Election OF Governor.

The letters OF Mr.. Nicholas quite applicable to
q popular election Of Governor as Of President. The
p,iUcipe involved Is the In both Il Only
ders in the extent OF the mischief the embraces
a wider field than the other. The tendency in both
cases ia to array the people into opposing parties and
iuh,me and embter party contention. This Is the evil
to be deprecated and removed possible. Good citizens
quiet and indusr people, who seeko make living by
honest labor have nteres: n such state Of things
They desire few good laws and few homes. officers
faithfully to administer them. Any system which
gendsr factions and parties is furious to the vrtuous
and industrious portion of the community Mercenary
politicians and demagogues who fomcnt party dscord
are they only who reap the profit We some few Of
the people, and in this we believe speak the sen
ments of the great Of the Virginia people, are tired
OF being made the sport Of those honproducve and en-
terpisirg gentry They have lived long enough on the
public by rubbing the heads Of the people together to
make them fight like dogs The sport and the profit are
all on one side, the suffering and loss on the other.
We believe the LECTION of Governor by the people, If
not designed will have the effect OF keeping up this
profitable game aud iniusing fresh vitality into the breed
Of demAgogues and mercenercs, and quartering them
in psrttuo upon the public treasury. Nominations Of
very hotbeds of demlgogues-and then evOry neghbOr
hood and consabes beat 10 the Tate must be canvased
and p,rty-arrayed the ratification Of tho edic
This Ia the system it entails upon The people are
merely used counters in the game Of profgacy and
ambition.
Ca behalf Of the people Of Virginia, who are tired
and Disguised with this demoralzng scramble for the
spos beg the Convention, if it has not the backbone
itself to do the right bingto give the people oPpor
sunty to right themselves. Submit the question to them
whether they wish any longer to waste their time their
substance and their energies in these degrading contests
for the benefit OF political loafers and gamblers. Aud
as part aud parcel of the corrupiug system, let
them say whether they prefer paid, merceusry and
eectoneeriDg county mOgsracy, to one elevated above
the passions Of the day. dnerested and serving the
country for the love Of country.
If the people are not capable of approaching their
true INTEREST," theirs will be the fault But let them have
the opportunity of deciding for themselves. We have
faith in them aud willing to trust the issue in their
hands,

Since the recent publication OF this pan It's proposer
has been made aware that Il does not su GENTLY carry
with IL its own explanation, for OF the very
highest intelligence.
The noraiation By Classes out Of prescribsd Glasses
This Is indispensable to prevent any particular names
from being placed by party concert among the six out Of
whom the lot TO take tho two from whom the college Is
to elect the President 1.-THE selection Of the six
made In any mode from the entire college, they would be
the prominent avories Of the contending parties The
idea is to preclude all certainty Of any particular
being carried In among the six such precuson being in
dispensabe the whole scheme OF avoiding far pos
sble the influence Of party combinations and individual
ambition
3 Not permitting tie college to elect any of the
SIR. This could not be done because the majority par
y would be almost certain to have one, if two Of
the 4 who of course would be elected by that party
To prevent this the drawing Of the two by lot nterpcs
ed This gives some chance that neither OF the may be
Of the majority party and than equal chance that
both Of them will lot. This chauce OF minority sue
cess and this precuson OF all certainty Ia comforting
the Office on any one Of FIVE six party ayoHtes it ia
believed will take away much il not all inducement to
the formation keeping up Of parties having for their
rncps object the acquisition Of the Presidency.
8. Not taking he President by lot fran the uh0le
sir pithou. any confrmdory Vots Of the college. The
only objection 10 this is that it would be less likely to
receive popular sanction than the plan proposed There
is q pOssibi that Of the six might be incompetent
and the lot fall Oh him The chances that there ght
be two such and the lot fall both of them rl
tesnally small The true plan would be TO have only
four classes four electors put in nomination aud the
President dawa by 10. from the four. This would ei-
ectusly preclude party M ority in the college from
controlling the result Tnat would be an indisputably
ttc cious remedy. The only doubt as TO It's csim to
preference whether it would be equally acceptable 10
