THE PRESENT CONVENTION SYSTEM EXPOSED. Independent Views on Politics. Ho is willing to trust tiie People. Austin, Texas, March 22th, 1860. To Messrs. John W. Harris, “) Dan’l D. Atkinson, ! Galveston S. Carrol Smith, f A. S. Ri thvin, j Texa3 ’ Gentlemen : —Your letter of January 20th, was was received in due time; but owing to a press ol official duties, I have been unable to answer it, un til the present moment. Aud in fact, even at this time, such is the complex attitude of our State af fairs, owing to the Indian troubles on our border and tiie condition of our Treasury, that I will not be able to devote that attention to it, which I would desire. In your letter, you desire to know, whether 1 will permit my name to Ite need an a candidate for the Presidency, before the Charleston Convention ” and solicit a frank expression of my views there upon ; and I will stuie that numetous letters from various parts of the Union, have reached lire, mak ing the same inquiry. Disposed at all times to give a free expression to my views, I slmlljeaudidiy meet the question before me. Nor will it be amiss in me, to glance at the present condition of our politics, their tendencies and results. The grand idea of parties, as maintained by the great men of tbe past, has been destroyed. All those absorbing questions of fiuance and govern ment, w hich rallied around Jackson aud Clay, the patriotism of the country, differing as to the best mode of advancing the national interests, yet all striving to accomplish that end, are lost sight of. VV'e are drifting onward in the march of extrava gance and corruption. That which pertains to the whole country, commands scarcely a passing thought, while that which pertains to each individ ual section, is a theme of distraction. The democratic party, which eight years ago carried its candidate into the Presidency, by an overwhelming majority, is divided by factious.— Coalitions formed with men of more ambition than patriotism, have broken down the old land marks. National men have given place in sent inn. I tors. I’iuciical natioual questions have given way to abstractions. Slavery agitation has been renew ed in Congiess; and the great work of the pacifi cation of 1850, has been undoue. Sectionalism has been tbe canker-worm, which has feasted on the party, until its vitality has been well nigh con sumed. It is needless to define, at any length, the various heresies, which distract the country, each claiming for itself the name of Democracy. They each have their peculiar advocates and are suited to peculiar sections or isms. Whether known by the name of “Squatter Sovereignty,” or a Congressional Slave Code for the Territories, they are alike opposed to the true doctrine of “nou-interveutton,” aud calcu lated to renew and keep alive the dangerous agita tion of the slavery question, which both the poi lilical parlies were pledged to resist, 44 under what ever color or shape it is presented .” Then come j all the shades of di.union at the South, —men who have been the advocates, of re-opening the African Slave Trade—men who sustain the secession or disunion scheme proposed by the Legislature of South Carolina —who have counselled extreme measures for more than a quarter of a century aud j who in the garb of democracy, have used .til their energies to. promote the work of disunion, and prepare the way for the erection of a South ern Confederacy, upon the ruins of our Constitu tional Union. The Charleston Convention is to behold these elements—“black spirits and white, red and grey,” —conglomerated.—Men, who have devoted their lives to the service of the Constitution and Nation al principles, are to behold the humiliating specta cle ; and their sentiments and councils are to be trampled under feet, by those who go committed to doctrines subversive of the'Governmeut and the rights of the people of the States. In olden times, there were no conventions, but those designed to form orgauic systems of govern ment. As men became more aspiring and less scrupulous with regard to the impulses of patriot ism, and determination was evinced to sacrifice great principles in a general scramble for place and power, a desire was manifested, to adopt some means by which public opinion could be concen trated upon certain individuals, calculated to be its exponents. The caucus system was introduced.— After its practice for a brief period, its tendencies were discovered to lead to absorption of political power in the hands of a few, to the prejudice of the public weal. It was repudiated and the spontane ous will of the people, after being fairly called into action, placed Gen. Jackson in the Presidential chair. lie had denounced every thing like caucus dictation, as degrading to American feeling. He was elevated the second time, when the first at tempt at the convention system was made, and Mr. Van Buren nominated as Vice President on Gen. Jackson’s ticket. Gen. Jackson refusffd to allow his name to be submitted to the convention, prefering liis election to come from the people. This was the first in doctrination of national politics with the system of conventions and platforms. It has obtained from that time until the present aud has been subject to a continual degenerating process. At that period, I was not a resident of the Uni ted