 His complaints ale that the cohVeii''on treated him in an "illiberal, ungenefous an undemocratc manner. w ny: D cause it refused to adopt and pass upon ms resolutions. indorsng his democracy
 The convention knew nothing o1 MT. Peek. He has been here some SIX month"; and, during that time, he has not mingled with the democracy, but his personal asso- citation has been confined to know nothlhSs' almost entirely. He is not with the democ- racy of Pulaski county. He IS against them in almost every thing. He has out ragged their feelings by his course every since he has been here.
 They knew nothing of him. He came here unasked, and set up for cause they do not recognize He has opposed every thing that they mean, and every thing that they desire. Democrats that they honor' and love to honor, he has opposed and de- nounced.
 NIr. Peek was not treated disrespecttully or discourteously. He was treated as all otlsSs were who took an active part III the proceedings. He offered resolution indorsing his paper-he was begged to withdraw it, but he would not. It was stated to him that it was not the object of the convention to pass upon the orthodoxy of newspapers and that his resolution was fire brand in the convention. He still pressed his resolution, and the convention, determined upon it's course, refused to con slider it, and laid it upon the table.
 The convention, with any self respect, could not have done otherwise. It knew nothing of Mr. Peek He was a stranger -he had made no sacrifices in the cause he had not even made the acquaintance of the democrats in the county. If his paper was democratic it needed no ndorsement, and if it was not, 1t should not be indorsed as such. Time will disclose the truth and, Mr. Peck, as all other editors, must stand upon his own bottom.
 His resolution, as introduced by himself, was thought to be both presumptious and indelicate; and the fact that he could not get a democrat to introduce 1t for him, should have been proof conclusive that 1t ought not to have been introduced. We, as editor of the True Democrat, were born and raised in this county, and have edited this paper for nearly nine years, and yet, as well known as we are, we never made any SuCn request Ol coHhOHlioH. " ' have been content to leave the question of our democracy to the people, and let them judge; each one for himself. We knew, if our cause was just, it would win, and, if not, it would not We edit a paper, the world reads and the world will judge it. whether a convention indorses 1t or not.
 Many think Mr. Peek desired to be reie cted by the convention that he might cry out '.persecmtion. If so, he has gained his point What he will gain in the end is another question.
 The democracy of Pulaski county are freemen, and they have right to do as they please They accord to thed emocracy of every other county the same right, and will not interfere with that right They have declined to indorse Mir. Peek s democ- racy because they know nothing about it; they think his paper ought to be judged by its merits, and not by their indorsement. If he deccives any one, the blame cannot be attached to the Pulaski democracy
