Besides the number of Delegates usually elected to such Conventions, equal to the number of Members of Assembly, (128, ) there were chosen, by general ticket, thirty-two Delegates of the State at large, corresponding in number to the number of State Senators. Mr. Merrill was nominated as one of the local delegates, and Mr. Frank as one of the delegates at large, without regard to location. Thus Warsaw happened to furnish two of the Delegates to the last Convention.
* Mr Patterson died August, 1838. Harvey Putnam was chosen for the unexpired year of the term.

HISTORY OF WARSAW.
TOWN OFFICERS.
It was our purpose to give a full list of town officers from the organization of the town in 1808. The town records down to 1830, inclusive, being lost, a complete list can not be given, except of Supervisors and Justices of the Peace. The names of these officers from 1808 to 1830, were obtained from the records of Genesee County.
JUSTICES OF THE PEACE.
Under the Constitution of 1777, Justices of the Peace. as well as all the higher Judicial officers, were appointed by the Council of Appointment. By the Constitution of 1821, the Board of Supervisors were required to nominate, at their annual meeting, men for the office of justice in each town, and the Judges of the County Court were also required to make such nomination. If their nominations agreed, the persons thus nominated were duly declared elected. In case of disagreement, the choice was to be made from the two by the Governor. This mode did not prove satisfactory; and at the general elec- tion in November, 1826, an amendment of the constitution was adopted, mak- ing the office elective.
The following are the names of persons who have held the office of justice in this town. After the office became elective, justices, though elected at the town meetings, did not go into office until the Ist of January following:
1806 March 22, Elizur Webster.
1808 April 4, Elizur Webster.
1808 Jotham Curtis.
1809 March 11, William Bristol.
1810 March 15, Elkanah Day.
1811 March 23, William Bristol, Jotham Curtis
1812 March 10, Samuel McWhorter, Daniel Knapp, George W. Fox.
1813 March 30, Elizur Webster, Judge and Justice of the Peace.
1813 March 30, Edward Putnam.
1814 April 7, Elizur Webster, Judge and Justice of the Peace.
1814 April 7, Samuel Hongh, Edward Putnam, Daniel Knapp.
1815 March 16, Elizur Webster, Judge and Justice of the Peace.
1815 March 16, Samuel Hough, Samuel McWhorter, Daniel Knapp.
1818 Samuel Hough, Samuel McWhorter, Daniel Knapp, James Webster.
1819 Edward Putnam.
1820 Zera Tanner, Elizur Webster.
1821 Daniel Knapp, Mayhew Safford, Chauncey Sheldon, Shubael Goodspeed.
Samuel McWhorter, Daniel Knapp, Shubael Goodspeed, Lyman Morris,
IS23 on nomination of the supervisors and judges. The two bodies having disagreed on James Crocker and Mr. Morris, the latter was appointed by the Governor.
There were several elections by the people before our record of town elections commences. Justices were elected for four years. Some of them, however, did not serve a full term, as will be seen from elections to fill vacancies.