States. After the annexation of Texas to the Union, while a member of the United States Sen ate, I was, in common with my colleagues in Con gress instructed, iu 1848, by the Legislature of the State, to attend at Baltimore, as a delegate to the Convention, which there assembled and vote the sentiments of the State. We acted iu accordance with our instructions. From that time to the pre sent, my name has been used before Conventions, both in this State and at Baltimore, by the direc tion of the State Legislature, without any contri vance of mine, or without my having been consul ted on the subject. My reason for acting in the Baltimore Conveu tion, was, that it represented the democratic party, the party to wh ch 1 had ever been attached and with w hich 1 had consistently acted. As my view s were National and my politics embraced the Un ion, w heD sectionalism began to absorb all nation al issues, I set my face against it, and which in violation of the pledges the democratic party had made the country, the Nebraska and Kansas bill was introduced as a democratic measure, 1 refused to vote for it. For this I was proscribed and my name held up to censure. The name of democra cy was invoked, with tiie patronage of the admin istration, and the denunciation of every dema gogue North aud South arrayed against me as a traitor to the South, aud an abolitionist. Upon that 1 have no reflections to make. Tbe past and present unhappy agitation on the slavery ques tion, and the disruption of fraternal feeling be tween the North and the South, would seem to manifested that 1 was not blind to the consequences of that measure iu my resistance to its adoption. Since then 1 have deplored the misfortune of the country, and that Legislative construction was substituted for judicial action. My earnest hope is, that as no possible benefit resulted to the section which I represented, no ultimate evil will befal the whole country from its adoptian. 1 have iu the past acted witli and stood by the democratic party ; but it was a national party.— With the trickery and scheming, the bargains and sale of conventions, I have had nothing to do.— The evil effects to the country of disregarding public opinion and putting forward the choice of politicians, has been seen and felt by good men of all parties. At first something was due conven tions, because they to some extent represented the people. They have degenerated into assemblages, the majority of which represent nobody but tbe hangers on of towns, while the bonend sinew of tbe country, are led to acquiesce in their action, under the pressure of the sectional question which now divides the country. Nor are these evils less apparent to a host of good national men, who form a minority of conven tions. They cling to the hope tb *t their presence and action will eventuate in some good—that they may act as a leaven to the lump ol corruption and restore the days of patriotism and honesty : but 1 calTsuch to bear me witness, when I say that their{cffectsjthus far have been unavailling. They are still hoping, and though 9ucb is not their object, they contribute vastly to the perpetuation of the corruptions, to which they are opposed. Tbeir names and virtues furnish the drops upon which poliucuoi rest. Tbeir association gives character to the proceedings and though their counsels are unheeded, the dictum of conventions, often wins the respect of the community, lroin their connec tion with them. Many such, anxious to escape from the evils which afflict the country and restore harmony and peace, yet regard this, as the only inode ol embody ing the public sentiment and are ready to attempt the system, void of its abuses; but they will find that the political atmosphere must first*he purified by a grout upheaving of the masses. Laudable as their object may be uud pure as may be their mo tives, they will find that the corruptions and chi canery, which have characterized the proceedings of conventions, have so disgusted the people, that the moral force of their resolves will be lost.— The popular chord, when touched aright, will vi brate in harmony with the Constitution and the Union. 1 have laith enough iu the masses, to be lieve, that they will appreciate a confidence in their power of self-government and that ere the fatal hour to our liberties shall come, they will, moved by a sense of danger, take tiie control of the nation lroin tire hands of designing politi cians. The fact is current that the people are ignored entirely by politicians, when the chances of Pres idential candidates are summed up, and he who has at his command, the greatest uumber of clique leaders, is regarded as certain of a nomination. This is not to be attributed either to the failure of republican principles of government, or a want of patriotism, on the part of tiie people. The principles maintained by Jackson and fiis com peers are eternal. They inav siuuiber while the war of factious is going on. The serpant of sec tionalism may crawl stealthily toward the altar of our liberties, but when its head is raised to strike down the Constitution, and perhaps alas! not un til then, patriotism of Jackson, will, even from his grave awaken and arouse the people to a sense of their danger. Troublous times are coming, when, unless the people, in the majesty of their