Pursuant to public notice the citizens of Hardeman assembled at the court room last Monday for the purpose of selecting delegates to the Convention which takes place at the State Capital on the 16th of the present month. From the harmony that prevailed one could not fail to be impressed with the belief that the vote of this county will be a unit on the 1st of August. A. H. ROSE, Esq., was called to the chair, and on motion, W. M. JOHNSON was chosen secretary.

By request, the address of the conservative members of the Legislature was read, after which it was moved by H. R. DORRIS, Esq., that five delegates be chosen to attend the State Convention, whereupon the following gentlemen were selected as the Hardeman county delegation: J. J. POLK, D. J. NEWBERN, M. R. PARRISH, Thomas JONES, and J. B. FAWCETT.

After the business appertaining to the gubernatorial canvas had been transacted, it was then deemed advisable to select delegates from the civil districts to attend a district convention, should one be called, for the purpose of selecting a suitable candidate for Congress.
