leading radicals wero present By special nvi.
tation, and DR.. Rucker, / nm Informed, madc

fuse with tho conservatives, provided the Na-
tionul and State Constitutions, and oil laws
made in pursuance thereof, and all amend
mcnts made thereto, by loyal voters, could
be agreed upon as the Platform Of the party.
There was somo disturbance crca ted by q
perjured traitor, who WINS discountennnccd
by every member Of the meeting; but not
being present, ON unable to give you the
cause Of the difficulty, or It's result.

The Board Of Registration has been changed

their Board Of Registration changed also. J
trust tho Governor will grant the petition.
Tho Board Of Supervisors Of this County

found in tho Stnto. Each md every member
Of 1t is u solid, determined, and practical
man In his personal habits, mud firm, uncon.
promising and patriotic in his oilicial ind
political character and decisions.
It il hard telling at present who will be
nominated for officers at tho coming convcn-
ton, but from the signs very safely predict
tint Capt. Thos. &. Putnam will be the candi-
dnte for Prosecuting Attorney, and John g..
Malcolm for Sheriff There offices arc NJ pres.
ont respectively filled by the gentlemen
nsmed, md nll ngree TINT they arc nbly and
satisfactorily filled, and no one seems TO want
