districts, and 10 make fl and respectable
nominations for each of these places. The
Senatorial and Representative districts ore

The .Loco-foeos.n Every county cannot be
graiified, ,.nor can every 'teredt" man in aEy
county. There must be magnanimons con-
cessior for the success of The cause, and men
or counties who will moi act in this spirit
bave no right in The nominating conventions.
The fitness OF the candidate ought always
10 be The first consideration; for all the lroub'
les apd difficulties which have hereto'ofe
checked the success of Democracy arose from
entruslin9 place and power 10 incompetent
men. These msled and delnded honest
men, and brough, heavy reflections against
the consistency Of the party. 1t required
then thorough aud long discussion TO correct
erroneous views, and in the meanwhile often
came disaeter aud defeat. II was so when
the "tariG'' mania led away men who are
wonderfully wise-in their own estimation
The Taylor deusion followed and caught

and such others as did not like the inconsls

Of our State Legislature, and had never been
discussed They had not studied the OLD
Federal heresies so as 10 detect one in this
modern disguise. Even the member from
this county voted for it, aud from thencetotth

represented this county has since gone
through Know -Nnlhngism into the arms OF
the Opposition and Governor Pollock.
