The Congressional Convention.

The Congressional convention which
is to meet at Amherst G. II. on 30th
inst, is drawing, near, and delegates
through the district have been appoint
ed, and the nomination will soon be
made. Augusta has but one candidate
so far as we are advised, and that is the
present incumbent, the Hon. H. st.
Geo. Tucker.
It is due Mr.. Tucker that he should
be nominated. He has had on his hands
a fierce political fight at every election,
in addition to this his seat was contest
ed in the last Congress and fraud in
every phase was charged, against
him and the people of this district, and
his motives and actions, both private
and public were assailed and denounc-
ed, with a bitterness and vileness of
epithet seldom resorted to any where,
and certainly never before in this dis
trict. Yet in the face of this, in the
teeth of these columniations, and de-
nunciations republican committee has
declared the charges unfounded, and
given the lie to tie accusation, so that
it now remains for the district whose
good name has been defiled set at it's
seal of condemnation on the actions of
it's defler, by giving Mr.. Tucker the
nomination and then elect him by such
majority over the man who has as
sailed the honesty and integrity of the
10th district, as will show him, aud the
world, that the people who have suf
fered this insult, have not done SO un-
rebuked.

Suspension Of The Times.

The Times, daily republican paper
of this city suspended publication with
it's issue of the - inst, the cause be-
ing a lack of support. The valedicto-
ry contains some sadness, but much
good humor, as we'll as good sense, land
we sincerely regret that we are to lose
visitor which we had begun to well
come to our breakfast table with much
pleasure. The Times struck the key
note when it put the cause of thu sus-
pension down in the business column,
and frankly stated that ne wspapers
are not run for glory, and that it, like
most other papers, owns no bank.
Its able editor we do not lose, as he
will continue the publication of Yost's

overshadowed by the Times.

then it don't rob any body to pay its
