Rutland on Wednesday Of next week, the
27th inst The Committee have issued the
call for Mass Convention. in accordance with
the recommendation Of the State Convention,
held at Mortified on the Sd day Of April
last, instead Of calling a Delegate Conycn-
ton, as directed by the State Convention at
Brattlcboro' last year. This action of the
Committee has caused some pretty sharp crit
icisms in some quarters, which are not with
out some slight show Of foundation. We
are decidedly Of tho opinion that all proimi-
nary Conventions should be Delegate Conycn-
tions--composod of men chosen by the re-
spcctivo towns for the express purpose of rep
resenting the interests of those towns in the
Convention. And were this carried out in
its lcttcr and spirit, we would see all mass
Conventions for nominating candidates for
Office done away with, and the far preferable
and moro democratic method of delegate Com
vcntions substituted instead And but for the
practice, too often resorted to. of delegate
Conventions, when met, throwing open the
doors and inviting all present who arc of the
same political preferences to participate in the
ac'oera'''ns OF the convention, we doubt II
'no people "o"'" sanction any other Than
delegate conventions such proceeding
throws the Convention into the hands Of To-
cal and interested parties. and often the will
OF the people ls thus thwattcd. In this case.
