The proceedings Of the Republican State
Convention have not yet oonle to hand, bu,
the nominations made BY it have been re.
ceived. The honor Of the principal nomi-
nation has fallen upon our respected fellow
townsnan, Judge Lowe. With that result,
1t could not be expected that We should be
dissatisfied. ~Nor do we believe that the
nomination viii be received in any other
than the most cordial and gratifying spiri,
throughout the State. There was no Sec
tional feeling in the Convention, and his
nomination las was that of the Lieut.. Gov

entire satisfaction.
B. OF the qualifications Of Judge Lowe for
the proper discharge Of the duties OF the

picion. The purity Of his character and the
integrity Of his motives, under all circum.
stances and in every position, are above re-
proach. In the Republican faith be is sound

The Convention adopted the philadelphia
