W. p. Noble Of Seneca, and Judge Bar
tram, Of Marion, were pressed by their
friends, but it was argued by the advo-
Gates Of the re- nomination Of Mr.. Hall
that bis rejection at this time would be a
rebuke 10 the administration Of Jas. Bu-
chanan, and as the platform adopted by
the State Convention endorsed the present
national administration. they could not
consistently refuse TO re.nominate the
Judge and stand squarely upon that plat.
form at the same time. So that it was
very evident that the Judge, who was a
friend and supporter Of tile administra-

powers that be must be rebuked and the

Had Judge Hall remained steadfast in
his original position on the Lecompton
question, it would have been worse than
folly to have nominated man against him
in the distri:t--he would have been sus-
tanned by men Of all parties. The pco,
pie wanted no compromise--they wanted
the head taken off Of Lecompton, just as
