it is thence the interest of the opposite
party to prove the pandidate unfit or un
wortly,as a means of defeating his party.
The incessant warfare on -Ca ii i .enemt
a Roman Catholic, and with respect to
jtis nativity, &e., are recent in:it:tin:es of
this. Who now pretends to believe Col.
P.' a ii,oinan Catholic ? Who cares one
brass Mutton whether he is or not? Who
)telieves he was horn is Canada, or else
where out of this pup tr' ! Yet the jour
pals hostile to his election blazed for
yeelo in 1856 with certificates, letters,
affidavits even, intended to make the sim
ple believe the lies which the knavish
bad invented to, raise against. him the cry
;of foreigner and 1.30.th011e. Had he been
arie 4n/Qhg Savr,ral persons whom the
Republicans were snpperting for the Pros
ideney, there would have been no motive'
fur, no temptation to, this wretched (dee
tioneering slang. Yet in fact the last'
pa.uvass was half given over to just such
appeals to popular i g norance and stupid
ity.
Whatever tends to preclude such
appeals hereafter, by 'rendering them un- i
protinable, will be a positive gain to the
hole country, in giving dignity to any
political discussions and confining them'
svithau legitimate channels.
*gain: There are several among our
Ftatebtneu for whom many citizens would
Ri'adly vote, but they_ are not permitted,
Pr enabled to do so under the Convention
eystem. Judge )I . l.ean may lie cited as
sin example of this class. So long ago as
04 there were many who desired to,
fupport him for President. So late as
1856 7-twenty-four years later—he was
vartaily 4:0 formidably - pressed fur the'
13.epuhlipan tlun;ination. We do not say
}hat he would it } any case have been a
,!
ftroil% or a weal; candidate, .nor that he is
Imre or less capable and worthy than
those who have from time to time been
preferred; out we do say that the fact of
sneh preference proves neither that he
pas Less deserving or less avi t ilabie than
those who have from time to time Leen
nominated over hint, but only that a ma
jority of this or that Conventioti lzve
'thought so. What opinion was held by
the great body of the People in thit sub
ject, our current political machinery was
not calculated -to discover. And what
was true of this machinery in the past is
true of it in the future as well.
j,et us suppose for one moment that
the managing politicians of all parties
were really desirous that the People should
ecieet as well as elect the President--
should decide not merely between the
candidates of the great rival parties, but
should actually desimnato those candid-
xtes by their votes. Does any one be
lieve that there would be any difficulty in
Visaing effect to that desire? Consider
I ttmt the three first Presidents were chos
e without -the intertention of any Con
vention or Caucus machinery whatever,
ea 464. the unquestionable first choice
of a majority of the People at.the time of
h 1 electiol. The nest two were desig
nated respectiFely by a Caucus composed
of tip Members of Congress of,the then
dominant party; but this machinery ut
terly broke down , in the attempt to elect,
,a third, and was abaudi*.ed—we trust for
ever. Then come tyvi? Presidents—J. Q.!

aid -of any Caticus cr Convention ael

Therefore, when this two legged thing
came up, there. was a row in the Office,
and the magnates ordered her or hint or
it to go about his, her, or its business,
and pifintealy declined to issue any
fers Patent whatever, thereby establishing
it as a li.;ed Net that no "nirer" could

HON. JAMES FI. REAGAN, a member of
Congress from Texas, in a recent speech
to his constituents, expressed the follow-
ing opinions
"There is Mexico, now disrupted by
dissensions at home, and in a state of an
archy, lying a prey ready to be seized by
any Power which may wish to do so. To

Government that, dog-in-the-manger like,
it will not take charge Of her, nor allow
any ether-Power to do so. But if a bill
should be c46red in Congress to acquire
