pondent, says that twelve papers are for
the 10th of June, and nine for the 8th
of July. But to make that twelve he
counts the Independent Blade, Times &
Sentinel, and Argus, which he has no
right to do. If the Blade is & Demo
cratic paper, it has got to be one very
recently. It was established as an inde
pendent paper—advocating the claims
of no party—and, we think, it is so yet.
The Times <£* Sentinel favors an inter
mediate day as a compromise, and the
Augusta Constitutionalist says the Bain-
bridge. Argus is in favor of the 8th of
July. We suppose this is as good au
thority as the Federal Union. With
this change in the facts as stated by the
Federal Union and our correspondent,
tile majority will not be for tbe earlier
day, and not a large majority even if he
is correct; and, we think, he is not.
But what we founded our remarks
upon, was saying that a large majority
was for the 10th of June, and taking it
as settled that the convention should be
held on that day. This was what we
called an attempt to force, and, we think,
the facts permitted us to say it. But we
here state distinctly that we will agree
to any time that u 'e think a majority of
aud bruised heads, hoping that the conse- i P ai D Livor, no matter when it is.
We, however, think the 8th of July ear
ly enough, and more convenient to some
portions of the State than an earlier time.
We, therefore, favored it, without know
ing or earing how it might effect the
success of any particular "aspirant, ail we
asked was it right, aud could it injure
