THE CONVENTION.

The convention which as
>embled at Firemen's Hall or
Wednesday last, was one re-
markable for its representa-.
1--WE qualities, the harmony Of
It's deliberations, and the spir-
1T of good will which seemed
10 characterize it's members
Business was conducted expe-
altlously yet deliberately, and
without any unnecessary in
lerruptions or acrimonious
discussions. The candidates.
with the exception of Sheriff.
were nominated without a
dissenting voice, aud the un-
successful candidates for that
position bore themselves un-
der defeat with that gencr-
Gus spirit which was to be ex-
pected of those gentlemen.
The proceedings Of the con- |
vention will be found in full
IN another column, hence it'll
would be supernuous to refer
to them more particularly in
this article. We can but coun-
sci a cordial and hearty sup
port of the nominees. Thew
ire all gentlemen wei! known
n our parish, and peculiarly
ltted to fill the positions to
Which they have been respec-
lively nominated. They need
