The Democratic State Convention which,
assembled at Psrkersburgh, MAY the 10Th

the accounts which we have before us-
All was life, enthusiasm, union, harmony
and good humor, and the nominations
were made in good feeling and proved to
be entirely satisfactory

it to be unnecessary for ms to express any
opinion concerning the action Of that BODY.

lieved no doubt, that they were pursuing
wise course, and we shall acquiesce in the
