,.Inc.,, by the affects Of the late war. There
is also in contemplation general revision
al TIE organic laws Of the State, under u
preyailing opinion that better basis OF
government can be laid. Under such i'm
pressions, the most important and delicate
duties viii deyolve upon the members Of
that Convention. Let lis endeayor, there
tore, to close our eyes TO every considera.
tion but that Of selecting the ablest and
hest men. We should let no petty interests
or predictions influence US in our choice
of men. We should rise superior 10 every
thing but the bare consideration, who is the
best qualified. hav done the best that l
am capable Of doing, to select two men who
arc qualified, and beg leave, most respect
fully, TO suggest their names. They are
Nat. NJ. Burford and j. 4. Colt. Thesetw
men come rs near possessing the requisite
qualifications, in my humble opinion, as
any we can select. There are other men
spoken Of, who are altogether as good, no
nonbt, as these; but this is tine that de-
mAnds men Of peculiar fitness. The men
who represent MS in Inc approaching con-
vention should be talented and learned
they should understand much of the phil
"A III nf rtp ms
should have n fair know ledge Of parliament
larry usages. To secure the services Of men
Of pnch abilities, at this critical period,
should be our first, highest and only con-
81 icratioG.
1t is true that both these men live on one
side of tie rivcr: but it isnot possible that
the wisdom of the people Of Dallas county
vii be saciaticcd on this momentous occa-
son, % u petty prejudice; or that the great
intcrests of III State will be made 10 turn
upon such u trivial circumstance. The peo-
PIE OF Dallas county have too much sense
20 lie Influenced, upon an important occa-
sion like this, BY any such considerations.
They viii seek out and support the right
men, let Them live where they may.
j. I. Colt is iai mer--purcly so, and
man of learning and experience. He will
make highly creditable and efficient dele
gale. Everybody knows Nat Nj. Burioid
as man OF talents and ability. He is Pc
culiarly fitted for parliamentary business
and tact. As all advocate or dcbatarie has
few superiors.
These are both men Of high moral stan
daid, aud Of remarkable popular bearing;
aud if elcctcd willtakc high position in
the Convention and reflect great credit up
