There was no.•other candidate for Supreme Court beside Judge Williams, and his nomination was a foregone conclusion. The majority of the counties in the State had instruct ed for Gen.

He pro tested against the gentleman "ringing l i p n ewspaper's, when none were men- I tioned. The resolution was nothing more, he repeated, than the expression of a well -recognized principle, and it was aothing more than proper that the Con vention should express its dissent from the wholesale abuse of members of the party who had labored zealously and faithfully in its behalf. Mr. E. continued at some length in favor of the resolution. C. W. Robb, Esq., was opposed to the resolution, and in high-flown language depicted the evils certain to flow from such trammeling of the press as was pro- posed. Farewell, he said, to honesty and good government, if it should , come to pass that • the press Should not be at liberty to criticise public servants.,He referred to the Comme - rcial, and aaid hat paper had done - noble service in the Cause of Republicanism. He paid a high com pliment to Mr. Errett, for his 'course as Senator, and said no, member of ; the Con- Vention or citizen Of the coutity would link his name with ,sorruption in any respect, nor would any one else do so in this comma/IST- - • .• , , • • i'i Mr. Errett —lt has been don'ts 'the the paper you speak cif.' • - A. delegate, sellopece—Yes, Major, but it took it all back. Mr: Joseph Dilworth, of the tee,Commit e made a feW remarks, begging the Convention' not to approve of the resolu tion, because the Committee had not, and because to do so might injure the Commer cial, , A , ltiob, watts very influential, paper. IsaiitrCohen; Esq., who had beet wait ing his turn for a. speech, now obtained hit oppolitesity. He endorsed all that had been said concerning ex-Senator Errett, whom he held in the highest esteem, endorsed all that had been said by Mr. Carnahan about the rights of the press, but he deprecated the personal character of the discussion, and,asked what the Republicans of - Allegeny county, in Convention assembled, had to do with these 'Patters, at this time. He would be loth, indeed; to assist in stabbing so valuable a paper as the Commercial had been and sincerely-hoped the resolution would be struck out of the report of the Committee. lie apostrophized the free dom of the press, and concluded his re marks by demolishing Napoleon 111. for • his interference with that glorious right. Mr. Errett begged the indulgence ol the Convention for. a Word. He asked the opposing gentlemen to point out in what way:the resolution proposed to interfere with the liberty of the press. The right of newspapers to criticise the action of public servants was not denied. He had been too long connected with the press to fairer interference with its liberty, and when that was • proposed be would be found amongst those clamoring the loudest against such innovation. Maj. Slagle thought the resolution had been entirely misapprehended. - It was intended as nothing more than a disap proval of the onslaught made upon the delegation from this county in the last Legislature. With ono exception, (who would be nameless) he believed the men sent from this county to Harrisburg, last winter, were honest, and had faithfully discharged their trust.: In this belief he , thopght the resolution not an improper one.
