PARTY Nominations.

A mistaken opinion is entertained by
many persons OF all parties, in relation to
the obligation they are under TO sustain
the nominees Of their respective organi
cations. whether competent or otherwise
to discharge the duties Of the Offices for
which they are named. This is an error
of the greatest magnitude, and frequently
results in the most pernicious conse-
quences. Party combin ations were orig
inally designed to carry into effect certain
principles, through the instrum eniality Of
intelligent. honest and respectable agents.
When conventions, or any other kind OF
machinery fairly chosen under a party
name, present TO the. members of such
party nominees for Office who are up to
the proper standard in character and
qualifications, it is but just ih at they should
receive the full strength Of their respective
organizations at the ballot box. But no
man Is required either by morals or party
fealty. to vote for an ignorant. disrepu,a-
BILE or dishonest aspirant. Governments
are Instituted for the peace. prosperity
and heppiness of the whole people who
may live under their jurisdiction. and
when they cease to have that effect. it is
the right inherent in man to change the
government. or the persons by whom 1t is
administered. Political parties possess
the same privileges, as their actions are
to control every department of State with
in the limits OF the Constitution. If bad
men are nominated, it is destructive OF
the very ends for which governments are
formed. Should citizen be required to
vote for candidate to administer public
affairs, with whom he would not trust an
article Of the smallest value, or permi. a
m member OF his family 10 associate. through
the certainty Of moral injury? We think
not. and there is both justice and safety in
our opinion. When authority is delega.
ted 10 conventions to form a ticket. it ia
expected that men Of character and abil-
ity will be selected. This is everywhere
understood In fact, il is the main reason
for enirasting such agents with the power
10 make the party nomin ations, and when
they fail to perform the duties assigned
them for the good OF the party (Which. ol
course. is always believed to be for the
advantage Of majority Of the whole peo.
ple.) the principals--that is. those who
slowed upon them the authority to ac'
as agents-are not bound by their 40.
tions. They have exceeded the power
given them bv their principals the people
of their own party-snd stand in the same
position as all other agents who have
abused the power with which they were
entrusted. Their acts are a nullity in
both law and morals.-Pennsylranian.

Outrage offered to Mr.. Wise.

The Usion, in noticing the reception
recently given to MIR. Wise in Washing.
ton city. says:
MIR. Wise spoke from the door OF his
son law, DR.. Garnett. in Ninth street.
and in the presence not only of great
crowd Of citizens. but in the hearing OF la.
dies and members of his family. This fact,
which would have restrained even the most
dissolute characters in other days, did not
prevent gang Of ruffians from making a
number Of attempts to insult the dis,in.
guished speaker, and 10 break up the
meeting. twas easy to see that the &C.
tors in this shameless business had been
sent upon the grounds TO disgrace them.
selves, and if possible, to silence Mr.. Wise.
They resorted TO every conceivable exPe.
dient to fulfill their instructions. but TO 10
effect. Mr.. Wise rebuked them with much
dignity, and. after shouting end groaning &
themselves hoarse, they fed, like guilty
spirits. to their midnights haunts. Such is
the tactics Of the party tha, assumes to re-
form the religion and morals Of men.
"A more graceless set Of r0wdies never

Consumption Of Iron at sebastopol.


II the Russian war shall have the effect
to diminish the manufacture OF the rail-
way iron in England, it seems likely TO
create demand for iron in the shape Of
cannon balls and shells, quite equal to,
it not exceeding, the diminulion in
the amount required for railroads. By the
last steamers news we learn that the al
lies have five hundred guns playing on
Sebastopol. firing one hundred and twen-
ty rounds daily. We calculate that fifty
OF these shots and shells will weigh one
ton. At every round fired. there will be
of courss ten tons. and each day twelve
hundred tons weigh, oi cannon balls and
shells thrown into Sebaslopol. The BON.
bardmen, at the latest dates had Tasted
twelve days, and of course there had been
thrown into the town, in that time. four
teen thousand tons Of iron. 1t is proba-
BILE that the Russians may have hurled
back at the allies nearly the same weight
Of metal; and it is safe to compute the
total consumption of iron in the siege oI
Sebas,opol Tor these twelve days at TWEEN
ty FIVE thousand tons. This iron, thus
thrown away and wasted in war in the
brief period Of twelve days. would furnish
the metal required 10 construct about
200 miles of railroad.
