their individual opinions than we
have ever seen in any Convention.

SO, whoever has been chosen and
whoever not, there can be no doubt
Of it THAT this choice Of nominees ap.

dividual preference which takes place
in o general election than is usual in
such assemblagcs. Nobody seemed
constrained to suffer himself con.

OF one county, which we refrain from
mentioning, rs it would be invilious.

Treasurer Richardson's promotion.
The contest between the ms and the
