"The expense Of collecting the reve.

the Government bounty, and then
they may do something. Unless
they do they must quietly submit

time harmon ious bodies ofa similar ma
ture, that we have ever attended. Eve

fully representa- with the attendance
besides a large nsmbcr of interested out
siders.
The nominee OF the Convention, Gen.
RALPu p. AUCKLAND, OF Fremont, is one
among the strongest that could have been
made in the district. Gen. BUeKLASD is
an old resident Of Fremont, he having
emigrated thefe at an early day. He
studlcd the profession of law with the
venerable dvooosod, ELISHA WHIrrLEsY,
in Cleveland, and afterwards commenced
the practice of his profession in Fremont
where hc arrived with bat five dollars to
his name. Finally, with unrcn,itting la
bor. no succeeded in raising himself TO
one Of the first at the Bar, and when the
present war broke out he proved himself
to be one OF the & first in the hearts Of his
countrymen." In 1861 he entered the
army us Colonel Of the 72nd Rcgi. o.
V. l., and for his Ga liant and mcritorious
conduct which we saw so conspicuusly
splaycd ut the battle of Shiloh, aud other
fields Of gloiy in West Tennessee, in the
Spring of 1868 he received the appoint
mcnt and confirmation of Brigadicr Gen
cral OF Volunteers. He was shortly af-
terwards placed in command Of the Post
Of Memphis, in which capacity he has
won the esteem and admiral ion of his
supcriors, aud also of the citizens, as an
honest and able executive Military Off

men Of the Distr!c, can rely upon as a

will represent the people Of the District
faithfully and impar,islIy no one doubts.
He has already proved his failh by his
works in the field. His experience
In the army will enable him to net more
wisely and judiciously in the councils OF
the nation, when the question of recon.
struction comes up before them, than one
who has not had practical knowledge
Of the wants and character of the people
Of the South. As their standard bearer

Resisting the Draft.

We hear that paper is being circuls-
ted among the pence mongers of this
county for signatures, which pledge them
TO resist the draft. A friend from the
country has the best philosophy for this
resisting the draft business. Says he "sup.
posing that ninety nine men and myself
join in a league to resist the draft and
when the draft goes off am drafted and
the ninety-nine get scott free, then these
ninety-nine bold men would play thun-
der resisting the draft, wouldn't they s"
That is pretty good logic and applies
very well TO these braee peace men.

for said Office and who has Gas able bodied men

Lieutenant in one Of the Companies until the
Battle at Cross Keys, when brayely urging on
his men to ssVictory or Death'' he received a

ed him unfit for service in the army and unfit
for manual labor. We are aware that Mr. Paul
is not generally known throughout the County,
but he is we'll known in tho North western part
of the County and we would refer the people of
the County to his neighbors who do know him,
and appreciate his worth. We hope Mr.. Paul
