The question, when shall the National Convention
be holden, will be decided, as tar as The voice OF tns
State is concerned, at the State Convention. Shall
the National Convention be held in November next
or in May, 1874? Our opinion is, that It should be
held in November. Many others say, in May The
people should instruct their delegates in this matter
In our opinion, it is of considerable Importance
The Democratic party is variousIy divided os TO The
