McDONALD, of Columbia Hill, (eeeeeeeenttiniteeny amnesia Tue Sancent ResoivTions —lo—the. Cotinty Convention, on Saturday Inet, MrBell; of Bridgeport Township, « friend of Sears, offered.a resolution that the delegates to the State Convention be instructed to use all honorable means to sectire the nomination of A. A. Sargent a6 a candidate for Congress, The obvious intent was to compel the Convention either to belie itgelf or to make a good puint on Sargent. By the adoption of the report the Cooveniiun would ‘have absindoned the position taken in the: Primary contest. The fejection of the re.port, to those who did not understand the . isgue in the Primaries, was an apparent refusal to indorse Sargent. Tlie, resolution of Mr. Bell was promptly tabled by the friends of Mr, Sargent. ; Mr, Martin, for the purpose of showing up the trick, offered a series of very decided resolutions, indorsing Mr. Surgent’s patriotis, ability. integrity and his past course, and deprevating and denounciug those who had heaped abuse upon him. Mr. Sargent arose, und after ‘reviewing the history of the Republican party in this county and hia early connection with it, defying any one tosuy that he had ever asked eny man for hie support for Congress, either by letter or word, asked Mr. Martin to . . withdraw his resolutions. Hv alluded to the sbuee which bad been heaped upen him, said it was powerless to injure, and that he wanted no vthet ‘nor better vindication or indorsement than that given in the late Primary contest, and evidenced by the husts of loyal men from every part of the county that were congregated in that Convention. At the request of Mr. Sargent, Seth Martin withdrew the resolutions. Sargent’s friends may well be proud of the manner in whiich his enemies were disposed of in his apeech of Saturday. There was no bitteraess, no denunelation, nothing ungentlemunly in. his remnatks. H.e speech was characterised by that earnestness and independence that is conclusive evideng@! of a “consciousness of right.” No shafthurled by enewies can ever reach stich a man. _ ‘Tue Moyements.-Frow the movements of the army in Virginia,-under the command of Grant, it ia’: impossible te conjecture what point will bethe scene of the next conflict. Largo bodies of troops are marching and counter marching, and says a recent diepateh, “no man but Grant cun tell where the blow willbe struck.” ‘The rebels areas much at a lose to understand Grant's strategy. ae the army critica of the press, North, . Oue thing .we feel sure of, the next blow will be felt by the rebel Government and muy decide the possession of the rebel capital.
