lin the first DISTRICT remains quite lnrcconcllcd
TO our having Delegate to the Wing Ma
tiunal Convention from the third District, and
is equally troubled with pain in tho bowels
on the same subject. Now, gentleman, would
it not be quite as profitable to mind your own
affairs. and let ours alone? The Third Con-
grcssional District Is abundantly able to take
care of itself. In calnga District Convention
to secure the humble privilege of bcng repre-
scented in the Wing National Convention, we
implorc Our outside friend Of tho Regisicr to
believe that we arc not ovcrzcalous," nor
" stcallhy,' nor iactious" The movement is
not Il Fillmore, nora " chstcr nor u Scott one
but simply an honest " hlg movement. 1t is
feared that the three delegates from the Rcgis-
tr's district may not be permitted to represent
1" all Gods creation" and the rest Of mankind,
and it is deemed, by the State Committee and
the District Committee, pruicm at least to pro-
vide tins somewhat extensive District with one
representative. That he will be a Scorr man
Is undoubtedly as certain as that the sun will
rise tomorrow; but no questions will be asked
nor no pledges required. lie will be n YER
MOST WING, and that is all that is demanded
The Rccistcr rather lmpernonily persists in
pul.lng lis nose into our District, aud saying
extremely uuclvil things about Us, We are
sorry for it, We wish it wouldn't. We very
! respectfully wish it would mind It's own bust
ness, especially as it has got Att THREE Of
/ the Delegates Vermont IS entitled to in the Ma
tnna Convention. 1t only makes a nlnny
Of itself without producing any comp"nSatng
effect. Our District Convention will be held,
our Delegate will be appointed, and we are
willing to pledge Kossuth hat that he will be
REcoGNrzEp by the National Convcnlon.
One Of the strong arguments of the Register
against our Convention is that, ito use its own
words) ''the Call is signed by no responsible
name" The Call is subscribed: "BY ORDER
OF THE DIsTRcr COMMITTEE" Now Just
look at it The Call for the STATE CoNvEN-
rIoN, last Fall, (Which the Register looks upon
as "linalty,") was for the appointment o.
"Decgatcs at large to the National Convcn
ton, and Committees for the ensuing year."
uoihin~ less, nothing mare This Call was sub
scrlbcd: -"BY ORDER OF THE STATE Central
COMMITTEE" precisely as the Call for our Dis
trct Convention is subscribed. But the Stat,
Convention, notwithstanding its Call wa
signed by no responsible namc" went Oh :,
appoint District Delegates to the Wing Ma
tlonal Convention, very much, las we happc
to knOW) to the surprise Of numerous Wings i
the several Districts. The State Convcntio
had no more authority to appoint District Dele
gates Though we very freely adm: that W
advocated those appointments on the occasion
on wrong view OF the subJcct,) than they III,
to appoint Presidential Electors. But 1t is
little amusing, to say the least, that the Regis

g led to do specified duty, without "a responsible
