R. MEANS DAVIS, Edftor, WEDNESDAY MORINGh, AUGUST t6, 18A. Two Suggestione, We wish to make two s'uggest'ions First. That the Executive Com. nittoo of the Taxpayers' Convention Am'nediatoly issue a call for a weet ing of the State Union, at 01110 fu tura time. It inatters not how late be the day appointed. The idea I to let it be known exactly when the Stato Union will met, so that the work of .oganizing County Unions ry be expOeditexl. Scon.d. That the 1iecutivo Com mitteo bf the Pon'vention, or who ever has the power, should imne diately designato some placo and day for Conservativo Congressional Nom1. Inating ConVentiobs. In tie third and fourth districts the campaign should be actively began immediatc ly. ,1ot us not be laggards. mosa vs. Ohamborlain. Te r papors assert .that the demoerats are working like boavors to seauro a renomiuatiop o( Mosep. This assertion has been, rQp.atod by jouruals yhiolih olaim. to be conserva tivo, and should thorofor'e know bet tor. This assertion, as far as wO ar concerned is false. We bitterly de nouncod Moso., when these halho journals were muto. As long as wo. believed that Moses stood a chance for the nomination, we attacked hini with all our wight. Bit when the ontire Northern press, ind home radiet8ls took up the tin,1 v' - .y against hin, we considered him "a dead cock in the pit," ind therefore r6nsidered it neodloss. We saw how'en !, that ualNg Moses as a scapo goat., O.na radicals by cry ing reform, wore endeavoring secret ly to slip in a cantdidate, no more lit for the gubernatorial iominatiun than Mioses. In order to provent this if possible, we have brought what power we possess, to bear directly on Chamberlain. lie is the most promii. Dent candidato and the most dang1r ous. \Vo are not to be diverted by a falso scent. We intend to attack any untit person who becoics tost prominent. We with it to be tinder stood that we are decidcdly opposed 'to the nomination either of Mosos or Chamberlain. An Appoal* We publish this moriing a letter which should appeal to the sympathy of every citi.en of lairlield. The fire fiend has rendered licmo less an entiro family under circumn stances of a p)eculiair character, Let our friends rally to thie suceur of an unfortunate brother, and let the Patrons of Ilusbandlry ill ust rate the noble principles of ther erder. Permit inc through the colutmis of the N aws and IlIW.. i to appeal to the people1 of F'ah held in behalf of .Wi. lIopkins Kerr, a one armied Sol., diecr, who has lost his aill on the eight of the 17th inst, by tire w hiich as I have been informeod has left him only one small negro cabIn in hik yard, and of lisa householi goods lie only saved a small quant ity of be d clothing. The ease of Mr. kerr is pueculiary trying.

Attenipte have been made to buy up conservativo papors, and we 'eg'ret t'o say seoino ha'e suc OCeded. Yot the 'onservatives are so blind nh to m1akO no effort to sustain thoil omn papers. They expect them tc maintain a desperate fight Against fraud and tyranny, and denoune< then bitterly, when, for an instant) they stumble, and yet they support them so feebly, that honest journah either struggle for exist.ce, or esc succumb. The Carolinian was a sad examplc of this. It was the bravest and ablest paper in the State, and wa's a terror to the Radicals who, Litie aid a,ain, endeavored to bribe its Llitor. But he was not to be bought. The paper died because of the ho':ie*ty of its proprietor who Avotld. no; be bribed, and bcoau's of the blind penuriousness.of its 'eo lo vl' Would not r.ally to ito support When i't was battling iobly for thein.
