met at Augusta, on Wednesday, the 9TH, and
was attended by about 700 delegates, who
unanimously nominated Gov. Israel WASH
burne for reelection. The resolutions seem
to be modelled after the Crittenden platform,

maintain the supremacy Of the laws and pre-.
serve the dignity and equality Of the several
States, and that when this object is accom-
plished the war should cease.
