Wliereas, it has pleased Almighty God, to manifest to his chosen peo ple, the approach of that period, when, in the fulfilment of the promi ses made to the race of Jacob, and as a reward for their pious constancy and triumphant fidelity, they are to be gathered from the four quarters of the Globe, and to resume their rank and character among the gov ernments of the Earth. And where as, the peace which now prevails among civilized nations—the pro gress of learning throughout the world, and the geneiifl spirit of libe rality and toleration which exists, to gether with other changes, favorable to light and to liberty, ana in an es-. pecial manner, the approach of that time, when peace on earth and* good will to man,” are to prevail with a benign and extended influ ence, and the ancient people of God, the first to proclaim his unity and omnipotence, are to be restored to theirinheritance,and enjoy the rights of a sovereign independent people.

To-day the question is to be settled as to the mode of nominating the officers for this County, or rather, whether there shall ,be-a bonvention for that purpose or not. There are also thr$ei delegates to be appointed to meet the Senate District Convention at Warsaw, to nominate a candidate for the Senate. It is anxiously to be wished that there may be a full meeting; and that a fair expression of popular sentiment may be had on both these subjects. W hatever the decision ma_, be, we are ready to fur ther the will of the People, to the extent of our ability, whenever it shall fairly be declared. W e are sensible that there are different opinions as to the probability of obtaining a correct expression o f the public wish, through the medium of a convention. W e have our doubts, in com mon with many others. But if the peo ple usUl a convention, they will most likely spe that their wishes be fairly expressed through it. W e think it much better that thsy should will and direct it, than that a Committee should order it. W ith the examples of Ontario, Niagara and Erie around us, which by the newspapers we observe are relying upon voluntary nominations, a committee of this county might have in- curred severe censure by assuming to call a convention, contrary to the known professions.jand former wishes o f the inffi- viduals coipposing it. If the People order a convention, no one can complain; for their will, in mat ters of this sort, as in all others; should be law. In that case, there will be no re sponsibility to be shouldered by individu als ; and if anything can reconcile the ex cluded expectants, to the decisions of a convention, it will be the fact thifg the people called it. I f o b t h e p e o p l e ’ s press ] Mr. Editor— This county set the example of volun tary nominations, and other counties throughout the State, are adopting it*— Many have already done So.
