both good men, and would have made
good representatives. Mr.. Thorn
burg was net present st tho Conyen-
ton, but was attending to his usual
business, and when requested to come
forward and acknowledge the honor,
he asked to be excused, as he was too
busy.
We know that his nomination was
a surprise to many who were supposed
to be posted in all political matters in
the country. Mr.. Thornburg is not
politician, and he Is, among his
friends, known as man Of tr1th.-
lie says it was a surprise to him, and
that heidi not desire the nomination.
His nomination vas u spontaneous
offering Of his fellow-citizens, to one
who had their full confidence, and
was not the result Of any combination
nor political wireworking.
We have no idea that any opposi-
ton candidate will be nominated,
but we certainly 10 not fear opposi-
ton. On the contrary, We do not
know whether it would not be better
for the party that there should be IN
opposition ticket, lest Indifference or
over confidence should tend to disor-
ganinti0n.

Our neig5bor of the Charleston
