The Convention.

It is a source Of congratulation to the friends
Of reform in this State, that they have so uni
formly selected their best men for candidates
to the convention. The Radicals also have put
forth their best representative men in many
sections Of tue State. This is as it should be.
IL we need a machine constructed that requires
skilled wOrkmen we employ them, regardless
Of cost. Surely, the construction of State
Constitution requires lnen of well-trained in
tellects Of broad and liberal views, and of the
most enlightened Judgment. There is thus
well grounded guarantee that the work they
will have to do, will, in every respect be well
done

No Fusion :

We have been informed that the Radicals of
this county disappointed by the Withdrawal of
four out Of the seven Candidates selected by
their Convention at Harper's Ferry, have offer
cd TO confer their nominations upon several of
the nominees upon our own ticket in the hope,
Of course, that by this fusion a few Of their own
men might be run in. But the Candidates of the
Democratic Conservative party are mutually
pledged 30 reject such offers, and wish the lines
to be now drawn, as they are hereafter to re-
main. We can have no compromise or coali-
ton with Jefferson County radicals. They
have strutted their hour on the stage, and
henceiorth the people will be careful to hold
all authority in their own hands.
