 In the Claiborne Chronicle of the 18th inst: there is a statement in lhe editorial columns in reference to the proceedings oi ihe Democratic Convention recently assembled for the purpose oi nominating candidate represent this District m the Congress of the Unned States, which should not have been permitted to pass so long unnoiiced and uncontra- dcted.

 The editor of that paper having referred to the instruction given 10 the delegation from Mobile 10 vote for Col. Phillips and their reluctance to yield that pre- erenceto the resolve of their country cousins, Gas h. has been pleased term the coun- try delegates, remarked that ''ihe latter, indeed, made little scrule oi declaring that the ground of their opposilnt to Col. Phillips, principally consist ed in ihe fact d his being Jew; and that they would not for d moment think of supporting man who could not swallow the 'hog- g-mea' and the scrip lures of the Ne. we'll as of the Old Testanenls. '

 Here is, indeed, grave charge against the Com venIions strengthened by specification, and present. ed to the public under the imposing form of credlb- ty, when in trU the entire statement IS unsuscepl- ble of proof ani details, occurrences and cil cum stances winch sever transpired. was present as delegate, and participated in all the proceedings of the Consentnn-I have inquired of others who were there he capacity, and our united testimony is wholly and unquaihedly III contradic- ton to the thus given of the declara- tions and of the country delegates in their op- position 10 the nomination of Col Phillips in the Convention.

 we know hot upon "hdt au,"oIiiF V'e cu''" "as imputed motives and narrated incidents of which the delegates hemse Ives are uniniormed-and the first imtinatI0n of which was communicated 10 them through the columns of the Claiborne Chronicle.

 IL is due, not only to Col. Phillips, hut to the pub lic, 10 state, that there not in the Convention d whisper of objection to him within our hearing, and we are confident there none on the ground oi his religious opinions. The question of a selec- ton of a candidate altogether one of avaiabili- ty-and this decded the nomination in favor oi Judge Dargan. ONE OF THE DELEGATES.

 P.S. The Democratic papers in the District will please publish the above act of justice 10 the Convention.
