ter from a Washington letter writer, TO 4
friend with the request that We should pub
lish it. We know nothing OF tho disscn-
sions of winch he complains. Every thing
in this district, so far as we have been able
to learn seems to conspirc for the general
harmony of the party. 1t is true that sew
eral candidates are Or the field, but all have
announced their intention to abide TIC de-
ciSion of a district convcntior: and that
that convention Will lie held OH fair and de-
mocratic principles, we have rot a doubt.
Then in what does the Danger consist? Or
where are the discussions save in the mag
%inatiun of the writer: Il is strange that nc
should hear So lnuch CT ii AZ WASHINGTON.
while we know nothing CT it here. This
seems to us much like an effort Irom Wash
ingtOn to ~forestall The ectian Of tie rcop:c:
or to say to them uron VIII! p'an the, my
organize the cO.ycation. We however, DO;
not so much object 10 TIC arguments Il the
letter as TO the Interference e tbs wIitcr.
We think that the people Of M;s<oDti a~e
capable OF managing ti:cir' c~n concerns
i'll their own way, without ell q he al
vice or the dictaticn Of Washington letter
writer's. We Are MT willing so admit that.
