A DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION

| A bf1hO0hAIIC 1Al E. CONNEN N,
 It is, as far as we have been able to learn. the determination of the Democracy of this State, to hold a Convention at Little Rock. at some early period, for the purpose of nominating candidate for Governor, Rep resentative in Congress, Electors for Presi- dent and Vice President, and Delegates to the Baltimore National Convention.
 TAe object is luudabie-in fact it is ne cessary, to insure harmony and success to the Democratic party. All agree, that a Convention must be held, and the only point of difference that can arise, is as to the time. We think it obvious, that it should be held during the present year, and ace would sug- gest, Me FIRsT MONDAY OF DECEMBER NEXT, as being early enough, and as com bining many advantages, which may be emu merated in future numbers.
 One thing is all-important, which is, that there should be the utmost unity among the Democracy-sectional divisions guarded against, and a resolution to throw the whole strength of the party on the nominees, since the Wings expect to profit by divisions which they suppose to exist. We know of none |: few hotch-potch men have left us, it is true. but we should regard it as serious msfor- tune, if they entertained the slightest idea of returning to party where they were the worst of all human incumbrances. They can only create divisions among themselves, which injure no one, and about which no- body cares.
 We shall continually advocate Conven- ton, and 1t Is only the want of space which prevents us from doing so more at length, at this time. We shall, ill the next paper, sug- gest the number to be elected in each county. and the manner of their election; with such other matters as may occur We shall par tcularly and earnestly suggest, that true and well-tried Democrats be selected, to repre- sent the several counties in this Convention. Hotch-potch fellows, halfway Wings, dis affected or lukewarm Democrats, are cer- tainly not the proper materials for Demo- cratic Convention.
