held in this county. where local poll
tics were not under consideration,
that was so largely attended or ell.
Enthusiastically and tremendously con.
Quoted. There was not single
township but what had its represen.
tatives present, and not a single Incl
dent occurred throughout the pro-
ceedings to mar the harmony all
seemed bent upon to maintain. BE
it said to the credit of the Intelligent
body of men which composed this
convention, that they did that which
reflects not only credit upon them
selves as individuals, but as we'll
upon the party to which they claim
allegiance.
