Col. Asa M. Dickey of st. Johnsbury
who had been invited to address tn
convention, was introduced by J. G. Dow
Esq, and proceeded to dissect the Re
publicans in a very scientific and effectiv
manner. The Democrats in the CONVEX
ton enjoyed Mr.. Dickey's remarks huge
ly, and frequently interrupted him b
cheers. We give in another place a
abstract of the address.
The ticket nominated is worthy ii
support of every Democrat, and if IL
county cannot have the Republican ticI
ct there need be no shedding of tears
some Of the Democratic nominees shoul
be elected.
