ii the whole matter is to be cut and dried
without the instruction of the Convention
the Palmyra gentlemen will save the people
much anxiety, and the delegates much incon.
venience, by informing US forthwith, what
selections they have agreed upon.
For ourselves, we enter our solemn protes,
at the threshold, against this system of log
rolling intrigue and corruption. We have
not the least objection to see Mr.. WrightIthe
choice Of the Convention, and we should
take pleasure in giving him our support; but
we most cordially reprobaie the spirit and OBJ
ject of this circular. We cannot believe
that he had any part Or LOT in the matter. and
we can only attribute it TO The blind indis.
erection of his too jealous and partial friends.
The scheme is every way Objectionable, and
Anti Democratic. 1t is in direct hostility to
the objects of a Convention-a fair ex-
preston oil the Will Of the people-and it is
highly unjust to other aspirants to a seat in
the Councils Of the nation.

Mr.. ErIToR:-Itno now seems to be render
ed certain that 4 Democratic State Convcn-
ton will be held in this State. SOM time next
spring, for the purpose Of nominating u num-
Der OF Candidates for congress-, equal to the
number of Representatives to which the
State may by entitled under the Census of
1910. In high part, times like the present
the convention system, 10 nominate candi-
dates for Office, is sometimes resorted to as
a kind Of "necessary evil to prevent, two
or more Candidates Of tie same political par
~. from running for the same office. But it
too often occurs that the public will, or the
public good, is wholly ~disregarded under the
convention system. and every thing is made
to yield to the will of 4 few ambitious, self
constituted aspirants to office. In other
words, POLITICAL Conventions. are some
times held simply for the purpose Of con-
frming arrangements" previously entered
into By The high contracting parties. 1t is the
knowledge Of these facts, that have caused
many honest men, 10 set Their ldCeS against
the convention system,
If tie people wish to preserve their rights
inviolate, let them take matters into their
own hands-let them bring out candidates
for all offices, of their own choice, at a
period sufficiently early to afford an oppor-
tunity to fully discuss the question of SUI
perior merit of the Candidates thus brought
before the public; and if their names ultima.
tely be presented 10 Concentration con-
formation or rejection, let the people be
careful to select delegates to a Convention,
who are known 10 be honest, and who will
carry with them into the Convention, the
will Of the people whom they represent, and
not their own will, or the uiH Of any par
~tieular aspirant to office. Delegates comPo-
sing Conventions to nominate Candidates for
Office to be supported by the people, have
a highly respectable duty to perform, and
should be extremely careful in the exercise
Of their delegated powers, not 10 be led from

OUR MINISTER TO ENGLAND

We give below a copy Of a letter from
MIR. Everett, our late arFointcd minister to
England. in reply TO certain interogitories re-
lative to his opinion upon slavery when 4
candidate for Gov. in Mass. in 1899.
1t was our opinion when we frs, heard Of
his nomination, that it would be confirmed by
the Senate, and we were surprised that the
Federalists should show so much ingratitude
TO their old allies the aboIirionists, 10
whom they axe greatly indebted for the pow
er which they now WELD as to doubt for a
moment. TIE proPriety Of confirming the
nomination Of one o: their leading men,

subject. shows ~atlcast ihat they arc not IN

termined sill - seek abolition Cooperation.

day of their pnwer to cast or 4 body of
men who cried So Justify in tie late coLvass
for Tip and t.. They see too well the alb
soIute necessity Of preserving order in their
shattered ranks, and of conciliating all par
ties. Bu, how they can long reconcile SO
many conflicting piinciples-how they can
preserve harmony and order. when there are
So many opposing interests 10 serve, we are
al 4 loss 10 conjecture. How will the south
ern stakeholder brook tie idea of being rep
resented in the Court OF St. James By one
whose opinions conflict directly with his
dearest interests, and who would be ready
TO unite with British Aboiiticn;sts in their
designs against slavery. Bat 4 union Of
Shareholders and abolitiOniSts is required 'for
the sake of the Wings" Il is necessary to
sacrifice the feelings and interests OF The one
to retain the support OF tie other or their
party must fall to pieces. A southern whig
vote IN support Of an abolition nomination is
evidence that they think so.
But hear the interroga:ovies, with Nh.
Everett's answer:
Ist. ".Are you in favor of the immediate
abolition, BY law, of slavery in the District
Of Columbia, and of the slave traffic between
