Both aspirants have since announced them.

serting that he was the choice OF the con.

belief, however, is that these two can.

forced their man upon the convention AS

NEW LIFE FOR IRELAND,

BAIRD on the Suffering Lands Pros.
pects. & 81
NEW York, August 222.-Alichael Dayi,t,
the Irish Nationalist, in letter, to the
Nt'rs, reports an interesting interview with
Henry Carey Baird, of Philadelphia, on
the Irish question. Mr.. and Mrs. Baird
were fellow-passengers with Mr.. Dayitt on
the Pennland. Mr.. Baird iavors a peasant
proprietary for Ireland, but admits the i'm.
practicability Of carrying such scheme
into effect in face of the proverbial poverty
OF the Irish tenant farmer class aud the in-
creasiug American competition, which rem
der the payment OF increased rent-in the
way Of purchasing the fee simple Of their
farms-an impossible task. III the course
Of the talk Mr.. Baird summarized his
views as follows: S"In my opiu-
ion there is no hope whatever for Ire
lane, with or without peasant proprietary,
unless there be thorough and com plete
diversiticaiion in the industries OF the peo-
pie, TO the end that local markets for labor
and its products should be built up. In n
word, that active association among the
people should take place. Competition
with England alone in manufactures will
be heavy burden for Ireland to bear; but
il she is asked, in addition 10 this, to sub.
nit 10 agricultural competition from Amer.
ica. her case is hopeless, even should re-
volutionsry measure for the confscation OF
the present landlords titles to the land be
resorted to. A development OF these in.
dustries will enable the Irish people to
diversity their agriculture and to raise those
for local market Of which an acre yields
tons instead Of those OF which it Yields bu,
bushels" ;" He added that in his opinion
all the miseries under which Ireland suf.
fers are the result OF British misruIe.
A1r. Dayitt concludes bis letter with the
statement that the executive OF the League
are taking steps to revive Irish manuiac,
turers throughout the country. l..a..$

"Did iteycr come to yonr knowledge that
away out in the wilds Of Tucker we have
one OF the bravest little Republican or.
ganizations in the State? Garfield received
$50 out OF the $40 votes cast; and Col.
Menear, gallant old "stalYart Republi-
can, was elected sheriff l received letter
from gentleman residing there the other

voted five TO our one; two years a.o they
had not two to our one. The Republicans
are united and the Democrats divided; and
| il we have proper candidates, who can
talk well and have the right kind Of stuff
in them, the Bourbons will have difficulty
in holding even minority The Fairmont
convention should make note OF this. y
I call special attention TO it, Just on the
eve OF the Congressional Convention, to be
held Mt Fairmont. on Thursday. lf is .
strong argumentin favor OF a straight nomi.
nation. 1t goes TO show what can be ac-
compiished by organization and steadiast
adherence TO principle The election Of
Sheriff Menear in the Bourbon county OF
Tucker was not brought about by the
sacrifice Of a-siuge principle, or single
bit OF self respect. In the summer OF 1850,
John W. Mason, otTaylor. county, made at
St. George, the first Republican speech
ever nadein Tucker county. The election
Of Mr.. Menear aud the organization and
gains referred 10 are some OF the legitimate
results. 5.ir-
At Fairmont, 4nite number Of hitherto
good Republicans are said to favor tho
nomination OF Bethuel NJ. Kitchen ior
Congress. II is even reported, that in
view OF securing as strong asupport as pos
sible, no County convention was called,
and a majority lot the delegates in the va.
rious districts were rejected by the Exec.
utive Committee. This is with
out precedent or authority. Tho out,
come OF it may possibly be a arebnke at the
polls. A method Of this sort savors too
strongly OF bossism and ring rule. While
we lind majority Of the Republicans
hereahouts disposed to acaiuese in the will
Of the Fairmont Convention, there is m
universal feeling in opposition
to the nomination OF any man
other than 4 tried and 9r true, |
stnight.out Republican. In our opinion
any other course will result in humilia.
