YOUNG MEN'S CONVENTION IN THE COUNTY OF STRAFFORD.

The Convention assembled at Wolfborough, agreeably to previous notice, on the first Wednesday of October, was called to order by J. B. H. Odiorne, Esq. of Dover, and organized by choosing James Y. Demeritt, Esq. of Madbury, Chairman, and Samuel B. Buzzell, of Strafford, and George W. Ela, of Dover, Secretaries.

A committee, consisting of Messrs. J. B. H. Odiorne of Dover, T. Wentworth of Somersworth, and R. Furber of Centre-Harbor, was appointed to receive and examine the credentials of the delegates.

Voted, that those gentlemen present, not members of the convention, who are friendly to the cause, be requested to take part in its proceedings.

A committee of ten, consisting of Messrs. Lyford of Meredith, Thompson of Centre-Harbor, Quarles of Ossipee, Foss of Strafford, Frost of Durham, W. P. Drew of Dover, Bell of Gilmanton, Avery of Gilford, Remick of Tamworth, and Carter of Wakefield, was appointed, to draft and report to the convention, resolutions expressive of the sense of the convention in relation to the candidates for the Presidency and Vice-Presidency of the United States.

The committee reported the following resolutions, which were read, and unanimously adopted:

Resolved, That this convention believe that every citizen has a right, and at this time it is his duty, to express his opinion relative to the candidates offered for the Presidency, at the approaching election.

Resolved, That in expressing our opinion upon this subject, we confine ourselves to their merits and qualifications, without local feelings, and without regard to former political distinctions, believing that such distinctions have no connection with the great question now before the people.

Resolved, That we have undiminished confidence in the experience, ability and superior qualifications of JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, and believe him worthy of the exalted station he now occupies.

Resolved, That the unexampled prosperity of the country, is in a great measure the result of the wisdom, prudence and enlightened policy of the present administration, and we consider the re-election of John Quincy Adams the best assurance of the continuation of such prosperity.

Resolved, That in our opinion the violent and unprecedented opposition to the present administration, originated in disappointed ambition and sectional and personal animosity.

Resolved, That from the history of the past life and conduct of Gen. Andrew Jackson, we consider him, on account of his habits, temper, and limited information, unqualified for the first office in the gift of the people.

Resolved, That from the established fact of his confederacy with Aaron Burr, in conspiring to dissolve the Union: from his unconstitutional conduct in Florida, and numerous other illegal and unjustifiable acts of his life, we consider him wanting in those republican and patriotic virtues required for the exalted office of President.

Resolved, That we approve of the nomination of George Sullivan, Samuel Quarles, Samuel Sparhawk, William Bixby, Nahum Parker, Thomas Woolson, Ezra Bartlett, and William Lovejoy, as Electors friendly to the re-election of John Quincy Adams to the Presidency, and the election of Richard Rush to the Vice-Presidency, and will use all possible diligence to secure their election.

We learn that the meeting was very numerously attended—that the best spirit prevailed—and that measures were taken to arouse the friends of Union and the Constitution to a due sense of the importance of attending the polls in November, "one and all."
