NATIONAL CoEvENrIoY.-lth has been proposed that a
convention of the Jackson Republican party should he
held on the 2eih of May Baltimore to nominate can;
dates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency AZ The t
election This proposition is receiving some attention
and may probably meet the wishes of a majority tits
certainly necessary to adopt plan for uniting the
strength OF the party, and for preventing the divisions
the Wings are trying TO fomcnt. None anpcars 10 us
more 'gloe 'nan to meet in Convention provided the
democracy can be fully fepresened-tlerc frank ami
lree+y 10 ge aud opinons-and finally
TO present and recommend candidates who from tn;r
tlehs' PuDc services and virtues, may be found the
most worthy of such distinguished honors the most
likely to succeed ~
If the voice of the party thus or in some other
way concentrated, shall fall prey TO divisions md
the election be brought again in9 the House of Repre-
sentatves to be decided by minority or by ntrrne and
corruption To avoid these evils little time is to be lost
Already the Opposition laying their plans at Wash

commit him beyond retraction, without re9ard 10 con
sequences. For ths gentleman we have the most sin

ton, for The first second office of the Government we
should warmly support him. But we ceprecatc tJ,c
uVsi0h OF our strength or the election Of any man who
Is TO be brought III by Wing votes It's effect would
be 70 throw him, however unwlngly into the arms Of
our opponents, and to compel him rely on them for
supporting the of his administration Fver Ia;
cabinet must be taken from the motley party 10 lie
would owe election and thus by slow DEGREES bsca
snes night assnllate to notions Tbis
necessity weapbt not, would he deeply deplored bv
jugs " e as by any other sincere friend the present
Administration and yet he would be compelled to bend TO
the force OF circumstances if he is elected without the
concurrence OF majority of the party to which e be-
longs The same thing might happen if the friends of
any 0tSerll emocrGtc Republican should prematurev
press his reosons before the people have had an o-
portuny to meet through tAer- DelegatcS-to hear to
weigh and to decide.
Thus thinking, we are in favor of Convention. and
for ITS meeting as speedily as circumstances and the ex-
tent OF our country viii permit. III it is meet in
May, we ought TO appoint delegates from this county
possible. 1t is entitled from lis strength
and it devotion the cause TO be one of the rst 10
'tenth legion and by the ether counties adjacent II
is considered by friends that each county ought
as III the last Convention held at Baltimore to an
point separate delegation Of four FIVE; and
IL has been suggested that arch colyi would
be favorable time TO hold meeting. On that day the
county convention meets nominate county candidates
and is quarterly court may expect considerable
assemblage of the people. Those who could not attend
might, at their precinct meetings the fourteenth
instant, appoint some gentlemen to represent them
and thus all parts of the county would be heard
AZ the April court the elections on and nothing
could be done in concert on that day The May
large nm assemblaee Of the people; and no other OPP
portuny would oceur of having respectable meeting
without Inconvenience, before the time proposed for
the convention .-Shouldt be postponed to a later day
than the both of May, Che delegates might be appoint
cd to attend it, whether held at that time afterwards
We therefore, invite the friends Of the Administration
to take up the subject promptly.
