Ax a specimen of composition they , are ridiculous and absurd. , But for the gravity of the subject, we would be disposed to characterize the manner in which they are' drawn up, with a spirit of levity. A twelve year old boy of a piney-woods free school, whose only chance to go to school was , it t , after the "laying by" of a crop, would have dquo .better. The first resolution reads as follows : "Resolved That this Convention has learned with deep sensibility the announcement of the death of Hon William A Graham, a delegate from the county of Orange, and we deplore his death as a heavy and irreparable public misfortune; that as a innrk ot respect, unanimously entertained by this Convention, for the memory of the deceased and for his long valuable and distinguished services in the public councils of the Suite and nation, that the members and officers of this1 Convention, from a sincere desire of showing every mark of respect for the mem ory, of the deceased, do go into mourning for him for" one month." There resolutions, were evidently . . . . . , ... 4. passed with haste, and .without the .. .. , - consideration they deserve, so far as etymology and syntax is con cerned: We hope the. "Committee on Revision" may be allowed to render them readable and correct. Perhaps "Little Davy" in depart ing from the plebian course which he marked out for. himself nearly twenty-five years ago. thinks to so enikt the feelings of tho aristocracy in his behalf as to obtain a seat in the'United States Seriate.' It woriH do, tLittIe Davy,?. The autocrats will never forgive you to that ex tent.

He had the people's confidence and it was a bad trade to forfeit' it for such flimsy chances as a seat in the Senate. It won't wprk. . r . . Ransom is displeased. It is said that things don't work to suit him: Since the election of Patterson from Orange no new bids , have been made.' Ransom does not: receive that deference which hi3 defection demanded.- We really think that he has f made a bad bargain. It strikes us that he .should .4 have se cured his emoluments in advance. This thing of trusting the Demo cratic party Is a bad business.
