County Convention.

A convention of the people of Giles
county is called to meet at the Court
house in Pulaski on next Monday, for
the purpose of nominating a candi-
date to represent Giles in the State
Convention. We would consider it
out of place, and presumption on our
part, to pretend to suggest the name
of any man to the convention for
nomination, through these columns.
Il is the duty of this contemplated
convention to select man of the best
ability and Judgement throughout the
county. The Nashville Banner Of

Our FlOterial Representative.


AS will be seen from the proceed
ings of the Convention held at Cor
nersville last Monday, to nominate
candidate to represent this Pictorial
District in the Slate Convention,
Gen JNo. G. BRowN was declared
the unanimous choice of the people.
This was in accordance with an
opinion expressed by us two weeks
ago, and, as the Nashville Banner re-
marks, if it were possible for him to
represent the entire State, the demand
would be quite as universal. He is
as fair tpye of that school Of practi-
cal craftsmanship which must natu-
rally and inevitably rule the destiniss
of this State, as can be found within
the limits of her borders. While 3

The Convention.

In compliance with q call ma le
through the CITIZEN last week, quite
a number of the voters Of Giles coun-
ty assembled at the Court House in
this place last Saturday for the pur-
pose of nominating candidates to rep
resent this Pictorial District and
Giles county in the Constitutional
convention.
On motion, Maj. B. F. Carter was
called to the chair, and Jno. S. Wilkes
and F. o. M'Cord appointed sec ys /.
AS one of the Secretarys of the
Convention, we took down the whole
proceedings, with the substance Of
the animated debstes; but as it was
decided that the meeting was not a
convention Of the people. but simply
mass meeting, not authorized to
make nominations, We decline bur-
dening our columns with the report
in full. The meeting unanimously
adopted resolution declaring Ger.
John G. Brown their choice for Flo
terial representative, and instructed
the delegates to the Cornersville Cor
veuIion to vote for him. (The pro-
cssdings of the CornersviIle Cow, n
ton may be found elsewhere.)
The meeting adjourned without
making any nomination for county
representative, TO meet again next
Monday, at which time the different
districts in the county are expected
to send delegates empowered to make
a nomination. The diferent districts
were requested to hold primary NEE
iDgs tomorrow and send their dele
gates to the Convention.
