Mr.. Alexander II. Stephens, in the At.
lanta Ga, San, says:
Whether tho laborer's convention id
Ohio havesindicated q proper man to be
the standard bearer Of the combined hosts
in this great conflict, We are not prepared
to say. We do not know enough Of
Judge Davis; but we are grati6ed in being
able to say that what We do know Of him
has nothing about it unfavo.abls to that
position. lis true DO sustained the war
for the maintenance Of the Union under
the constitution with all bis zeal and abili.
ty; but il we understand his position since
the war was over, has been equally zeal.
GUS in his opposition to the new war since
then inaugurated BY the present radical ad.
miuistration against ten States Of the Un-
ion, and still waged by them against the
constitution itself. This is now the living
issue; and we hail as brothers all who orc
sound and true to liberty on that, without
regard to former antecedents or party
names. On this subject, however Of
standard bearers or candidates. wo repeat
what We have often said: We shall be
content with any man or men who is

Packing the Cincinnati Convention.

Packing the Cincinnati Convention.
The New York Tribune, Of Wednesday,
calls attention to the announcement that
Grants ofico.holdcrs propose to pack the
Cincinnati Convention and run it in bis in.
terest, and gives Inference to the following:
The Federal Office holders have calISa
their convention to meet at Philadelphia in
June No one proposes to disturb orain.
teriere with them. They have even com.
planned that the editor Of this journal did
not sign their call, insisting tha,,hs would
have been only formal or ministerial act;
though, had he signed, they would at once
have argued that bis signature bound him
to abide by the result Of that convention.
We trust no one will attend that gathering
who has not fully made up his mind to
Let tho present incumbents have another
four years lease Of Office and power.
But the Cincinnati Convention is none
of their affair. They did not call it; they
are not invited; their presence is not desir.
ed, Let them mind their own business
aud run their own machine.
Yet it plain, from the foregoing ex.
tract, that they had formed plot to sur
prise and capture the Cincinnati Conveu
tiou, and are chagriued that the opportuni'
,y is not to be afforded them They may
do as they will at Philadelphia but they
cannot have their way at Cincinnati.

The proposed Petersburg Liberal Re-
publican Convention seems to DO eioiting
great deal Of comment from the press =
The Convention is to meet at Parkersburg
on the 18th Of next month. Its a larger
affair than we at first supposed. II is said
to be called in the interest Of Judge Chase
and it is said TINT many auti.Grant Re.
publicans, are in the movement Adccla.
ration Of principles have been drawn up
and agreed upon, and have been submitted
to Judge Chase, who has given them lis
uDequivocal approval and hearty endorse
meDt, and said that be would support any
candidate, whether Republican or Demo.
cratic, who will accept this platform Of
principles 10 good faith. Tue friends Of
the movement say that Parkersburg was
selected for this Convention because It is
nearly the center Of the population Of tho
United States, and West Virginia is the
originator aud stronghold Of Liberal Re.
publicaus. The object is to nominate a
candidate for President, and to put its
nominee on an equal footing with Judge
Davis before the Cincinnati Convention
Its actions and proceedings, together with
its platform and candidate is TO be submit
ted to the Cincinnati Convention, and BY its
decision the Parkersburg Convention will
abide. We suppose that the Liberal Re.
publican element Of West Virginia will be
largely represented in the Convention at
Parkersburg. A plan is on foot among
The auti.graot Republicans Of this county
to send delegates to thst Convention
This Convention worries ex.Gov. Steven.
SOD wonderfully, and be devotes in bis last
issue nearlya whole column to it. The
threats Of this whining demagoge and
c.rpet.bagger, will have no terrors for
honest, liberal.miudsd Republicans.

The Constitutional Convention is still at
work, and its |abors are slowly drawing to
aclose. We intend TO publish the reports
ofthe committee as adopted BY the Con-
yention. From present indications We are
willing to believe that the new constitution
will be acceptable to the people, and will
be a great improvement over the old one.
We would however, like to see the report
Of the Committee on Education more en-
pbatic and explicit. We don't want 10
give the Legislature too much control in
this matter. Que Of the best things the
Convention can do, is to engraft into the
constitution clause providing for thor.
ougb, efficient and judicious system of free
schools, which will be economical and at the
same time give tue children from six to
to ten months schooling each year. We
believe the Convention will correct the re.
port Of the Committee 10 this particular.
