OLD LEVERS CONVENTION.

The Old Liners, alias Lecompton Democrats, alias Bogus Democracy of Jasper and Pulaski counties, held a convention at Francisvilie on Saturday last, amknominated David Snyder Esq, of this place ns their candidate for Representative; and stuck, him on oT rather in\ a Lecompton' platformDavid is a genuine Lecompton or bogus Democrat too well known-tounake it necessary for us.;to say anything about his political pedigree. We ratlier suspect that he will discover that he is too well known for the good of his bottom in October next, and. that the.voters of Jasper and Pulaski will speedily come to the conclusion that he is much better qualified to dig around and take advantage of laws than to manufacture them. The simple fact that David is stuck in a platform that approves and indorses the infamous Lecompton English Swindle is enough to swamp him even if he was otherwise unexceptionable;" he might as well expect Mo swim with a mill-ssono around his neck: he Will find himself in the situation of the toad that was chained to.» stump, who rated and pitched but couldn’t make a jump. Go it David, we wish you a happy • inter at home.
