It is our object to show flee propriety of this measure of presenting irefere the people, the candidates to be sup ported by the Democratic party. The usage or custom took its origin with those illustrious or admired Democrats who havesone before us. but 'who have passed efr the stage of action, and whose example it becomes us to regard with great atnctuess. It was a plan then looked upon, as pecm Maly 'appropriate and suitably fitted to a Republican form of government, and as the &ay 'mode by which a fair expression of the sentiment of the people could 1* obtained '1 in regard to the choice of , the majority in Um selection of a candidate to he supported 1 , by the party. It was a plan never regret. , ted in stay instance, but tended to secure that union and harmony of action which Mg alwsyt -attended that good old rarry, terwillich our fathCrs belonged, the princi ples of which they lahored to hard to trans- Sit to thoseltrho should conic after them. Tee, we sey,fellow Democeats,it is • planotud *OW only plan,by which we can obtatn anent j • ily of feeling ani united action, and secure • to the cendidato the entire vote of the party. Mau we have principles at stake, in the triumph of which depend the imilikty %Lod ' 1 .welfare of ties nation, and the prosperity and happiness of-the people ; and in is hose Wird, result evils of, the. /most. enormous character, and disasters of the most appal- , fin ituailltia, It is proper, it is nght, in the Isteation *public agents to carry out those prieciplos, that we should untte as one man, , leering Bret ascertained through the nit ef expression of public sentiment; the in dividual upon whom the friends of those priaaaildeluxialti- rally -unbroken and u n Wei= Jed. This system is proper, not only to the choice of individuals, with whom are to he entrusted the affairs of the nation, but like lAN in those of leas important stations ; be nsc by virtue of this plan, we acquire a knowledge of the popularity of the candi date, his character, and capahility for the -floe; and it Nrnishes an opportunity to canvass the claims of the respective if candi dates, and thus sleternime upon the one moat deserving, most competent, and least objectionable, and upon whom the majority Would most satisfactorily alai safely unite. In the selection of a candidate fur Chief Ma gistrate of the Union, thin system in peen girlY.intilispimsible, and admirably calcula ted to condole° to our success ; we ,thereby bear from the East and West and the indi vidual under these circumstances nomina ted cannot fail of receiving the support of the entire party, as whose candidate he was announced to the people. It prevents. di vision and disorgameation, which whenever they exist, tend to the injury and defeat of the`popular candidate. Se, in We choice of a toverner, we hear froM all quarters of the State. the People's preferences, their recommendations, their wishes and their sentimanta fully, and by giving proper con sideration to them, the decision thus formed is generally'concurred in, and sanctioned by concerned ; whereas, regswilean—of , tlus mesas of obtaining the true sentiment of thapaetyi were divided perhaps on several candidates, neither of u-horn can receive the popular vote, and which would indubitably remelt in the election of another, in whostfa rw it is evident the majeray, of the people ware not, and against whom it was equally pliin the majority of votes were east. In rqprd to our member/3 of Congress, and the tenure of onr State, to whom are entreated the enactment, of our country's laws, and the guardianship of the people's inturasts, the grog mithud should be obser ving Wall gigot, ana acceded Co, ever, 111 firs Is air choice of county officers, this phistlif &tai to have been practiced and en odiftkid In early days, and not neglected in lat timed: have already remarked, it,seoures orgwniiition, perfects harmony, antresidtts in the sheeersfht and prosperous wild•forWftioti it was designed.

'The late Presidential ennva , ;s ' involved the whole subject so far as it nas propel for comoderation by our people, and we can perceive no utility in its re-discus , ' sion at this time : nor any other good reason forsrempcning debate upep it.

IVe believe there is a considerable 011ie I opinion against the propri , dy of executive candolaten appearing at all before popular Meetings to solicit votes. This wasedirst racticed by Wm. solicit- Johnston 111 1818, and hiss been, to some extent, followed by can didates since. The geed results of it are not obvious. ht did not originate fitnin thel Deintienitic party, nor has ft ever received any formal, popularur party sanction. It may, therefore, be considered ao open goes- non in tbe future practice, and at all events, as forming no part of the duty of a canch-1 date imposed upon him by his nomination While your opponent holds the office of! President Judge, dare is especial objection to the acceptance of his pror.t. The pm prlety octave . pniges taking part in political meetings is denied by our patty, and is op. p aged by sound public opinion. ply no act whatever ought, we to sanction, or become participants, in a prostitution of the judicial olovrablet. Nor will a resignation now made altogether relative this objection.— ), our opponent has intentionally held his office until within three month , of the elec tion, (rendering It implesible To elect a site cessur,the present yes?,) and if a resigna tion should now take place, it would obvi ously be with the intentiOn of resuming the office after a defeat for...ate poet-to which he aspires.
