for Southampton with 249 passengers, among
whom rt notice our felloyv citizens Judge

The steamer Kangaroo sailed the same day
for Liverpool with 272 passengers. Accord-

It is always very natural for-persons doing
wrong"fe try and get some kind of excuse for
their-odndifCt. One great ohjecion. that the
Opposition party now in'our State are orbing
for «ft excuse to palliate their conduct is, that
the 'Convention system is unjust and nnfair.
and that it gives to a few the power to con-
! trol the affairs of our State. ~
We do not deny the fact that the conven
tion system has suffered great abuses; but
this does not argue against the system, but
simply shows that like all other systems it
may be abused. Bat supposing the system,
was done awiy with, what would they estab-
lish in its place? They offer none. It is a
well known fact that a popular government
to be just must derive its powers from a ma
jority of the governed. Now, antesS some,
such system is adopted, how are we to selec'
candidates who are the choice of the majority
of the voters of our State or District? Each
portion of tbe State may have its particular
favorite for the office of Governor; and iu a
State having 100,000 voters there mey be'
eight candidates for Governor, and so nearly
may the extent of their popularity be that
the one receiving 20.000 vot's would heeler-
ted. Would" the election of a Governor in
this mapner receive his powers from* major-
ity of the governed? The Democratic prfrty
have tested the adaptability of conventions
for over eighty years; and. although at t me«
it may have been abused by designing men.
still there is not the shadow of a doubt f ut it
is tho the best system of selecting candidates
so that a majority of the' governed may en

A
majority at 5 00.
Mr. 'Letcher, the regular Democratic can
trust powers in the hands of tho e who gov Uidate for Governor, is sick, confined to hi-
efn them. .. . • •
It does net in tbe least deprive an honest
voter from voting fcr whom he pleases; so
how does it affect the rights of any citizen 1
It has been said by the opponents of this sys-
tem that a nomination by conventional sys
tem is equivalent to ->n election. And why
is this the case? Simply from the fact that
it is the true index of the popular will; and
the opponents of tbe system admit this fact
in raising the objection.
Now for a few plain facts. The Democrat-
ic paify has always had its em-mies; they
have at different times exhausted the political
vocabulary for names to go by ; their princi-
ples change to suit the popular breeze.; < ut
their great motto has always been to oppose
everything that is democratic. Tbe plain
truth is that most of them never were demo
crats, and never can be. They may have
acted with the party occasionally because it
was popular,—bat a democrat in spirit and
in truth can never be a democrat one day or
one year -and then something els ! When
you see such political characters, just murk
Democratic hearts can ne^u pulsate
ill the bosom -of such men. There is some-
thing too popalar, too noble in the principles
of Democracy. Such men are cut oat and
best adapted for a despotic govern mer t and
coald^they have their owa way, our country
would grow into a despotism in a few years,
and they would look for position among the
nability Question th^tn, and yon will soon
find that they do not believe that " all men
are created equal;' they do not believe that
others do, owing to the place of their birth,
or their religion. We say again what w<
have said often—that our country owes eve-
thing to (he- democratic party ; it has made
oar country what it is. and the great majori
ty of oar people have great confidence in its
^'prirtCipleB, and any person who is an oppon
ent of the democracy,* is an enemy of a free
Government; and the Convention system hr.s
long been established by this party in our
country.
