his many acts Of kindness, and his great gal.
lantrv. He stood by us in war, and we are 60
ing to stand by him in peace. AT the same
Time, we arc not bigoted. If the people OF
Alexandria express preference tor any other
gentleman we will support him cordially. We
insist, however, that Col. Brent has the sup
port OF largo majority OF our people. a few
of US were present at the meeting held on Mon:
day night, when delegates were selected, and
We know that four out of every five men there
were for Brent. What we complain OF Is the
manner in which the delegates were appointed.
The worthy President. Capt. Steuart, appoint
ed Committee of twelve TO nominate dele
gates. The committee retired and reported
thirtv-thrce delegates, nine of whom were
of the committee appointed to select dele
gates. Was that right? And the worst
of it was that these nine men who for
cot all presidents were Claughton men and

ton put themselves upon the list as delegates.
Not content with doing this they actually would
not allow Capt. Chapman. MIR. Washington.
and Mr.. hewitt, Brent men, who were also on
the Committee, to be appointed.
This was not right, and wo will not submit
to it, We demand that the sense OF the peo-
pie of Alexandria shall be taken in some way.
Let US have ward meetings. The proper course
for the delegates to pursue is to resign, and let
new ones be appointed, but if they will not We
can Instruct them by our ward meetings, and
then dare not disregard our Instructions. If
Mr.. Claugton is the choice Of our people let
him submit his claim to q vote of the people.
We challenge him to do so. Finally, if the
people of Alexandria are not allowed to show
their preference in some other way than the
meeting on Monday, and if Col. Brent is not our
candidate, and Mr. Ciaughton is, he will receive
but feeble support from the working men Of

1t is quite amusing to read the lucubratloDs
and gratuitous advice OF some disappointed
persons, at party nominating convention, and
to reflect, that since the organization OF parties
there has always been moro or less of dlS>ats-
faction produced by any and every political
gathering. 1t may have happened that, in the
instance referred 10, their was an unusual nc
thod rcsorted 10 in the appointment OF the
delegates that there was en- unintcntlonal
lack Of modcsty on the part OF the nominating
committee, and that all classes may not hare
received proper consideration, but does it not
always occur that precisely the same objections
obtain, and that there are always some dISlp-
pointed. Not one Of my profession was put
on the committee or nominated as delegate,
but Tor that reason, must fuss ard iumc and
attempt to create discrod. In no other county
in the district have the delegates been lnstruc.
ted, then why should Alexandria act different
ly, and the claims Of other candidates be dis
paragcd by the expression OF preference OF
one out of the numerous names that will be
brought before the convention Every man
has right to his individual opinion. Every
delegate, it is expected will represent, as far
as he knows the wishes of his constituents,
but nevertheless he should be untramelcd to
cast his vote fer the best man irrespective Of
locality. While the classes may not have their
representatives, the delegates arc good men
and true and if LETT unimbcrrassed will do their
duty to the city and the district. hope all
pickering will cease and all feeling, if any cx-
lists, will be allnyed at once, and that harmony
will prevail, the motives oil none be questioned

The Conservative Convention recently III
in this city appointed thirty three delegates
to represent this county in the proposed Con
them, or express preference Tor any OF the
numerous candidates whose claims will be SUB.
:nllted to that Convention.
1t is claimed by the friends Of COL Brent that
large majority of cur citizens would prefer
him over any other candidate whose name has
been mentioned in connection with the canvass.
and therefore the Alexandria delegation should
cast their votes for him, 81 long as there Is a
possibility OF securing his nomination.
On the other hand, the friends OF Mr..
Claughton contend, that it is mere aSsump'
ton that majority are in favor OF Col. Erent,
as the Convention failed to decide between
these Two candidates; and there has been no
public expression of opinion that warrants such
conclusions as Col. Breut's friends have arriv-
cd at, and they contend that the several dele
gates should cast their votes, according 10 their
individual opinions as to WHO'S the choice OF
our citizens.
Now if we expect to secure the nomination
Of either of these gentlemen, 1t Is OF the great
est importance that the vote OF our delegation
should be cast as u INIT, and, in order to ascar'
tain the sentiment of the roters, l would sue-
gest that ward meetings be held sometime dur
inp the coming week, when the people can have
an opportunity Of expressing thei' choice AID
instruct their delegates.
Surely the friends ct COL Brent or Mir.
Claughton can urge TO objection to this course,
and do not suppose either Of these gentlemen
desire to 20 before Convention without the
support of their own county.
If the suggestion in regard 10 ward meetings
meets with favor, think it would be ad7lSa'
BILE for the several wards to meet on the same
evening 10 order to guard against outside m
fuence. DELEdATE.
