FOR THE WATcHMhN.

We are highly gratifed TO learn that WIN. S.
CARDELL. Esq" Author Of " Jack Halyard,'' is ex.
peced in our Borough The latter part of this week,
to deliver course of Lectures on Language. The
more the writer has investigated his new system OF
English Grammar, the more firmly is he convinced
that ii is founded on the true philosophy and genius
OF our language. tits, If we may speak, the de
sire of nations" 1t is simple concise clear, beau
tiiul, harmonious and original. The Au, hor, we
believe has never been charged with cmpircism or
quackery. He has undoubtedly done more for the
science Of English Grammar than Pythagoras or
Copernicus did for Astronomy, or Bacon for PHI
losophy; and We presume he will meet with very
liberal patronage in this region.

The inquiry is often made :.Why there are not
a greater number of original articles published
in the GARL4ND3" In answer to this, we reply,
that We cannot satisfactorily account for the
circumstance. We are not. however, without
many original favorS. although but lew o.
them appear; because we prefer publishing
sterling selections rather than insipid origin.

CONVENTION.

M. Morris # ". moved to suspend
Che rule tor the purpose of re-consider-
ing the vote rejecting the bill concern
ing Convention.
Mr.. Letter supported the motion on
the ground hat the public mind would
not be satisfied until something was done
on this subject. In 1911 memorials
were presented on this subject and re-
jected But the war Coming on, the
subject was dropt. Since the peace the
subject had been renewed by the people
He referred to the first Staunt0n con-
ven'ion and the redress of the unequal
representation and land tax was the re-
suit. This relief was but temporary;
but the great grievances had not been
.remedied and many memorials were
now before the legislature.
Mr.. Mas n, of ). enquired if it was
parliamentary to 60 into the merits of
aquesiion on a motion TO reconsider
The Speaker said that the member
must contine himself to the question be-
fore the House: but was competent
20 him 10 enter into the reasons which
should induce the House to reconsider
the vote.
Mr. Letter resumed his remarks. He
contended that the bill had been rejec-
ted prematurely, aud without debate.
Mr. May moved to postpone the con-
sheraton OF the question until Wednes-
day next. The ,ot on the question was
something like 200; and according to a
count just had on another subject, there
was nothing like that number lie re :
GREETED that the bill was rejected ON it's
second re ding; but it was 20 be recon
sidered, be thought that notice ought to
be given.
Mr.. Kigsr, opposed the motion to
postpone. Mr., Sh,p wishing the ques-
sicn fully and fairly discussed and de-
cided, sustained the notion.
Messrs. LETTER and gVtcher took the
same ground. The latter gentleman
was sick when the bill was rejected, aud
had no idea that the course pursued
would be taken.
The question on the indefinite post
ponemept was then dec ded in the ma
gative, ayes SO, noes Sc The motion to
postpone until Wednesday next, was
then agreed to, ayes ga, noes rs.
