Mr. EDITOR: see that the Executive Commit
tee" of this District has been summoned by its Char
man to meet at Franknton to select Democratic
Elector in the place of Mr.. Cameron Now, must
respectfully but earnestly protest against such
proceeding. The Committee has no right to make
such an appointment. 1t was created for no such
purpose. / will wager that not one in twenty of
the members of the Franklinton Convention ever
dreamed that the Committee would assume any such
responsibility or attempt to exercise high and I'M
portant function. The members of that Commit
tee were appointed by the primary meetings Of the
Democracy principally to select Elector for the
District and their appontee has refused to accept,
that duty is not get performed, and the idea that
the Convention is .functus otfcio, so long as that
duty is unperformed is ridiculous. There is no ne
cessty for hot haste about this matter There is
ample time to re-assemble the Convention, and if
the appointment is made by that body it will give
general satisfaction. Not so with the Executive
Committee" There are hundreds Of Democrats in
different parts of the District who deny Their power
to appoint. They dcprecatc such precedent. They
plainly see, and so must any man of common obser-
walton and experience, the handle which will be
made of it by the Opposition The appointment of
Elecor for this District is matter of the greatest
Importance lie will have hard work to do, and
work that will require no ordinary ability; and to
give the selection of this important officer to few
men instead of leaving it to that body which was
sen. directly from the Democratic people for that
express purpose, is establishing precedent and
Stunning authority which will not meet the approba-
ton of the party in the District. warn the Com
mittee in due time against such an error. Let the
Convention he called together to meet about the 10th
of June, and all will be right Again, insist the
Committee has such power-was appointed for
no such object. The CoNvESrIo-, THEN-rHE Con-
vENTION! CONSTITUENT.

THE SEQUEI,.

Our readers have all heard the story of
soaping the clergyman's tin horn at camp
meeting, so that when he went to call the
congregation together, he blew the soft
soap over his brother clergymen, and how
he exclaimed: -.
Brethren, I have served the Lord thirty
years, and in that time have never uttered
a profane word, but I'll be ID if can't
whip the man that soaped that horn ?
Our readers, we say, have all heard this,
but perhaps have never heard the sequel
as given to US yesterday by a gentleman
present.
Some two days after tall, swarthy, vii
lainous looking desperate strolled on the
grounds and leaned against tree, listen

which was being made by the preacher
After while he became interested, finally
affected, and then took position on the
anxious seat, commenced groaning in 'the
very bitterness of his sorrow. The clergy
man walked down and endeavored to con-
sole him. No consolation-he was too
great sinner, he said. Oh, no-there
was pardon for the vilest. No, he was too
wickcd-there was no mercy for him.

What have you by violence robbed fe'

Worse than that-oh, worse than that !
Murder, is it?' gasped the horrifed
preacher.
sWorse than that groaned the smitten
sinner.
The excited preacher commenced 'peel'
ing off his outer garments.
Here, brother Cole? shouted he, 'hold
