Of trumpets tha. their Corpty Convention,
which held it1 session on last Monday week,
should be an open meeting held 10 the Court
aoon, and that the voting should be rira
oo,e, and that things were TO be conducted
opsnly and above board, we concluded We
woald attend. Accordingly, We arranged
our note paper, sharpcned our pencils, and,
in company with cur neigbhor Of the Res
ns5liorr, ,svho WAS in like manner equipped,
VIC repaired to the Court Uouse-the scene
OF battle.
Arriving asas the Court House with our
vtners6ia neighhor, We were astonishcd at
secing vast multitude Of people, which
(using hyperbolel mo man could num-
bsr." There was the soldier bearing the
honorable scars Of battle, and the sleek ci-
william fresh from the civil pursuits of life.
There was the politician who had given 30
.nuch money for his party, and every varie-
IL OF claims being urged upon the delegates.
We very naturally inquired why this great
tumult? and what means this vast concourse
Of people2 Upon inquiry We were inform
eli that they we're generally candidates thow
ore you, candidate2)--a!l anxious to be i'm
nolatel upon the altar of their country
thirsting to deAonstrate their patriotism
unou this bloody Geld--who could no: re-
fase whcr their country calls. "
The bell rang, and, borrowing oar neigh
hor's knife 1--WE are too poor to own one) we
rc-sharpcued our pencil, and marched into
the Court Room, congratulating ourscIf that
VS. would have full report. Oar ncighhor
Looked happy. This was the first tine that
no WAS to sit in the County Convention of
his own party and report the full proceed
ings. We imagined ouraelf. booking over
his shoullcr and seeing the large head lines
he hadalready traccd-"Open Convention, .
Large, Harmonious" &c. Our noighbor
Sci, good. A genial smile lighted up his
coas.enanoe and reflected TIE happiness
~:thia.
Bat alasi for human expectations Like
a e!ap Of thunder when there is no cloud
came the fatal wordl Dr.. Kennedy, Of
Dcersyile arose, and with gravity BETTING
the occasion, he moved that the Convention
90 into secret session in the Grand Jury
roauf 1t took us by surprise. We obser'
we'd our neighbor. We have noticed many
reo7ie who have been almost within reacl
Of sone tempting p ise, when it would sud
denly ho Withdrawn how chagrined anc
chop, fallen they looked. So looked on
nsishhor. His countenanco looked troubled
So Tie genial smile had disappeared.
; frosn dark AMI lowering ss midnight reStc'
on his face. we thought perhaps we Nigh
have been mistaken in reading the call 70
,ha C 1avension, hastily We jei kcd tn
gepstjta:aa from our pocket. We were no
mistaken. There it was:
- UNION COUNTY CONVENTION.
TIN said County Convention will be he'll
,uo,ic.y in the Court Room, the vote OF tn
several townships for the respective csndl
dates 20 be announced viva foca, on the ca
ii the Chair, by one Of the delegates troi
each township:
az. order Of the Union Central Commit,t
- ''JOHNC. JAMESON. Chsirmsil.
"SAM'L KNOX, Secretary. :" ~.
That was tbs ofieial document. We immc
re-!iate went in search Of the Central Con
-aittae. but could not 6nd single menbc
Thsy all seemed anxious to deny having al
connection with that body. We immed
a,sly offered reward OF FIVE cents for info
nation as to the whereabouts Of any men
hcr Of the lalo Central COMMITTEES. 2!
rcasrd ia now increased to lltecn cent
which sum will b. paid iu shinplaatcrs to Il
fortunate di-covcrcr.
Our ncighbor retired with US. We bo
concealed our paper and pencils for IL
sone one might bore" us. Arriving {
the outside, we behold large body Of uic
crowded under the north window ct Il
jury room, with gaze upturi,ed, TatchiT
for those magic slips 0! paper which a
nounccd the votes as they were tak kon.-
They were thc,candidates. To roe the {
preston on their faces as each vote was q
nouuced was amusing. A photograph
1ould have made fortune If he coald /
have caught their expression. The exit
ment was immense, not only outside but
siic. We drew several rough sketches
the scene with our pencil, whlah NC wish
to present to our ncighoor, but be had re
red. diygustcd with the secret session OF t
Convention.
