II win be seen 10y reference 10 the terms
of the call for Couaiy Convention, that
way is opened for proper adjustment of the
divisions that have heretofore existed in this
County, among those who are opposed to the
present national administration. The IS
paved for complete aud cordial union upon
the only issue that now presents itself for our
consideration. The old partizan names thai,
have distinguished and divided Us are ol,so-
leie a. iie parties to which they were applied.
common basis is provided upon which all
should now meet without any reference to
antecelcnts, names, or positions.
The form adopted in the calling of this first
Convention upon the new basis presented is
appropriate. Il is called as a Mass Conyeu-
ton, and the Free.ncn Of the County, all of
them, are invited to be present. Il Is for
them To decide in their individual, sovereign
capacity, what course shall be pursued and
who shall receive their support for the sever
al offices GO be filled 90 the ensuing election
lu tAe selection of candidates wc have o. hr1ad
field and the largest liberty before US. We
mean no disparagemcut TO the many worthy
men in this county who have heretofore been
honorcd by the people, or TO that other class
who are asprants for similar distinctions,
when we say that, in our judgment, the
Convention about to assemble can recognize
no claims founded upon any supposed servi-
ces rendered by any individual TO any of the
various subdivisions Of the now united anti
administration party. This convention has
the privilege of commencing anew, and of Sc
lecting such candidates they shall deem
best fitted to discharge the duties of the offices
to which they may be respectively designa-
ted, AMI such as will best concentrate the
vote of the County.
We trust the Convention will he fully at
tended, that The farmers will be there from
the bill sides and the valleys, the mechanics
from their workshops, the merchants and pro-
fessional men from their counters and their
offices, and that we shall witness gathering
worthy the cause in which we are engaged.
All are invited, and if any portion of our cit
liens do not chose to attend, that number alb
sent, cannot with any sort of grace complain
if the action ofthe Convention does NOT meet
their peculiar views. Let us have rousng
meeting.

WAsHrSoToS MATTERS The Washinzsoa
correspondent Of the N. Y Courier, has the
following item
THE printing Of large number Of The re-
port and evidence 10 the Kansas investigation,
produces great feeling on the Southern side Of
The House. One Of the gentlemen on that side,
Mr. Carlisle, of Va, took up the book, COM
Prising 1900 pages, and, presenting it to the
House, declared that the Southern members
would not send ii among their constituents
This is entirely probable. Indeed no honora-
bic Southern man can be willing to circulate
the proofs Of such atrocious outraees, as arc
shown by this report to have been committed
by their allies and ia their cause. We have
not had since the Greek instruction in 1921,
any civil war within the pale of Chrstendom'
characterized by such cruel and unmanly ex'
cesses as this war Of the Shareholders upon the
frontiers Of Kansas. The Turks were not
merciless compared with their Border Ruiian
ilnilaiors."

KENTUCKY OPINION or Books. MIR
Brooks, however, objects, it seems, to travel
ling through New Jersey and New York to
get To Canada. He thinks he would have to
run The gauntlet Of mobs and assassins. He is
afraid! Yes, the grim fre-eater, who boasts
that with one blow he could inagurate revolu-
tons, and destroy the Union is afraid to travel
through New Jersey and New York. We
rather wonder that he does not found his OBJ
lection upon the insecurity Of The railroads, for
we really think there would be more chances Of
his losing his life by railroad accident .han

UNCONSTITUTIONAL coryENrIoN

At the Presidential election in November
the Freemen Of this State will be called upon
in the several counties to elect members of
the Constitutional Convention that is to as
semble next January. The delegates from
each county are TO be chosen on general
ticket, instead of being elected by towns after
the manner of Representatives as heretofore
We regret TO sec that the Democratic Coun-
ty Committee for this County, should have in
cluded in their call for County Convention
the matter of nominating ticket of delegates
to be supported by the voters of this County
at the November election. II matters not
with us that il is proposed to nominate tick.
ct opposed to the amendments submitted BY
the Council Of Censors. We are sorry to see
n matter Of so much moment and one that ef.
fects alike every individual in the State, drag
ged into the arena of party politics for the
purpose of making political capital, or for any
purpose whatever. The friends and the OPP
ponents Of the proposed amendments may be
found in each Of the parties into which the
County is politically divided aud il would
be more seemly, and we believe more pru-
dent and just, to have special Conventions
hereafter called for the purpose of nominating
such ticket, or tickets, as may be deemed
expedient with reference to the Constitution