natiou alitv, go forth to battle against corrupt cliques aud ambitious agitators, the days of the Kepufiiie will be numbered. Had 1 for a moment supposed that the Conven tion System would ever have degenerated to its present condition, I certainly never would have entered one. They are now inconsistent wiHi the genius of our government. If it is to be-conduc ted upon principles of self-government, it pre-sup poses capacity sufficient for that purpose and that there is a public sentiment, which properly ex pressed, is to form a rule of action. There must be some mode by which that nubia* vUrntimont dial! j i/c expressed, it is true; but Conventions having failed to express it, we must look to the ballot box in the formation of conventions, public sentiment is not regarded, nor expressed ; but cliques and management and chicanery are resorted to as sub stitutes for it. It is declared by the advocates of Conventions, that their object is to give expres sion to the popular will but the effect, as well as tbe desigu is, to control the popular action.— Hence it is the highest privilege ol a freemen, is consigned to the keeping of a few crafty aDd de signing politicians. Thus, nominations are made and platforms originate aud are declared the ortho dox sentiments; and he who does not stdjmit to this dictation is to be proscribed. In the construction of platforms, the first thing considered is, how he can host contrive to gull the people, secure party success and distribute the “ spoils and iu their arrangement, the effort is not to announce in bold and unmistakable terms, doctrines, w bich will touch the hearts of the mas ses and convince their reason, hut to express in ambiguous language, ideas subject to different con structions in various parts of the Union and calcu lated to deceive. The qualifications of a candidate are not con sidered, nor whether he is known to the nation, or has done aught to advance its interests; but is he available 1 If he is, the end of party is se cured, and there are always on the spot, the lead ing men of delegations, friendly to hint, ready to give pledges, who united, nominate the candidate and endorse him. Pledging all the delegates who enter the Convention, to support the nominee, that independent action, so essential to freedom is destroyed. No independent man ought to accept a nomina tion, accompanied by any platform, with which his previously entertained opinions, are iu conflict. — If his feelings are natural and he has claims upon the confidence of the country, the nation must know what his principels are, and if they are proper, they surely do not require the endorsement of a Con vention to make them pass current with the people, but their intelligence will enable them to judge.— And again, if an individual accepts a nomination of a party, under these circumstances, he could not be President of the nation. He must select his Cabinet from the members of the party. He must make all his prominent appointments from the party, allow party leaders to select them. Ne matter what the merits, —no matter how patriotic and in telligent an individual may be, uuless he has “voted the ticket,” he is to be excluded from office and his merits and claims disregarded. A man who w ould consent to be a mere tool, because itsecrued him the Presidency, does not deserve to be the bead of a nation ! Unless he reserves to himself the right of remaining free and untrammelled from all pledges, except his official obligations, he will never be able to control the destinies of this great nation ; and if he would give a single pledge to se cure the presidency, it is conclusive of his want of merit and he deserves to be repudiated. Though the nation might accidentally prosper under his administration, by its mere self-sustaining powers and the onward spirit of our people, he would ever foel that he was degrading the post he occupied, an!f the adulation of parasites would be a poor re compense for the forfeiture of self-respect. If a President is to govern the nation, liis coun sellors should be chosen from the nation, and since party names have ceased to represent principles, ho who is elevated to the Presidency, should regard it as a whole, and calling around him those who have been true to the Constitution and the Union, and with the Constitution for -his foundation, he should endeavor to rear a structurejglorious to his country and perpetual as his race. If the origional idea of Conventions was to con centrate public opiqion, that idea Las been lost sight of. The representative character has been abandoned and the effort is made to create, public opinion. A slavish subservency to arrogant dem agogues, in the leading strings of cliques, has pos sessed those who aspire to office and favor is sought at their hands, rather than of yhe people. The result is, that tiie bold spirit which once character ized our statesmen is cramped they should stand the sentinels of liberty aud drogress, chalenging the admiration of the world for the beneficence of our institutions, or announcing national doctrines iu keeping with their expansive spirit; but bound withiu the scope of platforms, they dare not jeo pardize party success, by the enunciation of aught that is new or startling. Politicians no longer take the lead in the path of progress and enter prise. No great measure, is proposed by them.