republican convention will, it is said, be
solidly for Mr.. Sherman And so probably
will be those from all or most of the other
Southern States. But they were so once
before, and yet Mr. Sherman die not get the
nomination. The republicans, so far as the
bes.owal of their highest honors are con-
cerned, don't believe in the rotten burrough
system. They nominate men who are
the favorites of the States that at cleo
tons always give republican, majorities. The
democrstsare the people " horevers this v Use
rule, and who have their Presidential candi-
dates selected by the States that never, or
hardly ever, give democratic msjorities.

form ara incontrovertible." The message
r.fsrred to recommended the removal or the

of the Virginia legislature, which declared
for tina abolition of the entire internal reVe-
