at this
season of the year, when cattle shows and con-
ventions being held in every part Of the coun-
ty. as well as out oft, that cannot be present
at them all, and if those who have special in
terest in having their proceedings laid before the
public do not choose to take the trifing trouble
Of merely mailing a report thereof to us, they
cannot surely be surprised if we, who do not live
in their district, do not incur heavy expense in
sending reporter for the occasion. 1t was the
duty of eUery member Of that convention tc see
that their doings were laid tefore their constitu
ents, through the accustomed channels, yet no
one of them has done it, and for the result, which
we published, We had to rely upon public report
We do not even know who the officers of the
Convention were if we were disposed to write to
them for the necessary information.
We may say, in this connection, that the towns
composing the district in question are more neg
ligent than any other section of the county, in
forwarding information of local events to the
press. a few years ago, a venerable clergyman in
one of those towns was in the habit of forwarding
to us all the items of local intelligence that oc.
Cured in his vicinity. With that exception, we
hardly know of person in those towns to whom
we are indebted for favors of that kind and to
this negligence it is owing, that much less in
formation of the local affairs Of those towns ap
pears in the papers, than of those in other sec
tons of the county.
