Jail mau named Donovan, who with one
other Of gang, had been arrested for
stealing four mules from Mr.. W. d. ia
mison Of Monroe township. He con.
fssaed his crime, said that he belonged
to gang. and we understand gave their
names. They we're on their way up the
river from below, and getting a glimpse
Of the mules, concluded to take them in.
They accordingly came ashore at Cap au,
Girls, aud succeeded in stealing, carrying

the democratic and conservative people
of the State to meet together in primary
in their several and respec
tive counties, at such times and places
as 10 them shall be deemed best, and
appoint delegates to represent them in
said proposed convention.
In view of the peculiar circumstances
and fearful exigencics of the times,
when every political movement should
be characterized by the utmost caution
and circumspection, and when it is so
vitality and essentially important that
wisdom, moderation and dispassionate
judgment should influence the conduct
and action of all men and parties in
dealing with the great facts Of our
present political situation, | would most
earnestly urge upon the people in elect
ing delegates 10 our proposed convention
to select the very best men they can
find among them for toe delicate and
responsible duties that will be imposed
upon them in that capacity. Let us
have a convention of delegates who
have sufficient intelligence to fully
realize the situation-sufiicient judg-
ment to apprehend the real wants and
necessities of the people, and compre-
bend the best and most practicable
remedies to be adopted for their relief.
Believing that a universal apprecia>
ton Of the magnitude and importance
of the issues involved in the approach
ing campaign will be sufficient to inn
press upon every intelligent mind a
conviction of the necessity of acting
with great care and circumspection in
all organized movements for the relief
of oar overburdened and oppressed
people, l doubt not but that in our
proposed convention we will have such
combination of talent, wisdom and
patriotism as Will be able to devise the
very hest practical means that can be
adopted for the good of the people, and
hence the safety and welfare of the
State.
In accordance with the provisions of
the second of the above resolutions the
several counties of the State will be
entitled to the following number of
votes in said convention
