J The vote lu the democratic convention j of that tiounty, last week, stood 48 for "primary" to 12 tor "convention." The plurality rule was adopted. A cokkkspondknt of the T/exingtou Dispatch, writing on this subject before the meeting of the convention in that county says: "If tbe Convention mode is adopted it will no doubt suit h por tion, but If the Primary be adopted it will give almost universal satisfaction to the working men wherever found. Log rolling and wire-pulling are curried i n to excess in the former, but In tho latter v\ e have Ireedom to cast our votes for candidates as we wish, and for whom we please. Thus It may be seen lh?t Pi Imary gives us more liberty and leaves us to choose for ourselves, and if we make an indifferent choice we do It, and have not other* tu blame. But when we leavo a Convention to nu?!?e our nomi nations, It dill'ers lu many respects from this, as It is almost next to Impossible for a very few men to make selections that will please the majority."
