Tut Gazkitk U of the opinion that theoouuty oonveutlon to uoihluato can didates for the various county qfHces Should not be couveued by the County Kxeoutlvo Committee beforo tho middle of September. Our reasous for' this sug gestion are; First, ft ts important that every can didal) who desire* to havo hla name be fore the people shoulil;have as much time as possible in wbleh to do so, In or der thttt biomerits and Jitneas uiay be thoroughly canvassed. ttetond, That, being announced, the vlows of candidates' may be known on suoh questions as may be of moment to the people, and thus In voting' for them the convention will act Intelligently and knowingly.' Third, I?y that tlmo there tvlll besuch a development In the National and State campaign us to require the pooplo to look well to the adaptability of candidates, es pecially members o( tho General Assem bly. Fourth, Because It will have every ap pearance, by tho length of time tui'd de liberation, of fairness and Impartiality; and will give rise to no possible com plaint of hastiness or undue advantage being taken of any one. These are tho views of Tun Gazkttk, $nd we throw the in out for considera tion. Wo Invite expressions of opinions from correspondents In different por tions of the county. For Tho Gazolto. I A.

While I am not eoeking offloo,/t?t nou>, for any particular man, it nay bo shows that wo who live in this seo tlon of the County nro always too silent upop tbo subjcot of politics, or are too baokward in putting forth our olaims, and consequently we (.being obout oue-third of the County) have to go and be satisfied with pne otlioor, and some timed nothing more than a County Commissioner, while we naturally and rightfully are entitled to at loast tbroo. Wo have tho men for tho positions?good mon, too. , Who will deuy the faot, and say that wo oan't furnish one good man (as wo have done) for the Legislature and one for Clerk of Court' and one for County Commissioner, or for ftny Other offioe? We have the Tory men for the positions named, and only need to beoome moro united within ourselves lb carry our points in the oonvention. Wo have been heretofore too Indifferent. The ?everal'olubs in this part of tho.oounty have always voted .at random?each club voting for its own man, or with Bome otber (may be the Western) portion of tho County, and yet growl because we havo no showing Iji the Con yon ti on; and the fault is so plain that.tbqrq is no room for complaint. ^propose that we have unity at home, unity In tho clubs, and unity in the con vention. Then, nothing more w}U be neo ossary but-to name out men. We olaim no majority, but ktVo,w that our strength would bo sought uftof, which would give us as sistance from elsewhere and enablo us to oontrul at least our interests in th? conven tion. ' ' i*..' Votbb. For Tho Oas6Uo. TheLlbcrtles of tho People Endangered* In Republican governments the political power fs vested in the people,7 and this po^er Is oxerqisod by them through the ballot; and through this instrumentality thoy delognto authority to individuals to enaot laws for the protection of their per sons and property. This delegatod author ity is strlotly guar clod -by Constitutional rostrlotlons and limitations. Tho Outside prouure of a hostile National Administra tion, Which for party purposes enfranchised tho negro and Injuotea the raoe issue into politioal elootions in tho South, hu oausod tho development of new methods of dele gating power whioh are not guarded by such restrictions and limitations.

Tho State Executive Comtaltloo had no right to authorise the Convention to nom inate State offloers. ' And, if suoh right hfcd boen delegated by the peoplo, it was re voked" by instructions to their delegates given at the County Conventions. The ex* eroise bf rights by the Bute Convention not delegated to thetn by the pooplo is a serious menace to the right* arid immunities*'of tho (Alliens, and the acqulesoenoe of the peo ple Is an evldenoe that suoh usurpation is becoming f\miliar and is more the rule than Jhe exception. This apathy on the.patt of jhe elfotor fo^bodes danger to our institu Hons", and indicates on the part Qf the peo ple a hopelessness of the suOoestiul reals tanoo to maehiae rule In1 polities andkeloo lions now being inaugurated. The ques tion of Jurisdiction (or deoldiog the right of the Convention to make nominations) could not properly bo deolded by the oor\ 'fentloa. The only quostlon they oonld en tertaln (rh to their Jurisdiction) would be the question of whether or not the authori ty to nominate Bute offloers had been dele gated to them by tho people. This ques tlon.WM dlscuised. and Jurisdiction was esjMnifd without any oltf ft to delegated au thority; and ih* only issuo Joined by tbo Advooates and opposets, of exerolslbg the right to nominate, was etpedlenoy. The people had deoided even that question b*. fore the Oonvention mot, oe is evidenced by their Inltcuotlng their delegates to op pose Juno nominations. Our Couuty Convention exeroised iU del egated authority fa deciding the question of the mode of making nomination for Coun ty offloers} and, le it strttige that the Con vention doolded Inltsnwn favor, and against the direct participation of dhosiog County offloers. The Convention did not eubmit the question to the people?they decided It Without consulting the people, and in their ttgUanoe is the prion of Wbortv,j aud If It le net exerolsed by the people in restricting the notion of our Contention, the liberties of the people will Ptjj* thslr authority be treated with L4 '"**-y'1 *???????" ??*.???*>?< ?** ?
