The Convention after due deliberation nomina ted JVlr. Arrington and we submitted, with whit graoe we could; to tho will of the ma joriyV Ale yet believe (maugre Tosnot's bold assea lions to the contrary ) that a large ma jorify of the people of Elgecombe are for a Convention. We know the veteran lea der! of this county welt, and cannot for a moment believe them ,uch schismatics as Tosnot would have as to do. Any reflecting mind, it seem. could see t a? glance the impolitic course Tosnot rec ommends Mr. Toole to pursue.

A s'rongOr case must lie made out against them ihan is made by Tos not," or they shonld not be called upon to even answer any of the heavy accusations which are brght against ihem by him and we are-sarry to say, endorsed by you. From the tenofoif t'osnot's" csmmuni cation it would seem to be his opinion, trut a majority of the delegates in that Conveii tion should -have decided who should be the candidate, without any regard to coun ties. Bat let us see how th t would have worked, and see iff inhere would beany fair nes" in that. By tre statement contained in TosnotV eommunication, it appears that Bean fort had th'irty delegates in that Convention, whitet all the cou.ities of Edgeeombe, Na'h, Pitti and Craven, had but twenty-seven. It as thus to be seen at i single glance, and by the most simple statement, that if a hare majority of dele gates were lo control the nomination with out any regard o counties, that Beaufort with her thirty delegates Would have out voted all the other counti-es represented in the Convention, and thus single-handed could have eontroled the whole mattt r W owltl this have been right? would i there 1- I md mm mm nave neen any lairness in thatr would it haveAheen right and propfcrthatj Beaufort should h tve earned into the Convention more wi ighl than the counties of Edge comb Pui, Craven, .and Nashi united, when Gdgecombe alcifte polls nearly or uite thie times as many democratic Votes as. Beaufort Yet to make good his accu sation of wrong, Tosnot-' must assume this revolting proposition. Why in, that vvay and according to that doctrine, Beau fort would always appoint the nominee. The Convention being held in Washing ton, as it always will continue to be on ac count of its central position, Beaufort wi have nothing to do but appoint all the de mocracy ol the county deleg ites, and out-vote all who may find it convenient to come from the leiuote counties. j! In that Convention each county fepre Senled was allowed to vtvt a minv vnlc as she had election districts; thus Ed ire combe gave 17 votes, and Beaufort 14, and so on with the oilier, counties. Even this arrangement was most highly favorable to Beaufort, because by it Kdgecombe was enabled to give, but three mote votes than Meaulort, whereas she had three times as many democratic votes By this arrange meht Beaufort and Pitt, which were the only counties which voted against Arring ton, gave 26 votes 9 more votes than Edgecombe gave; whereas Kdgecombe gave nearly or quite as many democratic ivoiesas ooin ueauiorl and fit t united.

Feb 2d, I&45. 94 To the People of Edgecombz. , - Mr. Editor: VVe propose to address through the columns of your paper to 'he people of Edgecombe some considerations, which in our estimation should determine them to favor the calling of a. Convention to nominate a candidate to represent this jr.- .1 r .... uisrrici in in next congress. 1 here are numerous general considerations which ad dress themselves with, great foice to the people of our count v, which should in- "Cline her in our ooinion to be disoosed. 1 nay, anxious to go into Convention. It will be rememfeered that fust before and up to the time when Mr. Petti grew was elected to represent the old district, Kdgecombe had uninterruptedly enjoyvd the honor of furnishing the Representative ortne sixteen or eighteen ptevious years. Edgecombe was then accused by the ene mies of democracy of dictating to the oth er counties of the districiParrti this seeming Imposition of hers to monopolize the rep resentation was referred to in conobora- tion of the; charge. Hy a dextrous use ol that accusation, thereby appealing to the pride and independent feding of -the other portion of the district, our opponents sue ceeded n uniting with them enough de mocratic voters to return a federal Repre sentative to Congress, And from that time until the alteration of the old arid the formation of the new district, our oppo nents succeeded in returning their candi date to Congress.

If Edgecombe agrees to meet her ister counties in Convention, and there submits to the judgment of the delegate- assembled from every portion of the district, a name within her limits whose talents, arid availa bility cannot be questioned, - and who proves acceptable to a majority of the1 dele gates, there can be no room for Cavil or dis satisfaction. He then becomes not the candidate of Edtnecombe,bu. the candidate of the Party, and will receive, so long as called out in that vvay, the hearty support of the whole party, liut depend upon H if 'Edgecombe persists in naming the can didate, without consultation or adiisemeut with the ' democracy of the remainder of the district, we fear the most seriou4 inju ry to the cause. . . The democracy of each county in the district fchould feel that they stood in need of the co-operation of the democracy of ev ery other county, and that without this co-. operation pur cause must go down. This co operation, cannot long be had w ithout each county is allowed to participate in bringing out the candidate who is to repre sent us; and this participation can only be had through a Convention, where all may be represented it they desire. The ve v success ot democratic principles in this dis trict depends, therefore upon the display on the part of Edgecombe of a spirit of conciliation and concession, and a disposi tion to advise and consult with her sister counties. AW the while, however, we have been penning these suggestions here set forth. w could not but feel that our labor was all lost we could 'not but feel that we were doing injustice to the Gibraltar of De mocracy,'? in intimating in the most dis tant manner that she was meditating any other course than what would most cer tainly secure the union and harmony and lasting interests of the party. VVe really feel that we owe her sterling, sons an apolo gy for harboring a suspicion even, that her citizens were unfavorable to a Convention; and we know that but for a communication in a late .number of your papfer over the signature of Tosnot," we should not ha ve allowed ourselves to doubt her soundness upon that point.
