THE VIRGINIA CONVENTION.

Facts aud figures sometimes play the
duce with Theory. The late Virginia Con-
vention may be taken a sample Of what
North Carolina may expect II she calls a
Convention to remodel her Constitution.
The time Of that Convention was consumed
in discussing the Basis question-the very
question that would arise with US, to absorb
attention, create delay. excite sectional
jealousies, and re-awaken animosities
which the compromises made in 1885 had
laid at rest We invite special attention
to the following ex ract which we cupy
from the Southern Literary Mess enger for
J.ne. 1882. How does it correspond with
the declarations of 'cheapness and expe-
d!tiousness'' made by conventionists?

The Editor Of the ..sSsxs3
News states in his Issue 0f yesterday.
that the announcement of the nomination
of Gen. Scott caused considerable eycite-
ment in that city, as it was unexpected,
and certainly unwelcome news toits citi-
zens of all parties.
The News thinks it speaks the convic-
ton Of all. when it says that the nomina-
tion cannot receive the hearty support Of
any party in Georgia, and is confident
that in the present state Of feeling the
nomination of a third Presidential ticket,
by the Unien Wing delcgatesa Baltimore,
would be promptly responded to by the
Wings Of Georgia, most of whom, with
the true Union Wings of the North. would
prefer defeat with Fillmore or Webster.

a sectional chief and adds it shall not be
surprised to see a movement for a third
Presidential ticket in Georgia, which,
while it would defeat the designs of mere

event of the highest Importance in the
estimation Of all who regard the nation

HE Union Party IN ALAnAMA.-
The Union party Of Alabama, five re-
collect vishtly, some months since held a
Convention, at which they nominated a
Union electoral ticket and appointed dele
gates to IA National Union Convention.
Since the nomination of Pierce and King.
we observe that a prominent member Of
the party, Mr. ]. NJ. TarIeton, a Union
Democrat. has repudiated all connection
with it. The Mobile Advertiser (Whig)
thinks that very soon a lighted candle will
be necessary for the discovery ofa Demo-
crat who is in communion with the Union
organization. In other words. the Union
Democrats Of that State seem all to be
uniting themselves with the Democratic
party in support Of its nominees. Where

GENTLEMEN: l have the honor to acknow-
!rdg- your personat %indu-ss i'll presenting use
this dav your letter officially forming me Of my
nomination, by the Democratic National Con-
ycntion. as a candidate for the Presidency of the
United States.
The surprise with which received the in
teliigence of the nomination was not unmingled
with painful solicitude, and yet it is proper for
to say that the manner in which it con-
ferred peculiarly gratifying. The delega-
ton from New Hampshire, with all the glow of
State pride and all the warmth of personal re-
gard, would not have submitted my name to the
convention, nor would they have cast vote for
me, under CIRCUMSTANCES other than those which
occurred.
shall always cherish with pride and gratitude
the recollection Of the fact that the voice which
first pronounced for me-and pronounced alone
came from the mother of States-a pride and
gratitude Using far above any consequences that
can betIde me personally.
May not regard it as fact pointing to the
overthrow of sectional jealousies, and iookin to
the perennial life and vigor of d Union cemented
by the blood of those who have passed to the ir
reward-a Union wonderful in its formnt ion
bounCless in its hopes, amazing in its destiny |!
| accept the nomination, relying upon id n z
devotion to the interests, the honor, and the
glory of whole country, but beyond and
above all, upon Power superior to all human
might-a Power which. from the first gun of the
revolution, in every crisis through which we
have passed. in every hour of our acknow lodged
peril, when the dark clouds have shut down
around US, has interposed as if to battle huIna n
wisdom, outmalch forecast, and bring out of
darkness the rainbow of promise. Weak myself,
faith and hope repose there in security. | ac-
cept the nomination upon the platform adopted
by the convention, not because this is expected
of me d candidate, but because the princi Piles
it embraces command the appreciation of my
Judgment; and with them I believe can safely
saw there has been word nor act of my life in
conflict.

ments to you. gentlemen, to the convention Of
which you were members, and to the people OF
