Secretary.
The object of the meeting being explained

Charles Mason, Col Mark Arnold. DR..
VIM. X. Price, Jackson Potts, VIM. Mcdaniel.
ir.. Col. W. A. Arnold, A. ". Tenant, r. II.

The following preamble and resolutions
were thereafter read by the Chairman, and
adopted with almost entire unanimity, there
being but one dissenting voice.
WHEREAS, state Of things exists in this
Congressional District, which, if not correc-
ted, and that Immediately, by the people
themselves, in preliminary meetings, must
in all probability, result in the loss OF the
District to the Democratic party. And
whereas it appears now that both the contes-
tantS Of that party, to Il seat III Congress, are
of a convention, which is the proper, and in
deed, the only mode of deciding between
rival interests; and whereas it is peculiarly
fit in this county to take the initiative III
such proceeding, inasmuch as it was, In
some degree, the cause of emitting this pre-
lminary to the election of the present rep
resentative, which they did for reasons which
it is unnecessary to refer to here: Therefore,
Resolred, That with the concurrence and
action Of the other counties making up this
the 9TH Congressional District we recon-
mend that delegates be appointed at our May
court, to meet in IA District Convention, To
be held on the 10th day of May, in the town
of Alexandria, to select candidate for Con-
gress.
Resolred, That between the candidates now
before the people, although it is conceded that
Mr.. Shackelford will get some votes, yet 1t Is
believed that Gov Smith is decidedly the
choice ola large majority of the people OF this
! county.
Resolred, horcrer, That the success OF the
| Democratic party, especially at this time, Is
deemed by us Of far more importance than IN
dividual advancement; and although most OF
us would regret to give up both OF the candl-
! dates now before the people-yet if the har-
mony ofthe party should absolutely require
the selection of third man, that it will be the
duty of the convention to do so, and that ot the
candidates, gracefully to submit.
Resolred, That John Arnold, John d.
Owens, q. ID. Ashton and Dr. }. W. Burnett,
he appointed a committee to correspond with
the candidates on the subject their willing

markable epidemic, which has puzzled the
most skilful physicians, has made its appear
ance in Orange, Conn. and has caused great
CONSERVATION there 1t has already caused
the death of eight persons, and two others are
beyond hope of recovery. Several physicians
who have been called, say they have never
seen anything of the sort, and do not know
what treatment should be adopted. The
attack commences with a sore throat, which
soon assumes form of most malignant ul-
ceration. and finally the throat swells unac-
.coun;abIy and the sufferer dies. Nearly all
thus far attacked-mostly children-have
died. The disease is of short duration. Is
it not the same which has prevailed at Al
bany and adjacent places: Its characteristics
are quite similar.
