WIG CONVENTION.

DS. The WEig Convention which
is to assemble in Stanton on the 25th
of this month. bids fair to be one oil the
largest political meetings ofthe kind that
has probably ever been held in the
State. Already we have heard OF the
appointment! Of delegates from upwards
Of seventy counties. and, as the represen.
tation designated for each is double the
number Of their representatives in the
House Of Delegates, these alone would
give u large number. But no doubt
there are appointments that we have Esd
vet heard of, and that many more will
be made at the Courts in this month. =
With scarcely an exception, alternates
have been chosen, SO that where APP.
pointmentS are made, full representa-
ton may be calculated on. What is still
more cheering. as far as we have obser>
we'd, the higs O. the State are opera
TED on by one feeliag-a desire to dc
every thing in their power to promote
the union and harmony Of the party
Coming together in this spirit, the hap
piest results are to be anticipated from
their labors and we look forward to
their meeting With the most lively pleas.
