BURLINGTON, May % 1878
The following letter IRON Senator Justin ). Morrill,
was read before the Republican Convention:-
WASHINGTON, May Is, 1875
Mr.. GEORGE NICHOLS, Secretary Vermont state Re-
publican Convention, Sorthhela. Va,
Through your favor Of the 9Th inst have your
invitation present at the Republican Convention
10 the 23d o. the present month, but nile
hardly insisting upon that you appear 70 insist
upon word from me about ''signs OF the
times" without claiming 70 be 40 interpre-
say that the N ssioa Of tho republican party is not yet
endeu Ii has moro work to do aud il alone can pre-
what u has already done. There can DO no
dispute should this party lose Its control over ma
tlonai affairs. that many pages OF existing statutes
would soon missed aud thai the latest amendments
Of the CONSTITUTION would be expounded as Northern
hcre.ies.
il IS no. only obvious that The Southern democrats
claim TO largely outuumoer their Northern colaoorers
but that they claim 10 have in intellectual force and
drilled men some other visible advantages ana there
lore can control their party much a. Will Al present
they seek credit Tor great iorbearance though u IS
kind OF iOrUearauco that mover ails to treat ~
self at the next opportunity. But the power behind
southern members, winch pours INTO the
House OF Represc natives iood OF bills CLAIM

shows what might be expected II all The branches oi

order 10 obtain more undincnng working majority,
because not elected by the people. but by
the House. "know their masters crib. AMI are very
reliable paItsans Oi the tour covred
turned 10 the present House only two have been al
lowed 10 remain, and one Of them is hanging upon
Tho tender mercies OF those are never blind 10
the color OF a sitting member.
The colored population OF the country Is numerous
enough 10 eject tnrty Representatives.. but y IS
pcsceabiy permitted, even by more conciliated demo-
Gratis, 10 elect many one.
