Coalition of yNerican States.-In reading Mexican
papers it is very clear that the different States have
ceased to anticipate prolonged resistance on the part
of the capital to the American arms. In view of the
speedy fall of the city they are congrauating them
selves upon the wisdom of the federal system. Had
they been placed under the rule of consolidated cen
trail government, the fall of the capital would have in
volyed the subjugation of the whole country
The Federal System, they reason has created new
centres OF action, and even if the capital secumbs the
States each one for ITSELF will resist the ascendancy of
American arms, and refuse to recognize treaty which
may be forced upon the Central Government

three hundred tons burthen and was laden with car

morning of Friday, the 2lst of May. A tremendous

Not moment lost in lowering the boats and pac-

Liberty National Convention,

70 the Members of The Liberty Party Of The United
StattS.
The Presidential election of 1913 is Fastening on.-
1t is time the faithful friends of Liberty should meet
to nominate true and tried men their candidates for
the offices of President and Vice President of the u
nted States The National Corresponding Commit
tee have taken the best means in their power to Judge
both of the sentiments of the people and the signs of
the times as to what the true interests of the
party and the permanent good of the cause require
and they have concluded to call the National Nomina-
ting Convention to meet at the City of Buffalo, in the
State of New York on Wednesday, the goth day of
October at 10 o'clock, A. M. 1t is thought best that
the Convention should be organized as
MASS MEETING,
to which all members of the Liberty party are fully
invited, to participate in its deliberations and conclu
sions In voting on the nominations, however, each
State will be entitled to the same number of votes that
has in the electoral college, that is, the number of
its senators and representatives, in Congress 1t IS
believed that the following method will secure as eX-
act Justice us is attainable in the details:
|. Any delegate may represent district IT he is
chosen by district convention, properly called.
2. If State has chosen its quota of delegates at a
regular State Convention these delegates, ma
orty of them, if present, shall cast the vote of the
State, either individually collectively, they may
agree.
3. If State Convention has made any other pro-
vision for throwing its vote, such provision shall stand
d. in the failure of all these, the members of the
party present from any State, may hold meeting by
public notice. and decide how the vote Of their State
shall be cast.
s. If they do not decide then all the members pres
ent shall vote on the nomination, and their vote shall
stand as the vote of the State.
George w. johnson, ESQ.,, of Buffalo, is requested
to make arrangements on behalf of the committee, fol-
obtaining suitable place for the meeting.
