10 DC Held IN 81. louis on
Thursday.
ST.. LOUIS, May 1.-The Conycn-
ton Of anti-third term Republicans
10 bc held in this city on Thursday
next, promises to he n large and
important National gathering. The
principles by which tho Convention
will be actuated, and which it pro.
poses to enunciatc to the country,
may be gathered from the following
published circular of the executive
committee:
"Wc feel q profound interest in
the approaching Presidential elcc-
ton, and in view Of that interest,wo
witness with alarm the evident pur-
pose Of some Of our friends TO com
nit tho party to the dangerous pol
icy Of a third term nomination.
We believe that tho precedent cs-
tAblishcil by Washington, and pat
riotieally adhered 10 by his success
sors in Office, is founded upon the
wiscst considerations Of public pol
icy.
We endorse tho language Of Mr..
Jefferson when he said, IF some
termination to the services Of the
Chief Magistrate be not fixed by tho
Constitution or supplied by prae-
tice, his Office nominally for years
will in fact become for lile.a
The resolution adopted in the
State Convention by tho lepnbli-
can party Of PennsylyaniainlS5
still receives our most corIlialEap-
probation, 'o.wit: "rllatwetleelarc
