FLAVOR CK OOS4 ELECTORS.
Tne filan ol choosing presidential
electors is undergoing muuu u"
at present by the, press,an4 politicians
of the NorthTJntil:4at0ly the fact
had been very nearly forgotten that
the constitution granta to the States the
right to have iheir electors chosen by
the LegirlatuW br directly by tlfc peo
ple, according as they may elect, and it
is seriously proposed by some, of the
Republicans of New York to vest this
right in their Legislature; as a irie&n
of securing the election of Republican
electors beyond cavil. rAs matters
stand there is grave danger, as they are
ready to acknowledge, that they will
lose that State and by consequence the
nation (N?), and this is a device to save
themselves from what they evidently
fear is otherwise the inevitable.
Though it is written that this system
of choosing electors is lawful, it is one
of the unwritten laws of this land that
the presidential electors shall be elected
by the people themselves We do not
consider this question in altogether a
partisan light As matters now stand
the Democrats would have very nearly
equal chances with the Republicans for
the election of the President next year,
but fhe"fectitudebf such ah innovation
(and it is an innovation, though prac
ticed by a few of thelites' before the
war,) is to be considered by the peoples,
divested of partisan prejudices. This
would be a step looking to the transfer
of power from the people to their offi
cers, and this is to be opposed by pa
triotic eopl& regard less of party.; The
people nVBarready delegated -enough
of their powers. Those that remain to
them should be held as with a death
grip. This is the only safety for our
institutions for the perpetuity of tms
as a republican government. Should
the system ; indicated be instituted in
New York1, a like result would of
course ionow in estates wnicn nave
Democratic Legislatures but which
are doiibtful on the popular vote.'With
the power to choose electors, would go
from the people still other powers, and
at last we should have left no more
than a semblance of republican govern
ment, if so much. Let os hope that
this un-democratic,- i tin-republican
scheme will be discountenanced by all
liberty-loving people, in the State of
New York and elsewhere.
"SUPPOSE."
In the last issue of the Southern
Home the following reference is made
to The Obsebver:
Suppose Messrs. Caldwell and Cham
bers should go to Statesville to live, as
they say they will, and suppose the peo
ple should take it into their heads to
send Mr. Jones to Congress he has
said he wouldn't have the heart to re
fusethe puzzling question would then
be, who would run The Observer?
We thank our contemporary for the
opportunity of saying that The Ob
server is an institution in Charlotte.
It has grown grey in its journalistic
life, in the service of its people, and
will be still an institution, when the
heads,-of those who now control it lie
Deneain tne soa. its editors or mana
gers rjfay ichange, fcutat will move on
with the "current t,f events, and each
day's issue will continue to be a pano
rama of the incidents of the day before,
as far as this is possible. Under, jts
present management-its every issue
throbs with the healthy pulsations of
journalistic life, and we can only prom
ise for the future that its existence will
not depend upon the will, the power or
the ability of 'ah'y one man. T Ithks1 al

Speaker remarked, "Mr. Speaker, I can

before seemed to mistake him for

somewhat similar figure, replied that he

tangle in the House, tabout ten days
