Our people are beginning to realize
that Noxubec county is preparing to
hold another election. We are glad
to see that there is a total absence
Of any party spirit, but on the contrary
a disposition to select the ablest men
we have in the county, irrespective of
any past fractional predictions, for
the very important work OF framing
a new constitution or amending The
present one. rs the convention, after
mature drlibcratiUn, may determine.
II is n matter OF sush vital import that
the people cannot allow petty differ.
cnccs that may have controlled their
actions in the past. 20 influence them
now in the selection OF delegates, and
no matter which side or faction one
may have been on, the only question

large enough TO yield any precon-
cciycd notions to sound argument.
The man who is wrapped in the pro
found slumber of n decided opinion
should be left 10 wallow at home in
his own stngnation. We need men
who are thoughtful, earnest, able to

We feel assured that Il the people

men whose work will be a political
blessing to the State, otherwise we

charged against himself OIL the LIST OF