— They are content to be at a stand still and enjoy the spoils ; and when the masses have shown their determination to achieve a result, as was the case with the annexation of Texas, they step iu aud con vert it to their own purposes. A statesman elected to the Presidency of these United Slates, should enter upon the discharge of duty, bouud withiu the narrow confines of no plat form, to serve the purposes of success, but subject to be construed to suit the views of every faction and section. He should have doctrines, clearly euunciated, bold and independent. Stand ing upon the Constitution, he should embrace in his grasp, all that tends to the welfare of the Amer ican people, the expansion of American institutions and the defence of American honor, no matter from whence thy assault might come. What party, what platform will sustain such a President? Who that regards the true policy of our nation can fail to 6ee, that humanity, liberty, American interests and security, alike demand that our gov ernment should extend a Protectorate over Mexico ? Politicians may shirk the issue ; but destiny will force it on our people. It cannot be averted. It is our duty to civilization, to stay the hand of ra pine aud murder in that country and to establish regulated government there. It is our interest to put its resources in process of development and open the country to trade aDd commerce. Cursed by anarchy, its vast wealth lies dormant. Estab lish order and its beautiful vallies, will give forth abundance, its hidden mineral wealth be revealed. Our security alike points to this as the only mode by which we will be free from the invasion of band its or the concentration of influence there, to us as a nation. Looking upon this, as the true policy of the United States, I believe that statesmen should lend their efforts to effect a consummation so desir able to humanity, so important to our safety. If not done legitimately, aud under the Natioual aus pices, the restless spirit of our people cannot be VOLUME XXXVIII.—NO. C. | es* rained ; but it will push westward and accom (jlish that which timid politicians dare not achieve. Surrounded by the minions of party, tied to a Meaningless platform, compelled to consult the sue cess of the party, rather than the welfare of tho country, what humiliation would fall upon a man jt nerve and patiiotism ? And should he attempt o act as duty would dictate, and Sampson like, >rcak the withs that bound him, no uniliguity L&s •et been inveuted, which would exceed the hostili v with which tltose who but yesterday sought his favor, Would pursue him. \\ bat hope can the country have for that great enterprise, a Pacific railroad, so long as the pros- Int thirst for spoils, control politics and all the ants of the country are made subservient to slavery agitation ? \\ hat guarantee for protection can the citizens of our border have, so long its sectionalism arrays the people of the North and in conflict, and they are taught to regard each other as enemies ? What hope for American expansion, for the progress of American liberty, can till the heart of a patriot, as be beholds tho only land where freedom has maintained an exis tence, given over to sectional strife ? Foreign ves sels may insult our flag, as they have doue, they may tire into our vessels within sound of our fort;., they may build up a strength at our very doors, and while the great heart of the-nation is strug gling for utterance, throbbing wildly at the re membrance of the wrong, our National pride must be bumbled, or vent itself upon some sickly fifth rate power, because the counsellors whom party has forced upon the President, have not the cour age to stand boldly lorth and vindicate the honor ot their country at all hazards, nor he the nerve and discernment to point the way! Whai independent man would be such a Presi dent ? \V ith the Constitution for his guide, lie should be trammelled by no party pledges. He should enter into no bargain with political cliques or party leaders, whose corruptions must be cloak ed and who must be retained in office to save the party the odium ol exposure; and who, when they could no longer impose upon his friendship, would turn their traitorous fangs to bite him. He should recognize no affiliations with men who have been untrue to the Constitution in both sections. He should accept no favor at the hands of such. Nom inated by the Charleston Convention, he would en dorse the heresies of each and every faction com posing it, and a horde of these men, who have been striving for years to denationalize the demo cratic party, until they have reduced it to a com biuatiou ot factions, would stand with their eternal w.tvp oi* ** natvllß, *in fhp Ufujr - • *•; .IJUI.CVU3 CU* ueavor of his administration. Contemplate the scene now spread out before the gaze of the American people ! The Democrat ic party, no longer represents the principles, which secured its triumphs in the days of Andrew Jack sou. The Whig party which also had its triumphs, no longer maintains an organization. The great North, which eight years ago rallied with enthusi asm aiound the Democracy, is in the hands of a sectional party. Congress, the arena of sectional wrangle, w hile politicians are engaged in the