MORE ABOUT THE EDITORIAL CONvEN-
TON.
Our friend of the Msuch Chunk Gazette
has been indulgng in a few pleasantries by
drawing some racy pictures OF the Convention
and its members. He says Mr.. Miner, OF
the Record of the Times, sciM one exception,
was the best looking man there. The exccp-
tion was DR.. Brewer, Of the lIontour Ameri-
can, for the Gdzetfc tells US "he was unques-
tionably the beauty of the assembled wis.,
DOM" We congratulate our friends, Miner
and Brewer, that amongst so many good look
ing men they carried the palm. DIR. John,
Z. b., Of the Columbia County ReputHcdn, is
described as "a plain man." circumstance
with which we were previously nnacquainted
although enjoying the pleasure OF that gentle
mans acquaintance. James Jones, Of the
Jersey Shore Vedeite, we are told appeared
like an old ftp among pile of half dollars.
He is about four feet five and q halt, and
weighs at least 81 pounds" r.. w. Weaver,
of the Star of The NORTH, looked to friend
Rauch, more like a parson than any thing
else Masser, Of the Sunbury american, like
a very intelligent and vigorous man--and
Painter of the Muncy Luminary, like all ed
itors should look, solid, fat and Sleek L. A.
Baker, r. b., Of the Jersey Shore Republican,
age, %; weight, l40; height. feet I loves
to follow the crowd whether lie is good
looking or not, our worthy chronicler canuot
decide. 0. N. Worden, Of the Lewisburg
Chronicle, age, 40; height, feet 20; sis a
monster potato, and many in hill" John
Youngman, of the Sunbury Gd=ette, is a
quietly disposed fellow !" and Col. Tate, ol
tho Bloonsburg Democrat. was the daddy
OF the crowd" Chas. Cook, of the Danvile
Democrat, is just what every editor should be
intelligent, socable and modest. lie is about
40 years of age, and stands feet, less inches
Valentine Best, of The Intcliigencer, presents
very respectable appearance. l.. +. Irwin
OF the Berwick Gazette, has remarkable
stock of editorial modesty,-and Jacob Frick
of the Mittonian, is able to hoe his own road
| Richard Edwards, of the Western Star
| (Welsh.) has "gentle disposition" and Mr.
Chichester, of the Express, was the deepest
red man in the Convention, and well calcula
ted to prevent party from going to sleep
l.. Ii. Davis, p. T., of .he NJ Montgomery Leu
| ger, is intelligent aud socable, sure 10 becom'
u favorite wherever known, and boasts OF {
pretty wife. "Dr. j. Henry Pueston, Is.
| Of the Pittston Gazette, is very lean man
He is so thin that we are unable to compre
bend how he keeps his 'vittes' warm in col,
weather, but on the glorious 4lh the thermo
meter was up to 98 in the shade, and th
Doctor appeared as natural as the next man
lie was made Secretary of the Convention
and afterwards permanent Secretary Of th
KEYsroNE EpIroRIAI. UNION"
Our cbroricler adas
"There was yet one more. He was once
Captain of the Pennsylvania Militia, whic
post he filed with remarkable courage unit
the beginning of the Mexican war, when Ii
wisely concluded upon retiring from publ
life. Still higher honors await him.
This picture is so true, so correctly drawr
so like our most worthy brother Rouch, tha
it would be impossible to err in fixing th
original.
In reference to the objection made by Co
Tate to being called venerable, he says:
We are inclined TO look over this littl
weakness of the Col provided he will faiti
fully carry out the objects Of tho E,hiOriC
Union. We are not sure that he has thu
far set us a good example. Complaints al
made that certain Lottery advertisement
and "mattor of an indelicate nature" continu
to find their way into the columns of th
Democrat How is this, Col?
