According TO arrangement the delegates
from The several counties to The Democratic
Convention, assembled at the Seat Of Gov
ernment on Monday, the lotb inst. The
Hon. lessee Speight, Senator from Lowndes,
having been called to the chair, was, by
resolution passed, made Presidentsof the
Convention. Two Vice Presidents and three
Secretaries were at the same time appointed.
Gen. Spsight addressed the Convention at
some length, when, after some more talking,
and doubling and twisting by others, "a
committee was appointed to consider the
proper mode of proceeding, and report to the
Convention tomorrow morning. The con-
vention then adjourned.''


On Tuesday morning, the Convention ha-
wing been called to order and the report Of
the committee received, able addresses were
delivered by Judge Quitman, Judge Smith,
and Colonel Saunders, all bond-payers. A
resolution was introduced by Col. s., the
effect of which was, that the bond payers
should select one of their own party to be
nominated for Governor-the repudiators be-
inc granted all the other officers Of State
also the members Of Congress. This resolu-
tion was. as might be expected, laid on the
table. This the repudiators would not listen
to of course.-They did not wish the bond
payers TO withdraw but, if nothing but a
bond paying Governor would content them,
they might leave, and goodbye. The bust
ness so far having been thus amicably settled
the Convention adjourned until o'clock.

It will be seen by the above that the Whig
have no cause to fear the result of the ansu
ing election. Reputation is experiencin
its last dying agonies, and every effort mad
to sustain it but hastens its sure decay.
