Kent County Democratic convention.
The Convention was well attended and the
nominations generally gave entire satisfaction.
Nothing more remains for the Democracy Of
Kent 10 do but to elect their ticket, which they
are sanguinc Of doing in November next By
large majority. From the indications of the
present. their triumph admits of no doubt
Col. WM. G. WHITLEY, our talented repre-
sentative, addressed the meeting while the
Convention was in session, making the nomi-
nations, in his accustomed able argumcntative
and Gorciblc style, which contrasted most
strongly with tho roelica and ilimsy declama-
ton Of the Peoples Party candidate, Mr.. Nor
lis He was listened TO with marked attcn-
ton, interrupted, however, by the frequent ap-
llausc Of the meeting.
In Mr. WHITLEY the people Of the State
have a candidate whose sentiments uron all
the important and leading issues Of the day are
well known and tried. In scnding him 10 re-
present them in the National Legislature, they
knew that they arc sending National
and Union-loying Representative they
are MOI scHulHS man ""''0 SS"N
ments or the course which he will pursue
in Congress is doubtful, or, worse still, enc
who will there unite with the DisunioniSts and
Back Republicans that party whose
leaders speak of our Union with indifference
ard contempt
Mr.. WulrELEY's course in the past has been
proved and is guarantee Of what it will be i'll
the fixture. 1t has boon approved not by the
Democracy and conservative Union men of his
native STATE only but of the nation.
