We took some pains to ascertain
from the delegates in attendance At the
convention, tho feeling in regard to,
Judge McKelvy, in the various eoun-
ties Of the district, and, in almost ev.
cry instance, the reply in substance
was, that he was nearly tho unanimous
choice Of both parties. We are con.
strained to say, in conclusion, that
the spontaneous and overwhelming
uprising Of the people throughout this
whole district in behalf of the Hon. Jas.
N. McKelvy, shows that it is not ex.
aotly safe for any political faction, how
ever shrswd and strong they may
fancy themselves to be, to undertake,
by unfair or Legitimate means, to
crush, to ruin and to ,0oy1ay, ~ it
were, one man, whom they are unable
to use.

When ws nominated Judge McKelvy,
We felt that the position was his due,
on account Of his peculiar worth, aud
when We saw his letter declining the
nomination which bad been voluntarily
rendered him, We felt that another evil
dence of his merit was therein mani

would not permit him to enter into