task oi President making ; and senatorial caucuses in accordance w ith centralizing tendencies, are arrang ing Platforms, still further to take the power front the hands of the people. \\ bat is the test ot strength ? Is it asked with respect to a candidate: Is he the choice of the people ‘ Not so ; the people are kept in the back ground to do the bidding of politicians and he who can eecme the most of these, the people must vote for. With the lact that almost every Northern state is lost to the party by this denationalizing process, the country is expected to stand still, and let the crisis come, without making one effort to avert it. What hope can lie, who is nominated at Charles ton have ot calling forth the conservatism of tha North, to sustain the Constitution, and the Union, when his very nomination would carry a pledge to place in power those who have already been untrue to it? W hat hope, I say, would he have from the North; for it is well known that the South is consid ered as bought and paid for by the politicians and they have the receipt. It has been made the scape goat so long, that it is deemed there is no escape for it now ; and no matter what dangerous heresies are personified in the nominee, the South must support him, in obedience to conventional dictation, under the sham pretext that it is the only course by which political salvation can be secured ! If my name should be used in connection with the Presidency, tbe movement must originate with the people themselves, as well as end with them. I will not cousent to have my name submitted to any Convention, nor would I accept a nomination, if it were tendered me, and procured by contriv ance, trick or management. If such a thing were possible, that I could be elected and not in harmo ny with the voice of the majority of the American people, I would not hold the position a single day, but retife to private station, solaced by self-respect. Thine trulv, SAM HOUSTON. U. G. R. R.— Miscarriage. —The Under-Ground Railroad attempted a wicked-sell on the branch of the Adam's Express located in this city. One of its (Under-ground Railroad’s) agents—one Nathan James, a iree mulatto—last Saturday morning, went upon the Public Square and called a dray be longing to Mr. Parrish. Then conducting it to his domicle, on Dederick Alley, he placed on it a W box, the largest size of square boxes used is pack ing dry-goods,) addressed to “Mis. Hannah John son, care of Levi Coffin, Cincinnati.” About 10 o’- clock, A. M., Saturday, the package was shipped. It was proceeding with express speed towards the expectant “Mrs. Hannah Johnson,” when, at Sey mour, Indianna, the box burst, and to the Express Agent’s astonishment, a live negro, Alex, property oi McClure, Buck & Cos., of Nashville, was found to be the contents. The Agent nabbed Alex, and telegraphed to his owners. Alex is an able-bodied black negro, a tinner by trade; and had he reach ed “Mrs. Hannah Johnson,” would probably have left Messrs. McClure, Ruck & Cos., or the Express Company, as the law might have decided, out ot pocket SISOO or 12000. The Express Agent’s dispatch gave information as to Nathan’s connection with the U. G. R. R. ; and he was thereupon taken .(yesterday morning) before JosiAh Ferris, Esq., who sent him to jail, in default of a bond of S2OOO for bis appearance be fore the Criminal Court. The negro Alex will be brought back to-dav in charge of Mr. Patterson, Assistant Superintendant of the Express Company. The Louisville Courier says Alexander the black declared, while in custody at Louisville, that a white man, who went on the cars with him, was his seducer and abetter. But the Courier also thinks Alexander is a great liar, from ‘the cut of his gib.’ Probably the Courier’s right about that. Almost any “nigger” will lie a little to save another “nig ger.”—Nashville News. John U. Brotvulow Acquitted. We have received a letter from Knoxville, Ten nessee, which informs us that John B. BroWnlow who unfortunately killed young Reese, in the af fair which took place at Emory and Henry Col lege, Virginia, some weeks since, was on his final trial, triumphantly acquitted. We published the facts concerning this affair some time since, and we came to this conclusion, as did many others, chat young Brownlow acted purely in self-defense. The verdict of the jury is in accordance with the facts, and he now stands before the world, after a fair and impartial trial, as clearly justifiable in the killing of Reese. Young Brownlow bore himself nobly throughout this whole matter. Conscious of bis entire innocence, he voluntarily surrendered himself to the legal authorities, aud passed through the trying ordeal unscathed. His character is as pure and unsullied as it was before the unfortunate act was committed. The Judge upon the bench, the Counsel on the opposite side, as well as the jury aDd the spectators, felt a deep interest in the case throughout the whole trial ; and when the verdict was rendered, the court room rang with the Bbcuts and cheers of the vast assemblage. Young Brown-- low returns to bis home respected and esteemed by his neighbors and friends—in fact all classes alid ad parties speak well of him where be is personal ly known. No young man stands fairer in Knox ville than John B, Brownlow. —Southern Confed eracy.
