A Timely Suggestion.


The time for the assembling of the Virginia De-
mocracy in State Convention for the nomination of
Gub,rnatorial ticket is near at hand We embrace
TINS last opportunity, perhaps, that shall have to
make timely suggestion TO the delegates in tina,
convention on subject we feel sure the Democracy
oil Virginia will take deep interest; and in which
we learn their brethren Of the whole Union NANTES,
most earnest solcitude. 1t is in regard to the pas
sage OF resolution by the Virginia Democratic State
convention endorsing the Administration of General
Pierce.
There are various, most weighty, reasons why the
virginia Democracy should take occasion i, the
Staunton Convention to say something about the
brigadcrs Administration In the first place the
Democracy in several OF their county meetings held
for the appointment Of delegates to the State Coneen
tion have taken especial pains to tack on resolution
to their proceedings expressing the opinion they
entertain with reference to the Administration In
doing 80 they evidently contemplated that the merits
Of the Administration would come up before the State
Convention, for consideration and they have, very
thoughtfuly indeed instructed their delegates on this
question, and thereby authorized them to set forth
their sentiments. SO far then as the voice Of In,
Democracy in respectable number Of counties has
been made known, through their primary meetings
IT is decidedly in favor Of giving the Administration
tue beneht OF resolution pro or con. This sugg es-
lion the great State Convention will certainly not C
to attend to promptly and must unhesita,ingly. IL
is expected Of them, and should they neglect to graf,
fy the public expectation great will be the disap
pointment!
On that account alone we might consider il certain
that the Siaun;cn Convention will pass judgment up
on the present Administration, but then there mr.,
other reasons Of no less importance why the convcn
ton should do So The Virginia Democracy are hel,
responsible for putting Gen. Franklin Pierce at TN
head OF this Administration that they had ,nor,
to do in the &C, Of eecng the General to the Pres
dency than to cast the vote Of the State for him. bu
that they were the instruments Of making him th
nominee OF the Baltimore Convention Did not on
Of tie present editors OF the venerable organ of In
Democratic party Of this State dream the Brigade
out Of obscurity. and did one Of the Virginia dele
egates in this convention carry out the dream by
successful nomination OF Franklin Pierce, Of New
Hampshire, ior President. Now, that this sam
Franklin Pierce is President by the help Of such ct
hcient aid from the Democracy OF the Old Dominion
~ Il not encuu ont upon them by all means to give
his Administration endorsa after q trial u nearly
two years o. to give tho public satisfactory reason
for not dork so
