a few who seem willing to commit the administration of State and National affairs fc Democratic it is right that the record of Democratic votes during the late Extra Session of the Assembly should be

C Co The members of the cratic residing in the County of protest the call for a State Convention on July made by D A as Chairman Ism of the State as published in the newspaper of the 8th of which he is editor We are of the opinion thai the time for the assembling of the 4 is premature and inopportune Congress will meet on the 4th of but nothing im- portant will probably have transpired by the tenth inst The future policy of the country will not be and U would be denying ns a great advantage to hold oar Convention so near the meeting of Congress that we could know nothing bat conjecture as to the mentous issues that will be brought before that body between the time and the day of many events might and facts be brought to properly tbe action of the Convention There is no in any that the Convention should be at so early a day The time between tbe date of and the meeting of the is too short The call could the distant parts of the State in season to enable the Township and County Conventions to assemble and appoint their delegates The consequences would be inasmuch as voting by wosy is that the Counties would not be felly and equally represented in the Slate Convention The

thoroughly circulated A Sharp Criticism Great Affair The Boston Journal publishes the following sharp criticism on the Great Bethel affair from the pen of in Of the sufficient to say that it was begun without any knowledge of the enemy's and so without any plan it was ried on without any each man fighting on his own it was ended fittingly by a tout and a during had the enemy been in condition they might have killed our men like sheep And the retreat was ordered when the Massachusetts men had already partially gained the enemy's and a little more energy and perseverance would have given ns the victory The enemy's position was masked in front by bashes mhd and iras flanked by woods and thus a man who had a few rules to fight and could go no farther Yet the retreat was the most unspeakably dis- graceful of all A fresh regiment arrived Just before the retreat was ordered Another was and yet in such a horiy burly did the men retreat that eight wounded one sick and two dead men left behind
