will be represented in that Convention will not
be satisfied to have their $4,000 or 10000 Re-
publican votes neutralized by delegates from
districts, say the ninth district in Egypt, Hi
nois where they cast but few, if any, over
1000 Republican and Opposition votes COM
bined, while in the third district in the same
State the straight Republican vote is nearly
25,O00 and without which we cannot carry the
State.
What Justice, ask, is there in giving the 9th
district, with its 1000 electors, the same power
in nominating Convention as the Sd district,
which has more than ten times the number of
Republican voters? That there will be dele
gates in the Republican Convention of 1860, as
there was in 1856, from States and districts
which cast but few, if any, Republican votes,
and which cannot give us an electoral vote, is
certain. And, az Republican, would be the
last one to object. On the contrary, / wish
and hope to see delegates from every State and
district in the Union. What l object to is,
that we violate fundamental principle when
ever we allow Congressional districts which
give us no votes, an equsl power in the Con-
vention with districts that do all the voting,
and elect the candidates, if they are elected
At Philadelphia, in 1856, the District of Co
lumbia, and almost every Territory, had by
some means delegates assuming to represent
them on the floor of the Convention, and voting
on every question. This, of course, will not be
attempted in the Convention of 1860; and if it
is, will not be submitted to, because neither the
District of Columbia nor the Territories can
give vote for the election of the candidates
thew aid in nominating, and ought not to have
a vote in such a. Convention, any more than
Territorial delegates in Congress.
For these reasons, the Republicans of the
Western States will insist on the principle of
representation being adopted. They will ask
it not only because it is right, but because they
believe it to be the only way in which the Re
publican organization cen with certainty be
preserved, and kept from lowering its standard
something which certainly cannot be done, if
we enter into a fusion with all the elements of
the opposition, North and South and nothing
is palmer, than that we cannot enter into such

WAsHINGroNN NEWS AND GOSSIP.

The PREsENTMENrs.-On Saturday, the
grand jury for this District and county, ad-
journed for two weeks, without indicting Messrs
Cullom, Seaman, and Duvall, whom they pre-
scented on the day before. In the case OF Mr.
Cullom, three previous grand juries had inves-
tigated the allegations against him, without
being able to find aught in the alleged testi-
mony eliminating him. Two select committees
of the House of Representatives have also duly
considered the same evidence, and the result
Of their Investigations was his exoneration from
the suspicion of dealing dishonesty with his
trust as Clerk of the House of Representatives
The action of the present grand jury in the
matter has, therefore, surprised all here except
those personally familiar with the pertinacity
with which he has been pursued by two or three
personal enemies, before the congressional COM
mittees and grand juries. He doubtless rejoices
that they have at last accomplished as much as
they have; in the belief that the result will be
public trial, in which he will be able to show
that malice towards himself, rather than just
regard for the public interest, is at the bottom
of the course of his accusers. But, unfortunately
for him, there exists no law, the provisions of
which make what they charge against him, if
proved, an offence punishable at law. On the
morning of the day the presentment was made,
he General Cullom) received dispatch noti-
flying him of the extreme illness of member of
his family. So, after going to Judge Crawford
and prOffering bail, he started Immediately for
Tennessee, to return to Washington as soon as
possible

though his coat fits him very accurately, he has
nothing Of the air Of perfectly dressed man. His
figure is not improved by the cuirass which his

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Union, treating Of the Clayton Bulwer
treaty, says that the dangerous controversy
which has so long existed between the two
Governments in regard to the true construc-
ton of this treaty is now in the process Of sat
isfactory adjustment; that the principles of
this adjustment have been finally settled be-
tween the parties, and that Sir Wm tore
Ouseley Is now in Central America to embody
these principles in the form of treaties with
Nicaragua and Honduras; that the sovereignty
over the Mosquito territory is to be surron-
dered by Great Britain to Nicaragua, on terms
which were satisfactory to the Senate of the
United States, when they had the Dallas Clar-
endon treaty before them and that the sover-
eighty of the Bay Islands is also to be surren-
dered to Honduras, to which they have ever
rightfully belonged-the American construc-
ton of the Treaty having thus substantially
prevailed.
The Union thinks that the many misfor-
tunes that arise from clerical interference in
politics, all spring from the mistake Of con-
founding the two spheres of statesman and
moralist, it being the province of one to say
what ought be, while the other can only de-
clare what can be.
The UHiO" expresses the opinion that in the
case of European conflict, what it calls the
subserviency of English statesmen to the wishes
ofNspOleOn would not want for popular indorse-
ment, but that the reaction would place in the
hands of the radicals a tremendous power,
which they would not be slow to use for uni
yersal suffrage, vote by ballot, and the separa-
ton Of Church and State.
he Int traa of al
lean affairs, agrees with the New York Jour
nal of Commerce, that there is nothing in
either the character Of the persons engaged in
current movements there, or in the manner in
which they are proceeding, to give us Ameri-
cans any cause for apprehension or jealousy
with reference to NJ. Belly or his companions
and that we have no reason to believe that
either the French or English Government is
officially represented by NJ. Belly and Mr..
Mahon, respectively

IHE CUBA QUEsrIoy.-Early in the year,
when Spain was represented as being extremely
indignant at the prospect that this Government
would make proposition for the purchase of
Cuba the opposition press supposed that in
dlgnation to be proof positive of the imprac.
ticability Of the scheme. The latest news from
Spain conveys the impression that her anger
has subsidized, and she has received our new
minister with great cordiality; but it seems
from the following from the New York Tribune
that this is only another proof of the impossi-
bility of buying Cuba. The Tribune says:
The cordial reception Of Mr.. Preston at Mad
nd disapPonts expectations here, and destroys
what little remained Of the prospects OF Mr. ST.
dell's Cuba scheme"
That this scheme is impracticable is certainly
most remarkable deduction, capable, it seems,
Of being drawn from whatever circumstances
that may exist.

pers arc now airing. As for NJ. Belly, his

Belly always has BEEN mere windy adyentu-
rers without the countenarce of any govern

belief is, that official information when re-
ceived, will disproye nine-tenths Of the buga-
boo stories concerning the state of affairs in
Nicaragua, including that of the transfer Of
the boats of the American Transit Company to
NJ. Belly. If not, it can hardly be that the
Government Of the United States will longer
refrain from compelling Martinez to respect
