IMPORTANT.


There has net been aperiod since the
formation of this State when the people
should exercise more circumspection 10
the selection of gentlemen eminently
qualified to go to our next Legislature,
therefore we suggest as there has al
ready been suggested good and com,
peten. men, that the primary election
system be resorted to, and the two men
receiving the largest nImber of votes
be declared the cap1idates to be voted
for at our regular election; by this mode
the people and not the politicians select
their representatives. We regard this
mode as being fair, and protecting the
people aud party against having incon-
petent and tricky men forced upon them
through the manipulation of conven-
tons, which often reflect the prejudices

We had a conversation with Bprke-
ley county friend, few days ago,-one
whose opportunities for getting at the
views of the people Of his county are
excellent,-and he informed us that
there is almost a universal sentiment
among the democrats and conservatives
of Berkeley, county tavorihg the nomi-
nation of Z. Boyd Faulkner, Esq, for
the Senate. If the democrats Of our
mother county present the name of that
gentleman to the convention, we are
quite sure it will be met with a crafty
ing response from the delegates who
will represent the democracy Of Jeffer-
son in that body. Most Of our voting
citizens, if they do not know Mr.. +.
personally, have heard favorably Of
him. His ability, manhood and integ-
rity are unquestioned. -Naught can be
said detrimental to his public or private
characterize is without spot wrinkle
or any such thing. He i. prominent
among his people for zeal, activity,
industry, and prudence in matters
where their interests are concerned and
to be subserved, and kindness and
courteous bearing are his constant at
tendants. He is son whom Berkeley
delights to honor, and Jefferson and
Morgan will share in the pleasure which
his exallation may give her.-Rse
