On motion of Hon. Calvin Morrill, of St.
Johnsbury, the nomination of Hon. l.. G..
Hinckley was made unanimous.
Hon L. G. Hinckley being loudly called
for, came forward and in a happy and fe-
licitous manner returned his acknowledge
ments for the honor of the nomination
conferred upon him. He referred to the
speech Of Senator Edmunds in the morn
inc, and to the Senator as one whom YER
mont delights to honor, who stands high
in profession that is as old as magistracy
and as necessary as justice; and who is
pre- eminent in the halls of our national
Senate as wise and pure legislator and
an honest man. He said that should the
voters of the state at the coming election
confirm the nomination now made, it
would be his endeavor so to discharge the
duties devolving upon him as to show that
the confidence placed in him by the Re-
publcans of the state is not misplaced.
For Treasurer, Kittridge Haskins, Esq,
of Brattleboro, nominated, and Gen. w.
Y w. Ripley, of Rutland, seconded, Hon.
J. A. Page, of Montpelier, for reelection,
and Mr. Page was nominated by acclama-
ton.
Gen. Ripley, of Rutland, from the COM
mittee to nominate State Committee, re-
ported the names of the old committee, as
follows:

UNJUsTIFIABLE.-The St. Adams Adter-
tiscr and the Messenger are having Il lively
war of words. and the - evening and the
morning of the first day" and of all other
days of the week, are cloudy with flying
missiles. 1t is none of our war, but we
must say that we do Mt see the propriety of
either combatant throwing brickbats ut in
nocent parties, as the AdrertiSer has done
in the heat of conflict The Messenger in
its account of the convention saw fit to
praise its action and speak highly of the
remarks made by Gen. Thomas. Where
upon the 1ddrertjSer says:
1t implies that our governors hitherto have wanted

ing that Judge Peek was a man of whom no man and
no corporation had ever dared inquire his price"
Neither the remarks of Gen. Thomas in
the convention. nor the character of the
man, justify in the least degree SO ungen-

mont and the people know this, and the
epthet applied will only return to plague

heard before sighting allusiOn to him from any Yer

Advertiser has explained that the term it applied to
him rather "jocular'' than otherwise, there are
many of the Advertisers friends that not par
tlcularly pleased with that kind of joking.
MAINE REPUBLICANS.-Thei state con-
vention met at Augusta, Thursday, and
re-nominated Nelson Dingley. Jr., for gov
ernor. Stanley I. Pullen of the Portland
