The Aouodsville convention vas an IN
provement on the ordinary run Of Con-
pressional conventions. Its tone was in
all respects yIsibIy above the average Of
such bodies. We Thick it was made mp of
q fair specimen of the substance, iptelli-
gepee, loyalty and principle of the district.
Exceptions could justly be taken, We have
no doubt, TO the manner in which some OF
the delegates were appointed. We are. for
instance, uaeonpromisingly opposed to the
procedure in Harrison whereby the COM
missioniug of representatives. was PIT in
one mans hands. But such defects have
been from days immemorial vice of all
conventions, and will only cease when the
plan of primary elections comes into gem
eral use. Take the MouudsVille conven-
ton as body aud We suppose that it un-
dsniably represented the choice Of the
people of the district in the selection of
Mr.. Blair. This we say in justice to Mr..
Blair, as we did not ourselves vote
for him in the convention. The lower
counties of the district, in fact pretty
much all the sentiment south of the
Panhandle, was more or less favorable to
Mr.. Blair. In addition 70 this he was
rather popular that otherwise in both Han
cock and Brooke, as was seen by the way
the delegates voted from those counties.-
Indeed there could be no serious objection
to Mr.. Blair by any part of the district be-
yond the fact that Parkersburg, the place
of his residence, had thus far monopolized
pretty much all the honors and emoIuments
of the State. SO far as Mr.. Blair, himself,
was concerned, the people everywhere gen.
orally recognized that he had made q good
representative-had been active in the
new State interest and true to the great
Union cause. He had perhaps, the best re-
cord of any member from Virginia in the
last Congress and on the stump,in this can
vass, he had given the people TO understand
that.he would improve upon it ifre-elect-
ed. Under all the circumstances. taking
into consideration the peculiar and trying
times under which Mr.. Blair had entered
Congress two years ago, and the popular
feeling was that he had done very we'll and
that he ought to have another chance to see
If he could not do better. We thought SO,
too, from the outset, aud We should have
been perfectly willing to see Mr.. B.
have clear field, although, as We said,
there were others whom We preferred when
it came to a question of preference.
Mr.. Blair is now the nominee. He is {
man for whom every good and true man ii
this district cannot only vote but work.
That he will be elected there is not thu
shadow of doubt.

our New FInanela1 system.
Yroa de Nsv Yolk InaspsDdsat.


The plan suggested by Secretary Chase.
and adopted By Congress, to give the eoun-
ny uniform currency, is 50 we'll under
stood that We need not nov refer 70 It IN
detail. Already numerous banks uuder
this Law, are being organized in every al
rectio6, aud very shortly We shall begin 70
appreciate their benefits. We have seen
drawings and proofsheets Of the new cur
rency, and are happy to say that a. sPe-
cimens Of artistic skill and beauty, We
never have seen them surpassed, d equAled.
We will mention few Of the reasons
why the people generally will demand the
prompt adoption Of the system of Secretary
Chase, and Why every locality OF much
Importance will soon have "Natlonal
Bank"
LIST 1t will give TO the people uniform
curreney-as it Is designed, in furnishing
banks, to have the bills Of each denOmina-
ton exactly alike.
I'd. The engraving and entire workman.
ship of the bills will be in the very high
est style of art, aud consequently the
business Of eounterfsiting viii be, Practi-
cally, eRded.
Sd. Every bill issued by every bank-n0
matter where located-Will command the
entire confidence Of the community from
one end Of the nation to the other, and pass
current at all times, without . question
4th. Zach bank will have, as basis for
its circulation aud as unquestionable
protection 70 the public, precisely the
same security-viz., Government stocks.
9th. The faith of the whole uation-not
of single state-Will be pledged for the
redemption of such q circulation and
therefore it would be preferred and sought
after in all business circles.
9th. Sneh currency would be used as
medium of exchange from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, aud would save the eOuu-
try millions of dollars annually now paid
TO brokers aud shayers.
Ith. No Jealousy or opposition would or
could exist between the banks, IN time Of
panic, on account of their relative solveu-
cy or safety. A small institution in Kan
sss would hold up its head as high as the
proudest corporation in the city of New
York. aa
9Th. One of the strongest arguments in
favor of the National Banking system, is
the great strength it will give to the Gov
eminent, by creating in all quarters, city
and country, demand for ULited States
Notwithstanding a permanent mar
ket for at least two or three hundred mil
lions.
9th. All these National Banks, when es.
tablished, may safely be used as Govern
ment repositories under the Internal Rev
enue law; and also, where there is no Sub.
Treasury, for the safe keeping Of custom
house receipts, postage money, etc.
