sTHR Point Pleasant Register calls upor
the people of that, the Sd Congressional
district, to send full delegations to the
State Convention which meets at Grafton
on the first Wednesday in August next, &c
nominate candidates for State officers and
for Presidential electors, and takes occa-
sion to complain that none of the present
State officers are from that district. The
Register thinks that the Governor should
be taken from one district, and that the
four remaining officers should be divided
between the other two.
We have better proposition than that,
we think, and we submit it to the Register,
viz:-to choose the candidates simply with
reference to their qualifications. 1t is a
matter of very small import indeed to the
people OF any county, or any district, to
have one of its citizens chosen as a candi-
date for any State office. The great body
o. the people have no such personal con-
Germ. 1t is not their habit, in fact it is not
human nature, 10 be greatly devoted to the
political fortunes of any given individual.

the people, if they had any good way of
expressing it, is on all occasions to secure
the nomination of the best men in the
Stpte, whether such men live next door
neighbor to them or not. If there is one
thing more than an other that we hope the
Grafton Convention will give its attention
to, it is the selection of the best men in the
State for the offices to be filled at the Oc-
tober election, even if it has to take them
all from one township. 1t is men and not
geography that the convention is called
upon to study. Any convention that I'M
dertakes to make location a speciality in
its nominees will, in all probability, pre-
sent very Indifferent candidates. We say
this with no reference to any possible or
probable candidates. We care not who
the candidates may be. 1t is not worth
the toss of a copper to any right thinking
citizen to secure u nominee for his locali-
ty, save only SO far as the nominee is the
proper man. 1t the Third District can
present five superior citizens for the five
State Offices to be filled, we are entirely

A FRIEND desires US to call attention to
this forcible presentation of the military
situation:
"Let us suppose that Lee was in Delaware,
on the north side of Wilmington, his gun
boats master of the lower Delaware and
Brandywine, and his cavalry raiding to
Lancaster. That Forrest held Cairo, st.
Louis and Chicago, while his guDboats
kept our side of the lakes and the st, Law.
renee under tight blockade. That Johnston
was within twenty miles of Fort Wayne,
while Sherman, not venturiug TO face him
in the field, was struggling to hold ground
behind intrenchments. That Semmes was
blockadiug from the Chesapeake to the St.
Croix, and that confederate guns on Staten
Island were hinging shells into New York.
Aud that gold was worth about two thous-
and per cent. In this copjuncture, certain
southerners should take to asserting that
the condition of the confederates was hope
less. and that all to be done was to ask
armistice and make a shameful and ruiuous
peace. What would be said ? Yet this is
more than "mutatis nutdndiS," and fair
statement of the copperhead scheme ofpOl.

AFTER the rebels had passed through the

more railroad, and General Franklin had
passed out unrecoguized and only with the
loss of his watch aud money, in comman
with his fellow passengers, a baltimore
lady" pointed him out, and he was captur-
ed. Who was this traitor in petticoats,
this shameless woman, who forgot oil the
charities of life and unscxed herself 10 the
service of the enemies of her country2 Had
q woman, carried away by false sympathy
or misled by false principles, interposed to
shield some rebel from the fate that he de-
served, it might be pardoned to the softness
of the feminine character; but when she
stretches out her bloody hands to treach-
erously deliver into captivity an officer en-.
gagged in the service of the country o.
which she is unworthy; she commits on,
of the gravest of crimes. Other women il

and welcomed the invaders and to havt
been greatly satisfied with the robbery
Every one of them should be sent to thu

that the woman has been arrested:

IT seems quite incredible, or 1T would
seem so, but for similar well authenticated
facts, that any people on this side of the
Potomac could invite the invasion which
has carried destruction within our borders
Yet it is stated, and we fear it is true, that
when the hostile forces were approaching
they were directed by signals from men
living on our soil, enjoying the protection
of our laws, entitled to all the privileges,
and subject to all tie obligations of Amer
lean citizens. That such men could guide
he emissaties of plumber and devastation
upon our own soil is surprising belief
Their punishment should be as prompt as
the scauty forms of military law will per-
init, and as severe as the usages of Chris
tiau government recognize. They should
be made an example to deter others from
so unnatural crime.
