a Husty Glance ut the Results.

4 HRSty Glance ut thC Results.
P.\EKEIsSEURG, August SOth.
The Convention has met, done its
work and adjourned. 1t was by all
odds the largest nominating cOnven-
ton ever held i'll the Slate. Near three
hundred delegates We're admitted to
seats. 1t is admitted Oh all hands TO
he an immense success. 1t was found
that the great body OF those appointed
to the Soldiers Convention were also
accredited delegates To the regular
Convention. The balance asked to be-
allowed To come il and werc received.
The ticket IS entirely acceptable to
the soldiers. They had all that any
considerable number of them ask
ell. The gentlemen whOun dertook
TO manipulate the soldiers Convention
for their personal promotion are flat
tened ont. The resolutions are strong
and UncIuivocIl, uutincturrd by any
tOudyiSm or palllatiOn Of trcnchcry or
treason, but they are not stronger than
the sentiment of the Convention or the
people il represents. The Convention
had made up its mind that milk ard
water resolves and milk and water pol
icy in this State are "pluycd out" The
resolutions are too long, however, aud
tho leading idea is unnecessarily re-
pcutcd. Ii i understood they are from
the pen OF DIR. Dorsey.
Hubbard Is nominated for Congress
by two TO one over Gen. Harris, who con-
tested the nomination with him. Gen.
Harris sent in II letter to the convention
which does credit both 10 his head and
heart, declining to he i'll the way for
Governor. The General had many
friends for Congress; and had it not
been felt that il would have been both
unjust and damaging TO throw over
board man who had done his duty as
faithfully as Mr.. Hubbard had done
his, the Generals prospects would have
been second TO none. But the necessity
for Mr.. Iubbard's denomination, like
that demanding the denomination of
Gov. Foreman, was so obvious that the
Generals friends do not doubt hc Will
ucquiesce in the one case as gracefully
as IN the other.
