The Convention.

The Democratic County Convention
held at Triadelphia yesterday, passed off
very pleasantly and may be regarded "a
complete success" Notwithstanding the
very brief notice that had been given,
delegations duly accredited were present
from each township in the county. The
delegates were generally men of the high
est responsibility and best standing to-
be found in the county. They all SEEM
ed to be earnestly engaged IN the work
before them, and full of confidence in the
final success of the ticket nominated. A
spirit of perfect harmony and unanimity
pervaded the whole Convention.
The nominations are certainly the best
that could be made. No better, ADLER,
or more worthy men can be found i'll the
county than the nominees for the House
of Delegates They are all we'll known
and no words of ours can add to the good
reputation they already enjoy. Messrs.
PAUL. and RICHARDSON are lawyers OF
first class ability and enjoy leading posi-
tons at the bar in this county. They will
if elected, take the foremost place i'll the
Legislature next winter. Mr.. GARRISON,
is merchant in Triadelphia, and will
represent very ably and well the inter
ests of Ohio county 1t is the duty
of every conservative man to labor
earnestly for the election of the ticket,
and we feel entirely confident that if all
who are opposed to the radicalism OF
these days will yield to the ticket nom
ated yesterday, that support which its
merit and their duty demands, we will
meet with triumphant success
The resolutions adopted by the con
vention speak for themselves. They re-
late mainly to local affairs upon which
our position is we'll known and unassail-
able. and our opponents will hesitate
long before venturing to attack that por-
ton of the platform which refers to
questions of national Importance
Altogether, We think the convention
did its work weU, and we very cheerfully
place at the head of our column the ticket
nominated, and pledge ourselves to do
what we can in aid of its election.

JEWISH OBSERVANCE OF THE DAY.

IN accordance with the proclamation OF the national
xrscutive, the State Executive and the Mayor Of the
city yesterday observed throughout the land as
Aay Of thanksgiving and prayer. In New York all the
eAurohos threw open their doors, and thcr walls
ied by loyal not entirely devout citizens who assem-
Nled do 70 the Divine Power that had kept
watch and ward over land when threatened by dis
vnson and final dissolution, and through whose benen-
cent aid peace had been restored and the sound
or arms and the marching Of armies hushed-it
~ 10 be hoped forever-in the United States.
Notwithstanding the enow which had fallen md the rain
that had followed and continued to fall during the
greater part OF the day, 1t may he said that New York
gAvs thanks mase, and gave thanks in earnest and
w.th fervor And the latter portion Of the day was
0evoed to the usual home exercises consequent upon
she inodnae demand for turkeys Of the preceding day
An business suspended, excepting the making Of
1owapers and other necessary abor and the occasion
was wholly devoted to the purposes for which it had
Boon set apart In fact the sabbath Day is not more
generally observed than the Day Of National hanks
giving in the metropolis.
