Ooxworth's Hall, Hensel', was packed on Wednesday of last week, by the Lib- erals of the South Riding, who load gathered for the purpose of selecting a candidate for the Local Legislature. Some of the Conservative papers have been stating that there was a split in the Liberal ranks in this riding, but there was no evidenos whatever, of such a thing, and the result showed perfect unanimity. It had been assumed that Mr. Bishop would again be a candidate, bat he stated positively that he wag not. He had been in public life for 30 years, 20 of whish had bath as representative for the riding ; the people had honored him with their confidence and support, and he had endeavored to serve them to the beat of hie ability ; he believed the time had coma when he should take a rests, and whoever received the nomina- tion would have his heartiest support. R. Holmes, Clinton ; S. Smillie, Hen• sell •, and R. Hays, Seaforth, were ap- pointed scrutineers, and nominations for candidate were made by ballot.

Y, McLean had considerably more than a majority of the delegates, and on motion of Mr. Collins, eeeonded by Mr. Doig, the nomination was made unanimous. Mr. McLean thanked the oonvenbion for the hornet done him, an honor enbirely im• solicited on his part, and melted for their gipped in keeping South Huron in Lib• era! line. Short speeches were also made by others who had been before the con- vention, on- ventit, and also byJohn McMillan, The following u was carried resolution by a standing vote, and responded to by Mr. Bishop :—Moved by D.
