For Register aud Recorder, Wm. John

deliberative body with credit to hinsel
and honor to the convention. His prompt
ness in despatching business was in strong
contrast with the SLOW ard biundering sty Il,
we witness so often Oh such occasions, in al
parties. The convention adjourned we'll sat
isfied with It's work, and cofident Of the tu
ture. II. DE BoAZ
