We have been approached several times
by gentlemen to enquire by what authority,
and by whom it Twas settled at Richmond,
where the Convention for the 18th District
was to be held, and which gentlemen were
to represent the District in the Charleston
Convention. We were in the District mee-
ting. for recommending the several electors
for the District to the Convention, but heard
nothing said upon the subject Of the Char
lesion Convention. We suppose it is an
entire mistake then, that the delegates to
State Convention with specific powers,
would presume to dictate to the District
Convention, the delegates it should send to
the National Convention. The ancient u
sage of the party, dictated Harrisonburg as
the place for holding the Convention. and no
one felt inclined to object to it, but the op-
position to even the appearance Of caucus
dictation in this District, is recent enough
we hope to deter politicians from such an
outrage, as that of attempting to forstal the
decision and usurp the legitimate functions
Of the District Convention.

Mr.. Stewards Speech

Mr. Seward, the grand Mogul of the
Black Republican party, after having main
tanned profound silence during the whole
session Of Congress, up to short time age,
has at last broken ground and made a
lengthy and carefully prepared Speech
upon which we suppose he intends to go into
the Chicago Convention. This last Speech
of the leader of the Black Republicans, is
an exceedingly able and ingenious back
down from all the propositions which he
has been life time in propounding. He
completely ignores the ''irrepressible con-
hict," and declares the object of the Repub-
lican party to be, to con6ne Slavery to its
present bounda y mot to abolish it in the ter
ritory where it now exists. He then pitch
es into the Democracy generally, and the
Abolition of the Missouri Compromise par
ticularly; delivers himself of labored stereo-
typed peroration on the Union, and sits
down.
He was followed by Judge Douglas, who
takes up the only substantial part of his
Speech, the attack on the Kansas Nebraska
bill, and proves that the Democratic party
and the South, were not tie first to violate
the Missouri Compact, but, that the Repub-
licans or what were Republicans under an
other name, by refusing to carry it out in
good faith, to the Pacific Ocean, rendered it
null and void. Although the greater part
of the Democracy of the Union, may ear
nestly oppose Mr.. Douglas on his territorial
policy, yet for his many able efforts in de-
fence Of Democratic principles, he merits
and receives the respect and gratitude Of all
true Democrats. We regret much, that We
are unable to publish his last Speech in an
swer to Seward.

Mr.. Sumner Quotes Macauly.


That noble martyr. Sumner. after having
maintained profound silence for several
years, concluding, we suppose. that the rep
utation communicated by the cane Of Mr..
Brooks is becoming somewhat threadbare,
has at last essayed to edify the Senate with
his eloquence, and it is to be surmised that
he will continue to do SO until SEINE imper-
tinence on his part induces another South
ern gentleman to administer merited chas-
tisement to his scarrifed back, and afford
him an opportunity to relapse into the mar
tyrea condition which has proven SO pro6ta-
bic to him in the past.
The last emanation from the distinguish
ed invalid is based upon sophomore essay
of Macaulay, on the benefits of the West
India emancipation scheme, written some
forty years ago, and which, in all human
probability. would have remained in the
obscurity to which charitable world had
consigned it, had not the energetic research
es of the iliustrious convalescent dragged it
from amid the accumulated dust Of half
century into the light of dsy. We are sure
that the matured judgement and strong
practical sense of Macaulay, accessible to
the teachings of experience. would have re-
futed the silly speculations and illogical rea-
soning of this wild theory Of his boyish fan
cy; but whether this essay Of Macauly's en-
bodies his deliberate opinion or not, is of
little consequence to us or the American
people. What must strike every one with
wonder is the stolid stupidity or brazen i'm
pudence< of Senator Sumner, who gravely,
in the face Of all the stubborn facts which
fatty contradict the speculations of this
boyish effusion, parades it before the
Senate of tho United States, hoping to
impose it upon that august body as rea-
son why the institution of slavery should be
abolished. The opinions of great minds
upon any subject are entitled to their due
weight, but when those opinions, tested by
the light of experience, are proven to be
not only erroneous. but silly and pernicious,
the only legitimate use to which the world
can put them, is to remind men that human
reason, however acute, and human foresight
however sagacious,i is still fallible and mourn
fully liable to err.
One would have thought that emancipa-
ton in the West Indies, which has entailed
upon those fertile islands desolation and
decay-upon its wealthy proprietors ruin
and starvation, in lieu Of plenty and happl-
ness and luxury, and upon the negroes
themselves barbarism and heathenism, in
the place of civilization and the GOSPEL
would have boon one of the last subjects
upon which an abolitionist would have es-
sayed to enlighten his audience.

Was the Failure to Express q
Preference Caused by the
Weakness of Gov. Wise

This Is a question which would hardly
have suggested itself to US, or to any one
who had attended the Richmond Convea-
ton, were it not for the ungenerous and nm
grateful course of some of the opponents Of
Gov. Wise since the adjournment Of that
body, who, taking advantage of the COM
promise offered, in the magnanimity OF con-
scious power, by the friends of that gentle
man to his opponents, now endeavor, BY
4nuendo and disingenuous statement aud
suppression of facts, to insinuate the idea
that that which was freely conceded to a
somewhat obstreporous minority. by patri-
OTIS, for the sake of the organisation and lar
mony of the Democratic party, was wrung,
per force, from unwilling and struggling
impotence. Although We voted against the
substitute to Gen. Chapman resolution de-
claring preference for Gov Wise. still we
were one of those who grayely dcubsod the
policy ofthe introduction Of resolution ex-
pressing preference into the Convention
chiefly because we knew that many, very
many, Of MIR. Wise's most ardent supporters
would not and did not act with the body Of
his friends on this point, thus creating
throughout the country an erroneous inn-
preston Of the weakness of what we were
convinced was Virginia's decided favorite'
We were, then, heartily glad when COM
promise proposition emanated from the
friends Of Gov. Wise, and was eagerly ac-
cepted by the friends of Mr.. Hunter; and
when we returned home, we determined to
write nothing which might disturb the har-
mony in the ranks which the compromise in
the Convention seemed to have effected but
we cannot, in duty, remain silent. when
such wrong impressions are being created
in the country; we cannot, in justice to Mr..
Wise, fail to enter our protest to the idea
that the failure to express preference was
in any way attributable to his weakness in
the Convention.
We suppose that not less than fifty Of Mr.
Hunters friends expressed the opinion in
our presence that Mr.. Wise was the un-
doubted choice Of Virginia, but argued a.
gainst the expression Of preference on the
ground that it was in violation Of the an
cient usages of the Democratic party and
also that it was contrary to the interests
of Gov. Wise, because he could not carry
more than tsco-Miras Of his strength on that
question.
