Gen. Dade replies to the Queries, which were
addressed to him and other gentlemen on Tues
day last. by Citizens Of Louisa county.-We
cheerfully throw open our columns to such other
calculated to draw forth the views of other nomi-
nees. 1t is one Of the most important subjects
which has ever been presented to the good People
OF Virginia-lts own merits cannot be too fully dis
sussed-Ihe opinions OF the citizens named for
the Convention, ought to be fully understood.
Respect ought uniformly to be paid to the Quail
ihcations Of the persons in question. Defssr dig
nissinlo! Let the most worthy only be elected
Those only who are the best qualified to serve
the Commonwealth this great question. No
man should be permitted to offer his services as
Candidate. Personal friendships, and local par
talities, should not he suffered to interfere in
subject the results of which are to extend 10 the
most distant corner OF the land and to the remo,-
est generations.-We confess, it is with deep re-
grft we hear doubts expressed of Mr. Mat,ison's
serving. We touched this topic some weeks
ago; for. we had then understood. that he had ex-
pressed wish, almost amounting to a resolution
to decline seat in the Convention, if one should
be offered to him. He alluded TO his age This
18th year-his venerable mother has since died
in her 99th) But we will not absolutely relin-
guish the hope of seeing him in the Convention,
until he has au,horitatvely announced his deter
minaton to the contrary. 1t is a great occasion
which calls him forth. The dearest interests of
his llow-citiZens at stake. He will have ev-
cry indulgence extended to him in the discharge
OF his duties II cannot be expected Of him, that
he should be confined every hour, or every day,
to the walls of the Conveniion-And the October
air of Richmond, is as healthy as that Of his own
Montpelier.
