You Know. The first popularity that a
stranger observes In the conversation Of a
Somerset dame or maiden, Is the frequent
occurrence Of the expression you know.
About every six words this little phrase i
slipped in 20 nugly, that the ear soon be.
comes accustomed to its frequent use. But
We would suggest that ideas can be ex.
pressed far more forcibly and with greater
originality by the omission Il this phrase,
and beg It, discontinuance.

umns Of the INTERIOR JouRNAI, allow rs

COUNTY CoNvENTIOS.-For months past
our community has been visited almost dai.
ly by some one Of the forty OF ffty aspi.
rants for State Offices, ready TO offer them
selves upon the altar Of their country. The
natural result Of all this lcg-rolling, but.
ton-holing and manipulation was seen Mon.
day in one Of the most disgraceful farces
At O'Clock, Dr. blackburn addressed the
Convention. Ills speech was able and dig
niGed. Some Of the aesthetic points made
BY him at the close II his speech were tru-
ly grand, and showed him TO be a man Of
the keenest Sensibilities and refinement Of
feeling. And II DR.. Blackburn he not a
good man at heart he il the most consul
mate hypocrit TO be found any where. Al
though the Hon. T. L. Jones had preceded
him and gathered the influential nabob-
into his foid, the stirring appeals Of
Blackburn, aided by liberal supply Of al
cohol rendered the croxd f,trions IN bia
support. The nominations were made and
in the most shameful confusion, aud il nav
now presumed that three-ioRrths Of the
crowd could not now tell why, or for whom
they voted. The result was as follows:
For Governor. L. z. Blackburn; Lieutsn-
ant Governor, james f. Cantrill; Attorney
General, p. W. Hardin; Auditor, d. How
ard Smith; Treasurer, james W. Tate; Reg
ister, T. ID. Marcum; Superintendent of
Public Instruction. J. L. Allen.
