The proper design Of caucus nomination is to
secure unanimiiy Of action among electors Of the

has been reasonably conceded that the benefits Of
Of good might coun,erbalance the oppor-
tunties for corrupt intrigue which the caucus system
affords to bad men. When caucus nomination lie
made without reference 10 union upon principles,
the only benefits Of the system monopozed by
dviduals and unless the secret aim of their intrigue
strengthen the hands Of feeble but ambitious
faction, beyond the candidate himself aud his imme-
date friends, can win no respect from ANY class or
portion Of an independent community. A private
mna,ion has in itself least equal dignity; and
it appeals directly from the man offered TO the judg-
ment of the people, is worthy certainly of candid
consideration.
An independent Senatorial nomination s now be-
