The Osceola TINES of the 7th
INST. wants the Congressional con-
vention Of tins district, "put off un-
ill some time late in September, or
even in October, to AVOID 4 repeti.
ton of the unfair advantage in the
last campaign" To which we re-
ply. lst. The less the TINES has to
say of The so-called "unfair advant.
age two years ago, the better it
will be for its candidate. The charge
OF taking an Aunfalr advantage"
was then falsely made against Col.
House and industrlousiy circulated
to his disadvantage. The falsity Of
this charge he afterwards clearly
established.
2nd. For several reasons we are
IN favor OF holding but one conven-
ton in each county. At this con-
vention let the people instruct for
State officers and for congressman,
and where they deem it advisable
let them nominate their county OF.
ficers at the same time. The peo-
pie will not turn out TO several con-
ventlons, as they will to one; ono
in each county is enough, and this
should be early or late according to
the time for holding the State con-
vention. To avoid "cut-and dried
conventions" as the TINES seems
to desire, let them be held at the
time the most people will take part
IN them, and then we shall have Il
full and untrammeled expression OF
the popular volce.-[White County
Beacon.
AS to our remarks relative 10 the
premature opening of the cam.
paign and holding early eonven.
tons, we meant no reflections on
Col. House or any other aspirant
1t was simply to admonish and eau
ton the constituents OF the district
to guard against a similar occur
renee that two years ago caused
considerable comment and hard
feeling. We simply advocate fair
play, not Tor any particular aspi-
rant, but for the whole of them ;
and would censure the advocates of
Col. Dunn for any improper haste
or premature shutlling Of the polit-
ical cards, as readily and with as
much Zeal as those Of Col. House.

The Osccola TINES very peril.

culiar necessity for hurrying up a
congressional convention in this
district. Mr.. Dunn, our present
representative, is at Washington at.

not likely that there will be any
opposition to the nominee of the
Democratic party, and it would be
unfair to Mr.. Dunn to hold Il con-
venuon of single county in his
absence. Snap judgments are as

The pertinacity of republicans in insist
ing upon conducting campaigns upon
sectional issues, is conclusive proof of
their belief in the folly of the people.
Intelligent men cannot believe that the
south has any intention Of dissolving the
union. Thoughtful men cannot fail to
see that these endless dissensions and
ordinations, cannot fail to work injury
to the country. But there is a class,
that typiied by those who delight to tell
how 1--WE licked the Britishers," whose
patriotism can only be stirred by con-
temptation OF defeated foe. Their
courage assumes grand proportions when
the enemy IS captive. They paint dan
gers which have only place in their
own imaginations. They are knight
Grants and are daily fighting in fancy
for the integrity of the union
Then, there is the congener of the
guileless democrat who votes regularly
for Andrew Jackson. His republican
cousin in ignorance fancies jeff Davis is
stalking around the south DESTROYING
union men and proving terribly destruc-
tive to loyal soldiers. He is encouraged
IN his belief 50 that his vote may be put
where it will do the most good to the
party emerged in hunting down jeff The
spasms of intense loyalty are as regular as
leap year in their recurrence. A state cleo
ton gives rise TO them in a mild form.
But it is only in a presidential year that
they appear in their worst form. To
howl about loyalty, to boast about deeds
done by an almost past generation is
peculiarly American. The Yankee who
boosted OF the wounds received in battle
but when requested to exhibit them,
suddenly discovered it was his brother
who received the hurts, is but the proto-
type of the republican who is always
dilating upon the war. The evil of hav-
ing divided country, is something to
be deplored; bat the incessant Boosting
is becoming intolerable. The people
too often mistake braggadocio for cour-
age and loud professions for services.
This is how the republican party has
been kept in power

GENERAL GARFIELD's junketing tour
has disgusted a number of his more
respectable supporters. The trip to New
York was evidently made in abiect defer
ence to the stalwarts. Still it did not
call out Conkling. Sherman, Logan and
Blaine were there. The rebellion was
duly discussed and Garfield tried his
hand at putting it down. Rebellion was
staring us IN the face and only awaited
Hancock's election to seize us by the
throat. Such talk by candidate who
said at one time that "the man who at
tempts to get up political excitement
in the country on the old sectional issues
will find himself without a party and
without support, naturally angers those
friends who admire the better and more
patriotic utteTance.
