The general observance of this sound
maxim would save a world of trouble to pol
iticians, but they disregard it entirely, and
<ro off, to use a homely idiom “ half cocked”
whenever a movent tit is 'guested for pub

seem to ‘jump at conclusions” withs hound,

Hill, and lion. A II Cob|uitt, —all unex
ceptionable men, but inctt ol too much good
*en?e, we take it, to accept a nomination
made in such a manner.
Keep cool, gentlem n, lot us discuss the'
Question a little We have over a month’'
time to meet the isoie, and it tit ■ appoint
nicnt of delegates is to he mole hy the press,
or hy his excellency, the Gov r ten days
will suffice tor the purpose. But if the
people are to act advisedly, wo would sag
cest the first Wednesday in August as the
proper time. This will give three weeks
time for examination of the question, and
two afterwards for tae g dug-forward of the
delegates.

beg leave to call the attention of the Radicals
to various symptoms of a disloya. spirit ex
hibited in the Southern States on the 1.-st
Fourth of July. In quite a number < f places
there were demonstrations by the newspa
pers and among the people in favor of the
Great Rebellion 6f 1770. The names of
G. Washington, ringleader of the insur
gents; T. Jefferson, red waistcoat fnan, and
author of the Declaration of Indpendeiu e,
so-called; Patrick enry, who wanted
“ Liberty or Death G< orge Mason, and
other notorious and acknowledge i reb-’ls
were 'eulogised in terms which sho - that the
spirit of rebellion -is not 'jet crushed in the
old hot-bed of the American Revolution.
The inclination to distinguish the Fourth of
July from other days still prevails among
the descendants of the men who raised 'heir
hands against the lawful authority of King
Georgs, aud stripped him of the brightest
