TmE COUNTY coNvENTIoN.

The proceedings of the County Con-
vention, held at Dover, on Thursday
afternoon last, were characterized by
that harmony and cheerfulness of spirit
which has so far marked the actions OF
of the Democracy during their delibera-
tons. Everything passed of pleasantly,
and the utmost good feeling existed be-
tween the delegates composing the Con-
vention. The gentlemen nominated for
tue several offices are all honorable mon,
men selected for their honesty and abili-
ty, and not merely for political purposes
The Democrats of Kent county have rea
son to be proud Of their ticket and hope
full its success. The time for the cleo
ton is fast approaching, but the gallant
Democracy are determined to battle no
bly, for their principles and the suprema'
cy OF the white race, by triumphantly
elocting the whole county ticket, and
, ing up heavy majority for PONDER
and B1aes. They are determined to dc
all in their power to keer the govern
ment of the State in the hands of white
men, and with New Castle and Sussex
equally determined, Delaware may be
considered as willing to place herself in
line with those States who have already
declared themselves ip favor Of a White
/ Mans Governm emit.

has not been heard from since. He
probably had neither the means nor the
intention to buy or build, and was mere
ly prospecting, by which we mean that
he was travelling through the country,
as many now do, pretending to be de-
siroits ofbuying land, mill seats, or 9th
er property. Land hunters are most
numerous. They are VIII entertained
among the farmers, eat good dinners,
are driven around in carriages, talk
largely, and take their leave, no more
to be heard of. They thus travel cheap,
fare well, see the country, and enjoy an
economical pleasure trip, and are very
big men, for the time being. There is
more of this sort of thing done, than the
