Information.—At a County Convention held in Wolfborough, represented by "all the morality, respectability, &c. in our county," a Mr. Lyford, a member from Meredith, whose moral worth has lately been much distinguished by his physical exertions in support of the infant manufacturing establishment of his own town, remarked at breakfast table, "that the Jackson party were all drunkards" and other like scurrilous observations. Hearing these assertions so publicly made, I think it my duty to take this method of informing Mr. L's. political friends at home, that he appeared to be perfectly sober, lest they should suppose such intemperate language might proceed from the baleful influence, (at this early hour,) of that general depravity with which he charged his political opponents, and which might have lessened the important, and perhaps indispensable usefulness of Mr. L. during the day. It might, likewise, have shaded that hard earned reputation for great political and physical powers, which he appears to suppose he is fast acquiring, by his deeds, and common-place slang, that would better grace one of his grog-shop Jacksonians, than a would be politician of Mr. L's magnitude.
