We re garded it as bOPPlise we deemed it no longer necessary for the purpose it was then • intaided—.-namoly, , the over throw of the Deinoemtie party. We do not say this be l 'eaus6 we have been told that it was' the object in view—we have never been told; so—we say it because we believe it. to hate been the policy adopted by the opponents of the Democratic par ty to defeat it. 1 And ire will go still fur ther, and say, that we rejoice in the glo-, rions result of the policy. We have been educated respect the action of par ty Conventions--to regard that action as finid , in its ilea blicilh,•. We have. always told that if aptly wild be strong it must be unfted—and that when a PAPP repudiates the action of a party conven tion, he repudiates the party represented by it. 'lt is for this reason that convent 4'o are t lO l4l nweii. , '"44:llifirratutise the chi* of 'candidates—and from its simi larity i 4 principle to that of our system of government, the, Convention system derives its popularity and weight. There ' fordo we are Om it par attachment to the miens, however much we may differ fit= theforner policy of the l liaper we control, Ar hoirtier widely 'we -maydelart, from thejleretofore necessary policy of the pax ty 41 which we claim , to be the organ in this county--and -We further desire it particularly anderstoell that we have not, aril wit? not, advocate any - ogler than that we, deem most prudent, and which will best conserve the interests'of the i Republican perty—wbicli we believe to be the truestrepreientative of the pep , ple. In view of the fact that the major- ity otour party is composed of t - hoe° who repudiated uther *ties' on the ground that they could ncit awallow,the principle of Slavery—net, because of pplititudunt-, bitionrideern the Convention syitteni beat adapted. to its'present condifiniti-ifor thit rasert . _ that. there is all the;Oeiede mend for a harmonizing medium. Again, all who have - Witnessed the potency of the Repudiation system in overthrowing party organization, sit evidenced in thesuceess of the Republican party In this County, wilt agree with as insaying that the Conk iention system is necessary the - future well-being and strength of the party. Itir. Perry take s oocision - to dranra com parison. betwee4,hithielf and the, entire Republican party (of which, by-the-bye, he doss not,oh, to be a conservative or even a positive memher--eu the other hand claiming that ha duly sets with it because it comes nearest to the mark of his ultra anti-slivery sentiment) and cit ing its repadiation of the Bred Soott:De cision and "the Fugitive Slave: &vf 7 s similar in principle to his repudiation of the nomination of Mn, OLMSTED. There. is a vast difference bet Ween principle and interest-1n comparison which it is only necessary for our readers to institute to see at once that-Mr. Perry's claims upon Republican' votes are of the fraileat na ture. But it is not our Purpose, in this article; to combat with the history Of pol, hits in Potter county, as given by Mr. Penn for we said in the outset that we are not "posted" . in regard to it., audio.° not entirely willing to aeoept.Mr. Perry's version of it, though for the aforesaid rea son, we are compelled to to In closing his letter, : Ur. Perry desires us to see ourselves pia tt very , -perplexing dilemma, and coolly inform pi *at: our relertie is only _obtainable through a pro found silence 'in this contest, - (advice which is very easy to accept five or six days, before, election'—particularly - by the editor of a weekly newspaper, the latest ' number. of which is published nearly a week previous to the election,) and by voting the independent ticket. This lat ter dose of advice we cannot 'accept, be cause neither'our political or personal in 7 tegrity will allow us to vote a ticket hay.. in the majority of its support from a par ty with which we are battling, and which support, though perhaps not dir' eotly - so,L Baited by Mr. Perry, he invites by his repudiation of Mr. Olmsted's! nomination. And, in conclusion, we would ask of every Republican in the county, his ap probation or disapprobation of our policy, though we cannot hope to have an ex- I pression of that in the present contest.— 'Many of cur readers will not see this ar , title until after the election. If we are, not to be bound by the action of our con ventions, it is high time that conventions were entirely dispensed with—for, where lin does the party derive any strength Or benefit from their action, if the Repudia tion system takes precedence ? There is no half-way system in the matter.. If we have a pasty organization at all, it must be complete, and harmonious to be sue eessful, If, All the other band, we adopt tips policy of Mr. Perry and his friends, we at once commence the ebb of our par ty glory and strength, We have Dot room nor time to pursue this Matter fur ther, and we reluctantly cloie with the assurance to QAT readers that the subject as presented in Mv, Perry's article, ad mits of a much wider scope of argument than Ape newspaper article will admit of I —even iu replying to specialities, hope those interested in the cause, of Education will cheerfully re spond to the following call of our County Superintendefit.
