THE STANDARD.
GEORGETOWN. JUNE 6, ls4s.
A NATIONAL CONVENTION.

We copy into this paper an excellent
article from the Richmond Enquirer on
the subject Of democratic national con.
,ventiOn for nominating candidates fou
President and Vice President.
There have been various opin.
ions expressed in different States as
to the time the convention ought to be
held; and this difference of opinion has
led our opponents to talk much Of "diS.
coTd and mutiny" in the democratic ranks,
and TO predict an approaching division of
the party. But iftheir hopes of success
are founded mainly upOn such disunion,
their prospects must be as pnpropilious
as the most ardent lover of his country
could wish; for although a difference of
opinion and preference has been freely
expressed among the democrats, it has
been in such tone of mildness and con-
ceSsion as TO give us no apprehension Of
serious discord.
November of this year and May of ls.
a, are the different times that have
been mentioned for holding the cOnven-
tion. An expression of the democratic
press on the subject il invited by Mr..
Richie Of The Enquirer. So far as this
section Of 'he country is concerned, we
have not heard much said about the
time; but as public opinion seems settling
upon May 1874, our friends here, we
doubt not, will readily assen: to letting
November pass, with the understanding
that the Convention shall be held in MAY
next. And to the noDiaes ofsuch ma.
Iional convention, whenever held, all
good democrats stand ready 10 yield
their united support. This lhey. know
is due 10 their principles, 70, the pre-.
dOmiDancyOf which experience has taugh,
them TO submit all personal preferences
to that surest Of means of prOstratinQ
federalism and promoting democracy and
our cOuntry'S prosperity.
