DELEGATE ELECTIONS.

Saturday hext is the day appointed by the
County Committee for the election of Dele
gates to the Convention to be held at this place
on Monday evening, September 5th. We trust
that the Vigilance Committees have faithfully
performed their duties, by giving ample notice
of the time and place of holding such meetings,
that the Republican electors may all be cogni.
zant of the location and hour of the caucus
1t has been our duty and our privilege, for
many consecutive years, to call the attention
of the electors tothese meetings and urge the
Importance of not negecting the primary move
ments. We hear occasionally complaints as to
the working of the machinery by which nomi-
nations are made, but all the abuses 10 which
it is liable might be remeded, if the voters
would take the matter in hand. 4 delegate
election is intended to ascertain the wishes of
the people, and appoint proper persons to rep
resent the feelings of the electors of each dis
trict. 1t the masses will leave the primary
meetings to be attended by few men, they
should not complain if few men control and
mould the action of the district. The remedy
is simple and easy. The popular will can be
/ clearly and unmis.akably ascertained and eX-
pressed by turnout of the people at the pri-
mary meetings II this is done, and care is
taken to elect good men, who will not be bias
ed by personal preferences, but controlled by
desire to promote the welfare of the party.
the evils complained of will cease to exist.
In the selection Of Delegates something more
should be looked to than the interests of any
particular candidate There are are higher
and nobler duties for the Republican party to
perform, than putting this man or that man in
Office We trust that the time will never come
when the party objects will degenerate into a
mere scramble for place Of all things, let the
/ Republicans frown down the assumption that
the party, or any portion Of it, however small,
any particular interest. That candidates
should multiply is inevitable The County
offices are desirable, and nominations equiv
aleut to an election. So much the more dan
ger that candidates in their extreme anxiety
should be liable to overs:ep the bounds Of pru-
dence, and bring into our organization abuses
which should he persistentIy and promptly dis.
countenanced. 1t Is difficult to lay down rules
for the government Of either candidates, or
electors, but there is no difficulty in the latter
rebukiug whatever tends to demoraze the
party. Our greatest danger is, from corrupt
ing influences and this danger may be kept
in check if the voters will attend the delegate
elections Attending these meetings, let them
not be entirely swayed by their personal pre-
! ferences, but select men 10 represent them who
will take broad and liberal views, and look to
the integrity of our organization, and the tri-
umph Of principles instead of men,

THE INTELLIGENCER.

How TO TELL. A TRUE LADY.-Somc twenty
years ago, certain philanthropists discovered a
certain kind of cheap soup-so cheap that il
would obyiate starvation altogether. By 6oiEias,
doDH boHes the refuse bones Of the heaps OF
ottal thrown out from large cities, they could
make stop, which would at least satisfy hung
er. They tried it. And after ten or fifteen years,
It was discovered, that, as bones contain not
one atom OF nutrative matter, the bone Shoppers
wasted and died, as before, of exhaustion from
want of food.
The fashionable balls given in Paris resemble
the bone-slop. There is musio to dance by
but, how to dance? A thousand persons are
crowded into apartments which have only room
for two hundred-the ladies' have their shoul-
ders scratched, their laces torn, their dresses
displaced and ordered-nnbecoming heat aud

But, all this does not hinder, prevent, lessen,
or otherwise modify, the ruinous extravaganza
with which ladies dress for these parties No
fashionable dame dare show herself unless her
dress has cost thousand francs and her lace
and jewels ten thousand, at least.
And-here's the rubI Slch is the ingenuity
of modern industry that there is no servant girl
or woman Of vulgar notoriety who cannot dress
herself Nth fatse laces and jetoels, quite as
showily and elegantly as the most extravagant
lady. What is more needed now than ever, is,
that the truc lady should make herself SO dis.

can be no mistake in her immediate recognition
The free-mason-ry of bon toH-the chaste and
refined ease and gayety, the noble and simple

lutte necessity.
But, go to any of the Partisan theatres, and
who can distinguish lady from grizette

cavalier manners, the same intiexions of voice,
often the same kind of language, and the same
