Rensselaer Gazette, Volume 3, Number 46, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 March 1860 — CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION. [ARTICLE]

CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.

We have a letter from a friend, suggesting Francesville as a good point for the holding of our Congressional Convention this year. We heart ily concur in our friend’s suggestion. -r’rhe Convention has always (with a single exception) been held in the eastern part of the District, and generally, perhaps always at Plymouth. We think this is hardly fair. We, of the western part of the District, feel some interest in the Convention, and do not think we should always be compelled to go to Plymouth, or remain unrepresented. We think the place of holding the Convention should he alternately in the eastern and western parts of the District, and, as the Convention has always been at Plymouth, we think justice to us demands that it should be held this year in tiiis part of the District. We are not strenuous about its being held at Francesville, though we think that is, on some accounts, the most suitable place. It is as easily accessible as any point in the District, and has excellent accomodations for holding the Convention, and we think it proper that it should be held tiiere. 13 .t we are not strenuous about this. Only let us have the Convention in this part of the District—at Francesville, or Reynolds, or even Bradiord, and we will not complain.
