ming, upon the motion of the
Washington County delegation,
Patrick Hamill. Esq, of Allegany
County, was nominated upon the
13Sth ballot While we are willing
to confess that we had our favor
ite, there is no man whom we
could support with more eagerness
and zeal than Mr.. Hamill. He has
long been prominent in Allegany,
and has represented his county a
number of times in the Legislature,
and is, at present, judge of the Or
phans' Court.
"He has been lifelong and con-
sistent Democrat, of pure and un-
sullied honor, and of fixed and un-
wavering principles. His best pat
ent to the office for which he has
just been presented as a candidate,
is that he was deprived of those
rights which make freedom dear,
by Radical misrule and Federal
Bayonets. But neither time nor
space will permit us to say more.
AS the standard bearer of our
party in the approaching contest,
we tender him our hearty and un-
divided support, and promise to en-
ter more at large upon our subject
