Whig Convention ian Mississippi.
1t has been proposed to hoi I Convention
Of the Wing party at Jacksoni. on the first
Monday 10 May.
OF the policy Of holding Co nren'lon, we
have little doubt, but we very m ueh question
tho propfiety Of convoning it at 80 early a
date, Indeed we are Of the opin.ou 70 hold a
Convention Of the Wings at the tim 6 proposed
would be decidedly preiudcial to The cause,
which every Wing has most at heart IN the
approaching State Elections, that Of crushing
the disgusting monster REPUTATION. There
Is doubtless. a considerable majority in this
State, who ere opposed to the dishonest and
dlsgracefsl doctrines, which are sought 10 DO
fastened upon the country by the managers o.
the Locofoco Convention, which was held at
Jackson en- the 22d ofFebruary last, bCt this
majority is composed "a well Of Bond-paying
Democrats as Wings, and there mus: be a
cooperation in their measures to defeat the
set who are equally theobisc Of disgust and
contempt to each. For DE Wings alone 10
attempt 70 remove from then STATE the oppro-
b,um that Is attached to her NAME and, by
their unassisted exertions, to endoavor 10 clean

a fJui,less efIart, and would have the injurious
effect Of fixing the impression that they are in
a hopeless and rremcdiable minority. L is
much better 10 merge for awhile the dauuc-
tion of parties upon Federal politics, and band
together as allies against a common enemy,
than BY keeping closely drawn tho party lines,
which divide Wings and Democrats, force
numbers Of the latter from the course, which
they arc strongly inclined to pursue at the ap-
preaching fan elections. Whilst in the eiec-
ton of194l, we lost some Of our strength up
on the question Of Reputation we gained no
accession from the ranks Of the Democrats;
however strongly opposed to the doctrine in
many instances, they either remained neutral
, or gave their support to their party.
At this time the situation Of The Democrats
is totally different, ant violent and rancorous
ieelings Imposition and hostility have arisen
in tht ranks The cauldron is bub5ling.
and dc inherent ingredients are seeking their
own afinitieA A large and highly respectable
portion Of this party arc disposed to unite with
the Wings in opposition to the RePudia,0rs.
Their union on this subject has no connection
with heirpolilical opinions on others. But tie
Wings are a powerful party in tho State, con-
y tending for grand triumph Of their genera

: the Wings, who arc more numerous, can afford
