advantages ovcr the old convention
Sysicm; that it was the only political
freedom wc had Of casting IL vote for

Nhilc cvcry man-~was fully aware
Of 'ho Importance Of adopting the

We must III, k 10 conventions; that tn G
primary was Il Few thing-having
Eccn sprung too suddenly upon the
lcopic, and too near The cave of ar
c,ectlon." Ii appears to me, Mr..
I.di'ur, that We ha' ample time to-
satisfy ourselves uf the advantages
accruins iIonI ,hc primary system,
and there are only few who have
been cnnva>sing the country from
the Ccngar'c to the South EdiSto
who think 1t too percipitant upon the
minds Of the people. | am afraid
hat they Will think likewise of the
ccnvuii'n wl,n llev mil to get the
n' mii&lrn 1t has been said that
we will lie letter prepared for it at
ter Ills lcc,io,, say nom is the
lmc for us to do good. The next
presidential election "cpends upon
our carrying this State We know
that the primary system WAS the

North Carolina, Georgia. and sever
al ciE,r states Tie Democrats, and
wc ought to be t!"uhly sure nf it's jua-
tlcc hy adopting il in our county.
The Republicans met at their
headquarters, near this place, last
Monday for the purpose of organiza-
tion. The attendance was compara-
lively small and sn divided that they
failed 10 accomplish anything. They
Will meet again this evening, and if I
am allowed a scat will try and give
you the result Of the same.
We have had fine rains for the last
two days, after a month Of sunshine
and dry weather. Corn is very small
and | am afraid good deal of it
will miss in shooting. The cotton
crop is generally very fine, being q
good season to kill grass. We have
been catching some very fine fish.
We use neither scins, cla ms, or nets
Stone rollers and crickets are rs good
as we want. With the latter we
catch Dream. and the stream from
scins seem to keep up where we find
good fishing, while almost every 9TH
CT stream in the country had stopped
running, | suppose for the want of
rain.
With wishes for the success of
your paper, and the Democratic tick
ct in this county, which can only be
accomplished by the adoption of our
convention. PRIMARY.
