The procession marched to the Congregation

pied for nearly half century by that faithful
sentinel upon the watch towers of Zion, the
venerable father David Thurston was the ora

1t would be well for the delegates of the
republican county convention, to reasonable
in this city on Tuesday next, to procure new
credentials, as probably the credentials used
in the first convention are not now in exist

who are candidates, the presence OF creden-
tials would settle the matter at once and with
out controversy.
