Quoted in the utmost good feeling, and the
disappointed ones yielded gracefully to the
choice of the Convention.
HORACE ALLEN, ESQ, of Rutland, who stands
first on the Senatorial ticket, is so well known
to the citizens of the County that we scarcely
need to make particular me 1tion of him.
His ability, not only in the walks Of the legal

and unite the loyal men of all parties In sup
