County Convention.

Washington county Republican convention
held at this place on Saturday last, was full /,
attended and its proceedings were harmoui-
GUS The ticket nominated is fair one
and ought, aud We trust will, receive abou
the usual majority in the county The wis.
dom Of renominatiug Judge Carpenter for the
Senate seemed almost universally conceded
That he will occupy a commanding position
in that body and probably Gil the Office o
/ President pro tempore, there can be liitl,
doubt. For the new Senator, the Montpelier
delegation presented the name of Col. f. V
Randall but the proposition being first mad,
on the morning Of the convention, no sinai
share of the county had already centcred thei
minds upon Clark King, Esq, of East Mont
polier, to whom the nomination was given
Had the name Of Col r. been seasonabl,
brought out, the nomination might perhap
have resulted differently. Mr.. King ha
been high sheriff OF the county for severa
years, is well known throughout this section
of the State as gentleman of intelligence
business enterprise, aud a sterling Republ
can. In the discharge Of his senatorial du
ties he will doubtless DO credit to himse
and the county he represents. W. r. Dilling
ham, Esq, of Waterbury, the nominee 70
States Attorney, is the third son of the Elk
Governor, and one of the most promising o
the younger lawyers of the county. JAS. II
Holden, Esq, Of Middlesex, aud WIN. b
Orcutt, Esq, of Roxbury, the candidates
for Assistant Judges, are among the best cit
liens aud business men among US. ii. W
Lyiord, E,q., of Warren, put in nomination
for Sheriff, has for some years, as we under
stand, held goJd position in the line" anc
will doubtless make good officer. Judg,
Tilden received the significant sanction Of ,
denomination to the office of Judge of Pro
bate.
The greatest drawback to the convention
was the commonplace manner in which il
business was transacted, there being a NOR i
flying lack of the enthusiasm which the coca
sion demanded This can easily be account
g for, The Republicans of the county hay'
UT to learn that their ascendancy by the
ual decided majority is jeopardizol to an.
serious extent. Let them believe but h,
OF the rumors concerning the large Rcpubi

for Greeley. lie does it in answer to the dc.

speech he aludos to the fifteenth amendment
as never fully ratified and fraud in his
judgment on the American people" He
assorted that the nomination Of Greeley had
been accorded more in Difference to the wishes
Of the South than to any other cause. And
he further declared himself opposed to negro
suffrage, resumption Of specie payments, re-
demption of the bonds in gold, and non-tax-
alton Of national banks. There is undisguis-

" Among the documents embraced among

which have just been purchased by our gov
ernmeut, is the report Of Jacob Thompson,
the rebel agent 10 Canada to the Secretary Of
State Of the Southern Conlederacy-a docu-
ment which excites great interest. 1t is d
report Of secret operations set on foot in the
Northern States by rebel agents in order to
create ba7k fire in aid of the rebellion. 1t
touches on the " Sons of Liberty" aud their
plan to create a revolution at the North on
the efforts, partially successful, to burn steam
ers on our Northern rivers on the scheme
to burn New York and other cities, which
was deliberately planned, but failed, chiefly
because the Greek fire proved poor material ;
on the conspiracy to buy up the gold in the
North and remove it, and so utterly derange
our finances aud on various efforts Of this
nature Without involving any prominent
men by name, the report presents further
proof that much of the organization of the
Democratic party was in full sympathy and
completely with the rebellion. Incidentally,
there is an allusion to Mr.. Greeley, where
Thompson says About this time that cor.
respondence between our friends and Horace
