an assembly, as the one in Charlestown
last Saturday, be tail exponent OF the
wishes ofthe people of the County 1t
could not for the reason that mass
meeting III any town in the County,
must have in the meeting a prepondera-
ting number of the people Of that town,
for a lawyer can leave his books, or
merchant his counter or mechanic his
occupation, for few minutes or al
hour, while, unless he be personally IN
terested, man W i'll not ride from dis
lance to be present at such meeting
unless for some extraordinary occasion.
This was demonstrated last Saturday b!
the 50 selected delegates being able TO
cast a two-thirds vote for all the Charles
town candidates they choose to put IN
nomination, showing conclusiveiy how
many more names oi citizens OF Charles
town must have been in the hat than
from all the rest of the County together.
Another reason why this assembly
was not an exponent Of the wishes OF
the County is, that all who partlcI-
pated in the Convention OF Monday
22nd,and all who approved its acts We're
absent. hence those who were present
were the dissatisfied men Of the County,
who beaten in every contest before the
people in the Conventions, were like
the hoosis, gambler, willing to ''ante
up" again, and take all chances.
From the acts Of such an irresponsi-
bic crowd we appeal to the voters OF
Jefferson county, for vindication OF
the Convention. Our Convention met
in obedience to your orders, acted from
the best lights before them, gave You as
your nominees, representative mentrom
every portion of the County-men Old
enough for councillors, and young
enough in the hour Of danger to take
the t!cld in defense of the Common
wealth, and now ask You to confirm
their action by tliumphantly electing
the nominees. Will you 60 it | can
not doubt the answer

p@- The CHARLEsrowS MEETING
BY request We publish the proceedings
OF the meeting held in Charlestown. on
Saturday last, though the papers Of that
town die not publish the proceedings Of
the regular Convention, or the names
of its candidates. But while we do this,
We can not endorse the proceedings OF
that meeting 1t was in no sense a
representative meeting, the selt-appolpt-
ed delegates represented no conSlituen-
cy, but on the contrary some Of them
were the defeated candidates for that
position before the late primary meet
ings, at which delegates were elected TO
the regular Convention, which was the
only legitimate body that had 4 right to
speak for the whole people Of the Coun-
". Does any one doubt that had the
"Charlestowh ring" succeeded in getting
their candidates as they did last Fall, that
any dissatisfaction would have been ex-
pressed Or any Mass Meeting called in
their own interest ? 1t is right to learn
from an enemy and the delegates to this
Convention, taught by the tactics Of the
"Charlestown ring" practiced ill the
A i
the same movements andy that means,
succeeded in breaking the ring SO
confidently formed. Then, the rest OF
the County gracefully yielded to
Charlestowu and rolled up = large ma
jority for their ticket Now, turn Il
bout is fair play. Will Charlsstowu do
