Rum—The races on Thursday, Fridny
and Sn'turday of last week Were more gen
erally attended than we expected. Indeed,
we had no idea there was such “ running"
spirit pervntling our community. Brit few
horses were entered or contended for the
purse. On Thursday, a race between L.
Ensign's horse Frank and a horn entered
by Mr. Pom: was won by the latter.—
i'l‘ime not reported. On Friday, Mr. EN
lsmx’s horse Frank and Axum-2w J Clint
usn's horse lilo ran for a purse of SIOO
- bunt—nhirh val won by Vela in 2:27,
lending Fran/c about sixty feet. On Sutur
tlay a citizen: purse of SIOO was run for,
by Mr. Wmu’s horse —--—, and [l. Wm
!son’s horse —-—, which was the most ex
‘lcilit-x of thin, the first, meeting. Both
thorscs ran nonrly neck nndneck until roach
;ng the lust qnurter polo, when Mr. 3Vl}:-
isox's horse took the loud, and came in in
:fiue style in 2:20, loading Mr. “Man’s horse
{about ten yards. A number of “ scrub
iron-cs" nlso took place on each of the above
idnya nml were the source of much amuse
itllt‘lll. The betting- wnsnnimntcd, but very
‘SIIMH. None seemed inclined to invut
much on “ an elow and uncertain horns."
Next year we are promis‘ the homs shnll

posed of members Mrflom of kat'e“
ecntutivea; the call bgpg for the puffiml
of nominating condi tea for the various
onto" to In titled in the Ram. - In thnt
report there are portions which are inter-l
rect. also portions that or. correct. . The
first and lecoud resohxtious, also M r. Wood’st
Ind Mr. Shead's amendments are correct.‘
But when he states that Mr. Shem] tic-3
cepted Mr. Brownt‘icid’l amendment, he is
.incorreet. Mr. Brownfield ofi'et'ed the
Inmendment as noted, but it was ruled out
of order hy the Chairman. Me (Mr. B.)
Ithen requested 'Mr. Sitcod to accept his‘
iumrndtnent, which request Mr. She-ad re‘
fused to grout, not us one might infer from
his statement, that it. was accepted before
being rend, or that. it was Accepted; butt
after being considered it was rejected. Hot
further stntcs that Mr. Wood'u amendment,‘
as nmcuded by Mr. Shem], we: adopted:
This was not. the case, Mr. Wood’s amendg
ment was adopted; after which, Mr. Sheud's
amendment to his (Mr. \V.'a) 'ntnendutent
{was adopted. But the resolution, as amend
ed. was not adepteJ. Again the Seeretafy
lltutes that Mr. Wood moved that the res
uiution, as amended, be hiid on the table,
[and that "we proceed to the nomination of
proper pnrties to fill the various oflices."
"Said motion adopted." This is another
alight mistake. There were two separate
motions—the motion to have the resolution)
luid op tho tnblo was first made, and ear-i
ried. ‘
I Then the motion "to proceed to the nom
ination of proper parties" wus made, pond
ing which molinn Mr. She-ad moved to ad
journ; which motion curried.

I certify that the above is a correct stale
meut of the proceedings of said mucus to
the best of my recollection.
I G. K. \VHJARD, Cbairmun.
I have been induced to make the forego
ing nutemcnt solely with a view of correct
in; erroneous impressions which have ob
ltnined circulation from the report of the
proceedings of the caucus nbovs alluded to,
as given gunnuthorized by the Convention)
through nts Secretnry, Mr \Vood. Thol
,proceedings on reported by him, I beg
leave ‘to say, are not tuned, and Mr. Wood
linens it“ The published proceedings will
be found imnling the signature of the chair
man of that caucus, who declined signing
the same—on application—fur rensous of‘
the inaccuracies as above mentioned, and'
i Mr. Wood know: t/u'r also. i
1 And now I desire to any a few words inl
;jus:ih'cntion of the amendment ofl‘ered by me
im thnt caucus, which I hope will justify me‘
‘(hefore democrats) in the put which I
itook in that caucus, but has made me the!
subject of ridicule by some, and of derision
jby others. 1 claim to belong to that class
of democrats who recognize past and prmntl
deeds as n voucher of good standing with}
the party, for whom no honorably conductedi
couveulion could make it selection: which?
would not ever meet my hearty npprohn-i
tion. With such alone do I desire to act,|
and being satisfied that some were present]
whom I could not recognize as Democrats;
-—either from principles or practice—who:
hnd repudiated n support of not only thel

Edilur Pioneer and Democrat—
Sin:—As a‘~l)emoerat, I am a husband
and father, and as such I desire to present
some suggestions in regard to a Homestead
Law, which seems to he contemplated byl
our present Legislature. I shall not assume
that I possess the capacity to designate the
particular form which statute law on this
,suhject should false. I urge that the law
‘for homestends may be secured to the heads
lof familits, and that the public may ascer
ltain front there-cords what. estates are ded
licated to homestead purposw, and thereby
withdrawn from the reach of creditors, as
[I am the poor man’s fritnil, whilst. he is
,stemm'ug the tides ofnucertuin'y upon the
wings o.’ expet tatiou. .
Every well informed man understands
that that people are most independent anl
loyal. among which the facilities of acquir—
ing real property extend alku to all, and
where the form of its voluntary transfer is
most. siuiplu. The history of the feudal
system, as contrasted with modern theory
and praqricr, "10-VI abundantly establishes
this proposition. Formerly the feudal pro
prietor took up arms in defence of his sov
oreign, and his vessels followed him to thel
field because they were hidden. The hia—
torie page of later times glow; with ac
coun's of deeds of daring and valor of those
who have entered tho lists in defence of
their homes, their fin-sides, and “to” prin
ciples which independence and selfrelianec
beget and nourish.
. The strongest element of the English
Crown, today, is traceable to national in
debtedness. Millions are shareholders in
that debt, and interest makes every creditor
a vigilant supporter of the debtor. Cou
vert English bonds into English homestcads
for Englishmen, and the .Cro'n would rest
[upon a basis as much more secure as there
is difference between reality and chattles.
Mankind is selfish, and the defence of
9’3“th and propir y is prompted by a nat
ural instinct. 'l‘lu: motive for defence is

‘ To say that real estate is pro-eminently
thi most secure of any class of property, is
but to repeat what, eVery child understands.
It is equally true that there is no class of
property to which men, in general, become
so much attached. Real estate is conser
vative; so is an independent agricultural
eomruuui:y; so are the-woodman, the peo
ple of small towns and villages. Not so
much so, by far, are overgrown eities.——-
They are subject to quasi revolutions,
which ever and anon burst forth to disturb,
distract, and degrade civilization Itld eiv
ilized life. Tile reasons should be inquired
for by law-givers.
Besides, there are considerations, alone

upon this subject. To the toiling father,
to the frugal mother, there is no property
motive in life so strong to guide as that
,which is directed to the ucqnircluent of it
‘little spot which shall serve us the abiding
