a Reasonable Suggestion.

rom lIlt hOtutsltt EADle-H.-
When the time comes for holding Republi-
can National ConVcntion-say the 1st of July,
1S1G-the deliberations Of that bedy will be OF
the greatest public interest, because its deter
limitations will be supposed to reflect the Will
of the people represented. If it does not do
just that, its proceedings will be of no possible
consequence-less important than the jambOEee
at Cincinnati in 1872. No man or clique can
capture a properly constituted National Con-
Vention. OF course it will be agitated by
cliques, stormed at by localities, vexed by
varying personal preferences, shaken by
jealousies; but the majority will be governed
by the great motives of public interest, and
the desire to carry the election worthily, for
the good Of the whole people, will be para
mount. This has been the controlling in
fuence in all Republican conventions hitherto,
and no ring of plundeTers, no combination of
interested office holders has been able to shape
the decision of the representative body from
which the successful nominations and the plat
form of principles have come. Now, what
sense is there in the persistent clamor of some
so-called Republican and Independent journals
about the third candidacy Of General Grant (:
Do they suppose the nomination can be dicta-
ted from Washington, or that a convention of
delegates, popularity chosen, can be compelled
to nominate a man whom the people do not
want ard will not vote for: If not, why not
submit the question as to the candidate first to
the people, and then to the convention, trus :
ing to the patriotism and intelligence of the
one and the honor and fidelity of the otherl
Why distract the party in advance, SOW dissen-
sion and ensure present defeats, which will dis
courage one party and give the other the ad-
vantage of general preliminary success?

road Company, but for the legitimate purpose Of
developing the property for manufacturing pur-
poses. Neither was it purchased In ignorance Of
the claim Of that company TO right of way over
it under license from Mr.. Poindexter, Secretary
OF War. Nor did the contest between the pur-
chasers and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company arise primarily from their occupancy Of
the roadway granted by the said license.
The purchasers Of the property found the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad COMPANY exercising
rights entirely outside Of the limits granted by
said license, and the exercise OF which destroyed
the uater.power and rendered the property con-
paratiVely valueless for the purposes for which Il
was purchased. They complained TO the railro I'd

Mr.. VICE PRESIDENT WILSON is either
an exceedingly guileless individual, or he
has been grossly misrepresented. In a re-
cent interview he is reported to have dis
closed his desire that the Republican party
Shall retain control of the National Gov
ment, and belief that the people Of the
South-meaning the natives of that section
arc satisfied that negro suffrage shall re-
main unimpaired. In the first proposition
tie masses Of the people will heartily join
him. but in the second not a single man
who knows what Democracy is in the
North. as well as in the South, will place
any faith. With the exception of a few
meaningless and glittering generalities
served up to gull the credulOus, the Dem
Ocratic platforms, both State and National,
and every feature of Democratic legisla-
ton, have been in opposition to the exten-
sion or retention Of suffrage by the blacks.
Opposition to negro suffrage is, in fact, one
Of the cardinal principles Of the Democ-
acy. Its assaults on the Republican party
re based upon it. and next to its devotion
the State Rights fallacy it relies upon
lie prejudice of race to secure popular ia
ror. Mr. Wilson must know this. He
undoubtedly does know it, but his desire
TO he ranked as a great public conciliator
has blinded his judgment, and led him to
deceive the loyal people of the country,
while he attempts to win favor with the
so called Independents by deprecating the
policy of holding the Democrats to strict
accountability for acts of which every one
knows they have been guilty, and are will
ing and anxious to be guilty again.

Immediately whipped round and asked to amend
their pIeaGings, and on leave granted they put in
a new claim to the privileges they were exercising
under a deed from one Patrick b Urn, who claimed
the property under O grant from the State o.
Maryland This issue raised the question of the
proper division line between the States of Mary
land and Virginia, and opened prospect of end
lees litigation, upon which the purchasers were
unwilling to embark. They accordingly ten
dered the property back to the Government and
asked to be relieved from the payment of the
purchase money.
Let me add in conclusion that the Judiciary
Committee of the House have twice careful y
examined this subject, and twice reported a bill
to relieve the purchasers, and bill for that pur-
pose has passed both the Senate and House, but

E<ACTLY what the North Carolina Dem

be learned from the following extract from

TO Radicalism of imported Yankee ideas let
the old time practices he restored, including
The whipping post and qualified suffrage. But
il Is understood, we think, that the Legisla-
lure cannot limit the action of a convention,
ard if the convention meets il can do as it
p,cascs." = ''NOmember of a sovereign
S; ate convention should regard the dictatiOE
OF mere legislative body" The re-
stliCtions imposed in the bill as it passed the
Senate are degrading and disgraceful to the
people Of the S.ate, especially in its pandering
to the prejudices of our fanatical enemies at
