 STATE CONVENTION,
 We publish, in to-days paper, the cemmu- fation of Union, to the Van Buren Intelli- hcer, on the subject of Democratic State Invention; and ask for 1t an attentive peru as it places the subject in proper light. We are certainly not aware of there being k opposition to a Convention, among true |nocrats although the disaffacted will Iubtless throw every obstacle in the way. ] e whigs of course would prefer that none buld be held, because it would utterly de- by their hopes of success.
 |Weohave suggested that 1t should be held l the first .Moaday of December aeat-that be composed of Sepenty5fvc delegates, |ich is the number of representatives under last apportionment act-that each county Id as many delegates as she has represent |Ees, under that act-that county meetings the selection of these delegates, be held, at least the first Monday of November Fuing; and that every county be represent- lin the Convention; and to these views we l adhere, and trust they will be carried out the democracy.
 |fhe influence of Convention upon the )ities of the State, will be inealculable, and lw broad and deep line in party organ |tion, which will enable Us to detect and pmteract the schemes of those who are th us in profession, but in practice against
 our principles.
 In truth no party can reasonably hope for ceess, without organization of the most eff tive kind and 1t must be conceded on all nds, that Conventions like this are the best ponents of the will of the people. inpoli- $, that will is law; and the only question that , ever be presented for debate, is, how it } best be expressed.
 It is only by a Convention-a body which ptains delegates from every part of the |te, and who are ready to make such con- |sions or surrender local preferences, as the pse seems to demand--a body the very or Pization of which supposes that the voice the majority is, for all practical purposes, voice of the mhole Convention, for surely to acquiesce zealously and heartily in lat should be done, would be disorganiza- h of the very worst description.
 It is a matter of great consequence, that 'Fayering democrats should be chosen as egates, if we desire that the same kind ould be nominated by the Convention, .or
 different stations. The man who nas netimes advocated democratic, sometimes lg measures, will not do--the man who Is himself democrat, and yet is in favor a national bank, will not do; hotch potch n will not do-disaflected democrats will do, because, with regard to the latter, it y be said that the very fact of their being lred, is conclusive proof that they do not
 from principles-and to endeavor to win m back, is not only fallacious hope, but worth the pains,
 The delegates should come prepared to ,e into consideration list, the nomination a candidate for Governor; End, candidate Congress 3rd, three electors for Presi nt; 4th, three Delegates to the Baltimore lilonal Convention 9th, to express their elerence for President and Vice President; h, to adopt such measures to secure unity
 shall seem proper, and to transact any her business that will tend to promote the elfare of the party.
 We hope and trust that every democrat 10 wishes well to his party and to his prin- 'ies' Will not permit this subject to slum- f' but on the contrary, use his exertions U Influence to have |" long pull, strong ll' and pull all together.''
 NAToR FULTON, AND THE LAND BILL.
 Tn tue month of June last, Senator Fulton, and his league, Col. sevier, of the Senate. and Judge 0ss' of the House of Representatives, were re- 'ctyely invited, by the citizens of Fort Smith and n buren, to visit those places, for the purpose of 'sohaiy Inspecting the public works in that quar- o' the State. They accepted the invitation; and uie month of August, the Senators went there for purpose indicated, but did not meet, as they had peesea rom the premise of their colleague, with ase cross, who was, they understood, detained at
 ne' py sickness in his family. Their visit be- hins known through the whig papers of the State,
 , were invited, by their friends in Washington, spn' Madison, Carroll, Marion, Izard, Independ- 'e Lawrence, Randolph, and Jackson counties, 'isl1 them, before returning home. They accept
 aso' these invitations and were in all the coun- 'eovc named and made speeches in all of them.
