patrd the nomination Of Col. W.ller-
his nomination is equivalent 10 Ms
tion--yct We felt some anxiety To S"
the Result. That he was almost the una
imous choice ot the people, even he -
ponents must admit. The will of ~
people, however, has in some insts,1si.s 1.s
been defeated, and We thought that.
might be even in this instance. Tbs 81

factions and iSns Of the day. ! heard
him say. with the bodncss and honesty
Characteristic Of the man, that if any Of
the opposition were going to vote for him

Of his ticket up here. ! am unacquainNed
with the other candidates, but their being
on the same ticket with Weller, Walkup
