Inc Ialcaton Mee.lng otne Free Democracy, appoint
edtonght has been adjourned until next Saturday when
Cddings and Lewis and other speakers from abroad will
be present.
u On looking over the few last numbers of
the National Era, one cannot but have noticed
the evidently dictatoral character of its articles
which have referred to the nomination Of a cam
didate for the Presidency. That the Era dis
claims being an organ, we are not at all igno-
rant. That the Era dogma;izes and talks just
as thought was an organ, every y knows
There is no doubt, in the minds Of great many,
that the bearings of this or lat mans nomination
upon the prospects OF this or. that mans sue
cess, was largely discussed by those who arc
supposed tG have the free soil cause at heart, in
washington land the attempt was made 10 trans
port this feeling to Pittsburg, and make it bear
there. For the future prospect of our cause, we
are glad to say these efforts faued, SignaVy fail
ed, OF all success, and we hope, will be lesson
to gentlemen in Washington, and other places,
that the PEOPLE of the Free Soil Party can
make their Platform, and select their ca nddates,
without the Interference or dictation from any
set OF men, in any latitude, who aspire to be lea
der3. If the Free Democracy have any men
at Washington who are engaged in their cause
these men will do we'll not to forget that they
have been sent there by the people at home
And the Era need not forget son what meat it
feeds" and by what means lit has grown so
great" DR.. Bailey, in an article over his own
signature, of the date of the Era, August 9th,
says: that "it is unreasonable that the Free De-
DOcracy, an making its nominations, should hare
no ricw 10 hcir probable influence GA the tro
great parties, tut that The Contention ought 10
take care that lis nominations BE- such as shall
bear 'cith The greater pressure against that pqrty
and that ticket, from the success Of ,ohich the
greater danger to lie cause Of Liberty is 10 be
Appreciated" The Era as no, an organ" but
it winds up article signed with the sign-man-
ual, and sealed with the Boss Editors seal, and
dated from fashionable watering place, Gin the
only paper which can be issued before the Con-
vention moets) with the dogmatical words, "1his
ispIainly The dictate of common sense, Let The
Convention be governed by these considerations
and as action UiH Gdrance The Anti Sl1rcry
cause" The next number of the Era is care
full to tell US that the nomination of Mr. Hale
was not the first choice of its Editor We don't
know who was interested enough to make the
inquiry, after reading the Era of two or three
weeks before, where the effort was made to put
Mr.. Chase upon the Convention, nolens, uolens.
Tho Era has probably found out by this time
that the Delegates from the West had mind of
theis own in this matter, and that Mr.. Chase
was mot in all their thoughts" We have no
doubt but that the Era will have more sense
than the New York Tribune has displayed in
letting off its wrath because the candidate it
had picked out was not nominated by the Con-
vention, and, like good organ, will fall in with
the music which the Pittsburgh Convention has
pitched the key for.
If there is no other good accomplished by the
doings at Pittsburg than to teach those who
would be the wre-pullers of the Free Democra-
cy, that these kind of officials are no, wanted,
and entirely out of Plac in the party where the
people rule-this will be worth the labor and
cost of the Convention.
Another part Of Washington management, of
not so much consequence, although of the same
piece was the calling Of the Convention at Pitts
burg, where it might be little nearer to Wash
in2;on influence. This took at least an addi-
tional Five Thousand Dollars out Of the Peo-
pies pocket, without one redocung feature, ex-
cept the qualification of the whims of a few
men at Washington. We hope that for the fu-
ture, those who think they can dictate to the
masses OF the Free Democracy their candidates
for offices, will bear in mind they are not dicta-
ting to the old bunker democratic party, or to
the whg party, which will take any thing
which has been written as a Platform, so that
they can have their man but to men who are
capable Of selecting their own candidates and
making the Platforms for them to stand upon.
II Our old bunker cotomporarics. all over
the State, are 6awling themselves hoarse over the
passage of the RIVER AND HARBoR Bill. in the
House and claim that as the House is largely dem
ocratc, that therefore, the credit of its passage
is due to the old bunker democracy. These hon.
est and fair dealing dogs cannot be induced, how
