The .s:atiOn.,l Democratic Coz
YCntiOU.

We understand the democratic members
of Congress fell some delicacy in lneddIing
IN the slightest dseree, with the National
Convention. But, when they found then
selves appealed 10 upon the time and place
of is meeting BY various meetings Of the
people, and when they found the State
Convention Of Georgia soking their in
terposition, they could not reconcile i; to
themselves 10 abstain altogether from ex-
pressing some opinion upon the question.
They accordingly met and conferred to-
gether; and the result is now laid before
our readers-being a respectful reeo n
| mendation to the democrats Of the Union
to meet, as Of old, according to the nsages
Of their party, at the usual place and.ime
tof meeting. In taking this course, they
do not pretend 10 dictate TO their fellow
citizens. bnt most respectfully recommend
the former course Of the Democratic Ma
tional Conventions 10 tho adoption oftheir
| republican brethren. The following is the
official account Of the proceedings Of the
meeting of the republicans Of both houses
on Monday night:

S'R:-1n the "Repor,er" Of the 18th
inst, you stated that you were informed
by me that instruction had been received
from the Commissioner of the General
Land Office, that the FIVE section Of land
selected by the Commissioners appointed
Ito locate the seat of government, and to
select the five sections of land granted BY
Congress to aid in erecting public build
ings,' had been rejected upon the ground
that the FIVE sections were granted .or the
purpose ofcemrletins the public buildings
at lowe City, or about that import.
In the conversation alluded 10, | inten
ed to have stated, if did not, tha. tho
five sections had been rejected or suspen.
ded, from the fact, that part of the Sec
tions were fractional, and contained an ex.
cess in quantity of five proper sections,
and as the commissions Of the commission.
ers had expired on the day that they mad.
their report to the Governor, there Wa,
not at this time, any person on The par.
Of the State, authorized to correct the re.
port Of the commissioners, and tia! i.
would remain for he action Of the rex.
Legislature.
To correct any erroneous impression
that may have been made by the article
referred TO, you will obIige me by insrr-
ting in the Reporter, the letter OF the
Commits Toner of the General Land Office
upon the subject, copy of which here
