tion. whose judgment and patriotism will
prompt them TO nominate such candidates

We can best preserve the integrity Of the

While We regret that views adverse to
these should be held b. any of our polit-

Of the Convention, rather than aid in the
support. directly or Indirectly. of our ro-
htical opponents.

CoMMuSIcArEp.
Mr.. Editor Il have noticed several
communications in your paper, for and
against the system of nominations BY par
ty. commonly known as the Crawford
County System" Admitting that this
system presents at the first view the fair
est means Of calling forth the popular SEN
timcnt Of the people it is yet, upon close
analysis. subject to great objections. But
firstly. apart from any objections that
nigh. urge against it as system. its prac-
ticability at the pr, sent juncture seems to
argue it down. We. as party. are now
practically in our infancy. For the FIRST
time party formidable in numbers. and
bitter in opposition. j. opposed to Us. 1t
is generally known that our entire major
ity at the last election was owing to the
colorcd Democrats who came to our side.
Il this, then. a time to be creating dissen-
sions in our party? We must work in
unison. at least. in our FIRST attempt. Dis
sensions it will surely create. If all the
districts had the same number of votes,
probably so much objection could not be
used. but even then, my greatest objee-
ton would be this: Firstly. for my
premises. q Convention is absolutely ne
ccssary. This. believe. is now conced-

Mr.. Editor II have read the call for
Convention by the Central Committee and
your comments on it.
cannot perceive BY what authority the
State Central Committee empowers, au-
thorizes and assumes the control of our To-
cal county matters. Whence is it deriv-
ed? Has any County Convention or mass
meeting at any time delegated this powers
BY what authority then is it exercised?
The Committee has issued its writs for
a general election. mingling in a mixed
dish. State and county politics together.
prematurcly anticipating and forestalling
the action Of their successors, decided on
matters of grave import to the party and
gratuitously lectured all who differ with
them in their views. What evidence is
there that Convention to nominate
for local Offices is wanted BY majority of
the people!
Ii is true there has been some clamor
(at the Hub-Leonardtown) for q Con-
vention. but by whom mostly BY a
hackueyed set of politicians and profess
sional Office hunters who work the wires so
as to pack and control the district meet
ings and make the Convention subservient
to their wishes. The major part of those
advocating Convention are composed Of
those who bolted from and repudiated the
Convention of 1857. aud by uniting with
the American party .bea. down the nominees
Of the Democratic party. Can full faith
and credit be given them now? Have
they any right to ask it "What public
object any democrat can have for oppos-

The DEAD PAsr.-What politician would
not be considered quite insane to be dis.
cu.sing. at the present day. the conssitu-
tional power Of Congress over slavery in
the Territories. and whether the power to
prohibit or establish i. was vested in Con-
gress or the people! Is not that question
dead and buried? 1t is no more so than
all others on, of which the war may be
said to have had its origin. What, then.
is the use Of arguing these d cad questions?
We h.ve enough of living ones left. which
are more vital than those which are passed.
We well know that had the Democratic
policy been adhered to We might have
had no war. bloodshed, or taxation; but
it was not adhered to. The people willed
il otherwise, and the burden is on their own
shoulders. We cannot change the results
Of the popular error; but We can proven,
the occurrence Of others eqanlly threaten
