may be selected. There is no time to lose.

Macao, Jan. 1857 All foreign business

trade, have been consumed. OF the total
destruction of the foreign factories, you will
have heard by my last letter. The Chinese

October last; but az the latter has been
kept up with mere or less pertinacity to

Admiral retired with his forces from before

do not over estimate the loss in life, when
they state it at 90,o00 Of all ages and sexes

Mr. Editor, - It is sometimes pleasant.
and sometimes it is equally instructive for
US to reflect upon the past. Now, sir, it
does seem to me. if some of our Highland
correspondents would reflect awhile, they
would not be so much disposed to complain
at every thing that is done Justice would
never have written the article that appeared
in the Vindicator, dated March 18th; nor
would the article signed jackson Democrat
in your issue of April 18th, ever have appear
ed but some men have great propensity
for complaining, 30 it is with these two cor
respondents; every thing seems to 20 wrong
with them; but they fail, entirely, to tell
us what is going wrong | suppose, as
they arc opposed to conventions. they would
have the people vote entirely for men Of
their choosing. Grant them the privilege
of selecting suitable candidates 10 Gil the
Offices, and they would soon arrogatc TO
themselves the right to elect, and then they
would say to the people, we must be declar-
ed magister moran, or dictator But, az
we can get along as well without as with
either of the above correspondents. they
may scribble as much as they please, we
will have our convention, nominate our can
didatc, and on the fourth Thursday in May
next will drop you a line to let you know
what majority he is elected by.
Now, one moro word, Mr.. Editor, and I
am done, and it IS this. in 1861, November
Court, we held a convention, but failed to
make a nomination. The very men that
opposed the making Of nomination are
With the opposition now. The candidate
that opposed Col. Byrd, in 1858, voted the
X. n ticket in 1855; and ! should not be
surprised to find the above gentleman voting
very soon against the democracy. Now, sir,
