As some time would necessarily eIapee be-

sHitabie pcrsnls as delegates, it Wa. moved by
Thomas DeYccmon Esq., that hcssrs. Thos
J. McKaig and j. H. Gordon, be appointed
a committee to draft resolutions, expressive
Of the sense 0! the Democracy Of Allegauy
county, upon the preset aspect Of political
affairs To this resolution strenuous ohiec.
ton WAS urged in a certain quarter, bccaus,
it vas contrary 70 all Democratic prcccdcn;
10 take the power Of appointing such com
IN tees from the President, and committing
it to the meeting, and then tie oLjcctor seem
ed to have q sligh. inkling that this com
m,ttee and resolution business was prccon-
certcd affair. Fhis brought nearly the en-
tire meeting 20 their feet, and the Pres
dent was unable 10 determine who was en-
titled to the floor by parliamentary usage
as 50 many mir Presidents" were assailing
his car In this confusion Of tongues, The
question" being clamorous)y demanded, the
resolution was put and carried The com
mittee then retired for delbcration and con-
sul,ation. During their absence the meet
ing was occupied with suggestions relative
to the time Of holding u Convention 20 nom
mate County Officers meeting FOR iesigua-
ting delegates TO the forthcoming Eongres-
sional Convention 81 be held in this city, and
the mode Of appointing those dclcgatcs-and
an animated His.vr:pn Of the legitimate
functions Of the County Central Committee
Before any definite conclusion WAS reached
on these subject matters Of discussion, the
Committee, having finished their labors, re-
turned, and resolution was read highly
Mandatory Of the patriotism, &C., of This adj
ministration. which was passed unan-
imuusly I. Was then moved that the del
cgatrs appointed to the Frederick Conven-
ton be instructed to cast the vote of Allcga
ny county for Bradley 7. johnston, of Fred
crick, for Comptroller; because having been
gentcelly whipped two years ago, courtesy
required that Ae should have an opportunity
Of being druhbea again. just rs the meet
ing was about to adjourn, Mr. S. H. Taylor
suggested tie p,opriety Of a demonstration
ia honor Of his | I cheney, the President Of
the United States, on his visit to this city.
where lie is expected shortly Before any
action was taken in regard TO this matter we
retired, and are, therefore, not able to say
what provision was made 70 welcome tho
Chief Magistrate Of the Nation when he
comes among us No other business Of i'm.
portance, we imagine, trauspifcd after om
retirement, as the meeting adjourned in q
few minutes.
Thus, we think, we have given faithful
eptome of the proceedings of the great San
hedrim Of the AlIcgany County Democracy
which assembled hcru on the 9th nst. Thi
much, We orinc, our democratic friends vii
accord it,
One or two things we could not help re

from the rurn! districts, and the meagre lcl.
