Primary Meetings.

The Primary Meetings. 10 be held on
Saturday next promise to be well attend.
cd. The canvass for nominations has
been sufficiently long; and whatever the
choice Of the people may be, we presume
that The unlucky ones will eheerfully ac'
quiesee, wheel into line, and give The tick
ct their hearty and sctive support. Such
a course is not only in itself cOmmeudable
in the highest degree; but it is one ofIhs
very safest as well as the sHrest passport
TO popular favor in the future. 1t is very
certain too, that all who are named for of-
fees, will not at this time be successful;
yet i is equally certain, that among the
respectable list Of candidates, there are
Others, whose luck will be better next
time and who will in the course Of events
be taken from the arena, and made, in part,
the standard bearers for the party. This
at least, is our wish, For The two candi
dates which Carroll county bas presented
for District officers, we need scarcely say,
that we hope to see the county united in
in their behalf. To endorse them cheer.
fully aue heartily aud unitedly at home,
would be the strongest argument that
could be used in their favor, abroad. Let
US then, present united front, for both OI
the District Candidates, and when this Is
done, the Republicans of the county can
do but little more.

The Convention.


On Monday next, in accordance with
the call Of the Central Committee, the
Delegates selected on tie preceding satur.
day, will assemble at the Court House, Il
court the vote cast for the several can IL
dates for County offices. In addition Ia
this duty, there are others which will
rightfully devolvs upon the Convention
and which should not be neglected or for,
gotten. in the hurry or anxiety to lay
the result of the primary meetings be
fore the public. First, Central Com
mittee, will necessarily have to be appoint
cd for tho ensuing year. This Committee
in our opinion, should be composed Of
the most discreet, and active men in the
ranks. With the interests OF the Republi.
can party in view "a readiness to expend time
aud talent in its advancement, and With a
zeal aud energy in behalf Of its candidate,
that knows no firing, a Central Commit
tee can, and should, accomplish a yasl
amount Of labor Such an one we
hOpe:to see selected by the Delegates who
may attend the convention on Monday
next. Second. 1t might not be out o.
place for the Convention, IN its Delegate
capacity, to express an opinion, as to the
expediency or inexpediency of adopting fol
the future, the popular vote system, o.
nominating candidates as agreed upon thi
year; and if thought the most satisfactory
whether the primary meetings should b,
held at. the "usual places of holding elec
tions," or whether other, or sdditiona
places should be selected. This subject
the present year. has occasioned some liz
lie misunderstanding yet it is to be hoped
that the misunderstanding will be attribu.
ted solely, to the newness Of the plar
adopted, and TO the diversity of the senti
ment Of the people. Some were in fa'
vor Of fbut one primary meeting in each
township; while others were in favor o
three. Uniformity, in this particular,
will therefore be highly essential.
