The TwO-Tllirds Rule,

The two-thirds rule in Democratic National
Conventions for the nomination of candidates
for President and Vice President, says the
!Nssissippian, was adopted at Baltimore, in
1882, when Andrew Jackson was re-nominated
for President, and Martin Van Buren, was des-
lgnatcd Vice President. That was the first
Democratic National Convention ever held,
The Democratic members of the Legislature of
New Hampshire made the suggestion that led
TO the Convention. Their argument was to let
the Districts and States that did not have Dem
ocratic members of Congress, but still had a
large Democratic popular vote, have voice in
the selection Of candidates. Under the old
system of Congressional caucuses, they were
excluded. We now hear partizans declaim
against the very idea that led to the organiza-
ton Of National Conventions
The two-thirds rule was reported, in 1882
from committee of which the late Vice Pre-
sldent King, of Alabama, was Chairman. An
attempt was made TO substitute the majority
principle, but it was voted down. In 1885, the
second National Convention was held in Balti-
more The two-thirds rule was adopted after
long discussion. The majority principle at first
carried, but was finally stricken out In 1910
no action was taken on the two-thirds rule, at
the third National Convention, as Mr.. Van
Buren was re-nominated for President by ac-
clamation. In 1874, at the fourth National
Convention, the two-thirds rule was adopted by
close vote, after long discussion. At the
National Conventions since held it has been
adopted without opposition. 1t has now be-
come an indispensable party usage, essential to
the protection of the minority, and its repeal
under existing circumstances will be so palpable
a manifestation of purpose on the part of the
majority to trample upon the rights of the
minority, as to lead to a disruption OF the Con.
vention.

The RAnRoAp.-The contractors have laid
nearly one mile of the track and are progress
ing slowly. They are still in want of trucks
and cars, and are compelled to use horse-car
which cannot supply the hands with material

propelled by the locomotive will be used from

The Hon. John SlideIl.

We see this gentleman's name very promi
nently mentioned in connection with that Of
the Presidency. Our late State Convention
done Mr.. slidell the honor to express itself in
his favor, as their choice at the Charleston Con.
vention; yet left it free TO their delegates tc
exercise their own choice. This is nothing
more than what Mr.. Slidell deserved at The
hands of his friends. Indeed, all those who
know him, and judge the man by his political
status, cannot but agree that this compliment
was we'll mcrited. Those of Mr.. Slidell's bit.
terest enemies, who are prejudiced against him
beyond oil reason of acknowledging the truth
it ever so plain, cannot deny but that he has
all the qualities ola Statesman and Patriot
Yet, there are n miserable set of lemagocues
and political rcnegadcs who arc continually
harping against him. Ever since VIC first began
to note the current of the political tide, we
have noticed these itinerant sang-froid harpies
following after his heels in order to gain dis
tnction by bringing themselves in opposition
to him.
All the fag-cnds of politics-thc fragments
and scraps that have been thrown aside as rub
bish--of such material are the body polite
composed of which preach their crusade of bell
gcrant abuse against man whom they dare
not think Of ever initiating.
Many charges have been brought against
Mr.. Slldell, impugning his character as traudu-
lent-in relation to the Houmas Land Claim,
These base charges have all proved to be utter
ly groundlcss, and not containing the least par
ticle of truth; and it is time these political
harpies were changing their tune. There is no
truth in these blightning calumnies, and those
who are SO forward in circulating them, know
the utter fallacy to which their charges are
consigned.
Mr. Slidell has clearly shown to the world
the lack of truth in the charges against him in
reference TO the Houmas affair. To all men
who earnestly seek after the truth, he has
shown an unimpeachable character Yet, his
political enemies will not acknowledge this, for
they are barred against truth and Justice
