not attend from conviction thatno nomination
would be made. THE Romney Argus was OPP
posed to early nomination, and thinks the re-
solution of Mr.. NUrtis,-of Berkeley, to adjourn
till August next, should hayesbeen adopted
We concurawith the Argus; but with all deteF-
ence toIhe opinion of the Virginian, we doubt
the policy of another Convention, as we cannot
at present see how its object is thereby 10 be at

Notwithstanding Republican.
"Mcet with no opposition;" why, it will re-
ceive no consideration or favor except with the
brain that conceiyed.it. The people have long
since, and we have no hesitation in making the
assertion, become utterly Disguised with all con-
venlional. proceedings. The recent one thatas-
sembled, was much larger as to number than
could have been anticipated from the seeming
indifference of the people as 10 the result. Save
the want of representation from Hampshire, for
the Delegates had been appointed from Morgan
and they alone are responsible for moi being pre-
sent, this Convention would compare favoraby
with any that have ever been heretofore held in
the District and was so per cent. larger than
any that could have been assembled at a later
period. Its deliberations were fair, honorable
and just-tray refleciing tie sentiments and
wishes ofthe District. And fotsoolh, becapse
certain gentlemen were defeated in theirspnr-'
pose, and fearful Of presenting the issue directly
to the people for ratification or rejection, they
have the arrogance TO conceive that The great
mass of The Democracy ofthe District will dance
TO any tune they may whistle. Another Conven.
ton, and what for? II one.was unable to satisfy
the longings of Jealous asprants, t~o will hardly
do it, Somebody musthe left out ofthe account,
and in the effort for conciiation, confusion will
but become worse COMPOUNDED. We have had one
Convention, and that is quite enough for the sea-
son, and even more than the people felt any very
great interest in converting. We have also one
nominee, and that is quite as many as will be en-
titled TO seat in Congress-, or the people of this
District are disposed TO quarter on the bounty Of
Uncle Sam The idea of4another Convention is
but downright absurdity. and we know what we
SAY when we assert, That the people ofthis Dis.
trict no more desire or expect another Cpnvens
tion4tos be assembled, than they. contemplate
sending its projectors onla tour of discovery to
the moon. - fF Z, 4 ri
