paper candidate for the Convention.
Always ready, if possible, to answer any call
that may be made upon me, regret exceedingly
that circumstances imperatively prevent my ac=

be impossible for me to leave home at this time and
attend the sittings of the Convention.
Thankful to those friends who have regarded m4R
as worthy Of seat in Convention, upon whose

THE STATE CONVENTION.
Election on Tuesday, the 9Th Of February.

MR.. EDITOR: 1t is important, in selecting
Delegates from this County to represent us in
State Convention, that the names of such mer
should be presented to She Voters of the County
rs to fully represent the various wishes and in
terests of those who are called upon to cast thei,
votes. 1t is also important that they should be
sound, practical. experienced, and well-judgine
men and that they should have the interest OF
their county, their State and their country at
heart. 1t is thought no better or stronger ticket
coald be proposed than one containing the names
Of Messrs JOHN HAMILTON,
THOMAS A. MILLAR, and
GEORGE ?. JENKINS.
1t is we'll known that these gentlemen can be
trusted as honest, upright and just that they
are duly impressed with the Importance and
necessity of the South having it's rights, and are
true to the Constitution and the Union
1t is earnestly hoped they will allow their
names to be used, and consent to obge and
serve their fellow-countymen delegates to

county, owing to the commission of G. w.

while the bond of Mr. Wheeler was on file in

some anxiety in the matter, lest it should injure
that gentleman. Of this, however, there is no

HH The press, except, of course, the Adolf
ton press is rejoicing in Rhode Islands restora-
ton of herselfto 'the Constitution and the laws,
in taking off her statute books the unconstitu-
tional personal liberty bill, excitement and pas

follow her example, instruct their Congressman
to forego coercion give hearty support to the
measures likely to do justice to the constitutions
al rights of the South and they will soon find
out that "peace hath her victories no less re-

nT in the Sun, of Tuesday last, a CORES
pondent, signing himself "a Member of the
Convention" seems inclined to give the Times
punch, for publishing statement of the Coun-
ty Convention, which was calculated ''to do great
injustice to the unanimity which prevailed among
our people" We are not aware Of one single
word in our editorial referred to, calculated to
do such injustice. The Sun, it is true, did not
copy the editorial fully, which, had it done, would
have perhaps been clearer to "a Member of the
Convention" Our report speaks for itself and
istact. AS to the great "unanimity" alluded
to, we confess we do not understand it, Per-
haps that accounts for the very small vote cast.
The Convention, after the big split, was unit,
and if we have rightly construed the resolutions
passed, there was no reasonable ground for any
dissension, unless it had been on the part of
ultrasts. We endorsed the resolutions, and 50
we said in our editorial referred to.

President, Senators Douglas and Seward, and
Gen. Scott. In the course of his conversation
with them, Senator Seward said chat the ques-

sideration. We are to save the Union, and then
we will save all the rest that is worth saving.

therefore an act Of the Convention is of no i'm
port until referred back to the people and en-
dorsed by their sovereign cote. Should the ques-
ton of Maryland's position come up, this Con-
vention will have precisely the same authority
to declare it as we have. Their power and our
power in this matter are equal, save in numbers.
The question then comes back to the people,
and at the ballot-box they make a sovereign
decision from which there is no appeal. A
decision based upon popular sentiment, which,
not all the machinery of tricking politicians,
when brought to bear, can move from its firm
base. Politicians may deceive and misead the
people for time, but when once they arouse
in their might, the people are truly sorereign
The voice Of the people is mighty, and though
it may be curbed and subdued for time, will
eventually speak for itself from Maine to Flori-
da, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and not
alone in Maryland. If then, the voice Of the
people is so mighty, if it is really sovereign, as
set forth, under all circumstances, how much
more potent that voice when proclaimed in &C
cordance with existing and established govern
ment and rule? This indeed we opine is one of
fhe reasons why professional politicians and de-
signers are SO fearful of trusting to the voice of
the whole people Of the nation in the adjust
ment Of our national difficulties and the pcrpet-
uation Of the IDirn. Coul,i the people of this
country, both, North and South, both Fast and
