The ''Enqul rer'' san In the Fog.
Our neighbOr OF the Eaguirsr IS still in marvellous
fog Il is far behind the times. Il is not at all up to the
news of tbe da What the use therefore, Of its boast
ed forty horse pOvers
Il its issue Of Saturday has what purpors to be the
proceedings Of s Opposition State Convention of Aaba-
ma This Convention is said to have been held Mont
gomery on the % Of July; but nothing is told Of the
nupber Of counties represented therein the number
o. delegates in attendance Of the character Of the BE-
d. particularly or generally. Now propose to Ell
Eghseu our negAbor these points and 70 show that he
has egreg0Hsy mrepreseated uninteutonaly no doubt
the true state Of facts in relation to the position Of the
Opposition party in Alabama We surprised indeed
that the Enquirer or any other public journal should
have fallen into 50 strange aud udicrous mistake.
We assert, then that ne Regular Opposition State
Convention Of Alabama met in Selma, the 25ih Of
June aud not in Montgomery, the ID Of July In the
Regular Selma Convention nearly every Of the fifty
two counties in the State represented, aud the dele
gates ia attendance comprising many Of the ablct and
most distinguished men in the State numbered nearly
three hundred Ii the largest and mos. enthusiastic
Opposition Convention ever convened in the State Of
Alabama as all accounts friendly aud hostile concur in
representng Il was in session for days the second
daybiaE devoted principally TO grand State Mass Iat
haton Esedag which preseu. several thousand
persons foR various portions CT the State who were not
delegates to the Sais Convention. fun electoral tick
e. was appointed BY the Convention and steps adopted
for thorough organizop Of the party throughout the
State. Ba. correct for good aud ALL the aisreprcscn
taton aaoat this subject, We choose TO copy below
