VIM CoNvENTIoNs.-We are pleased to
see thd the Wings of Howard and Boone
couples, are moving in the matter of hol.
dirg district conventions, for the selection
OF delegates TO the national convention
ard Tor other purposes. The move should
zoe general throughout the State; and it is
nigh time the Wings of st. Louis were mo.
wing in the matter. ....
ny the way, ought not there to be some
understanding of what counties shall com.
pose the several districts! Shall we take
.he districts as reported to the last Legisla.
'ule' or snail We adopt set of districts

lenlt This thing can only be done by
common consent. AS Howard and Boone
nave already moved in the matter, we would
9e gao 10 know by what arrangement of
uistrlcts 'hey are proceeding. The Wings
ia some OF the counties, are holding back.
because they do not know to what district
they belong, or what county thew must act
with. The Wings of this county will rea.
dily cooperate with the Wings of any 9th
er countles.--Mo Republican,.
We do not exchange with the Republi.
can, and are indebted to a friend for f,r.
nlshlng US with copy of that paper con.
tanning the above paragraph. In reply to
the inquiries contained in the second para.
Pragh, we would remark, that the Wings
in this section of country are governed by
the bill of the last Legislature, laying the
State OFT into electoral districts. The pa.
Pers of upper Missouri have published this
arrangement of districts, and several coun-
ties in this district have already held their
meetings. The Southern portion of the
State is dependent upon the St. Louis pa.
pers tor information, there being no Wing
paper south ofSt. Louis. The Republican
and Era should publish the districts as ar.
ranged by the last Legislature, as that ar.
rangement is as good as any that would
most probably be adopted and call upon
our friends in the southern portion of the
State to bestir themselves. The bill was
published in the Times of the 10th ult
and in the Statesman, Observer, and Ex.
press of subsequent dates, and has met
with general appreciation.

quircr. in an article copied, without com

per 0he Norwich Aurora.) The Aurora
enumerates some five or six high duties to
be discharged. First, the re-enactment OF
the Sub-Treasury: Second, the repeal OF
the Distribution act: Third, repeal the
bill Districting the States: Fourth, modify
the Tariff. The other duties, we give in
the Aurora's own words-as the whole ap.
pear to be adopted by the organ of Loco
Focoism in this city:

DFWe last week gave an extract from
the Lexington Express on the subject Of an
Electoral Ticket for this State. The Ex-
press is in favor Of State Convention for
this purpose. We think an Electoral
Ticket can be filled in an easier and less ex-
pensive manner than by holding State
Convention. The last Legislature divided
the State into districts for this purpose,
and conventions will soon be held in all
these districts for the purpose of selecting
Delegates to the Wing National Conven-
ton, at which an Elector for each district
can be chosen. This we think will be the
better plan for the wings to pursue; but if
upon examination into the subject it is
thought advisable to hold State Conven-
ton, we shall willingly yield our preference.
The ticket can be selected as well in one
way as the other, and that plan which is
the least troublesome and requires less of
the time of the people, should be adopted.
We should be glad to hear from our cotem-
poraries and correspondents on this subject.
The ST. Louis New Era, in noticing the
article copied in our last from the Express,
says: ... ..
1.-THE Lexington Express refers with approba.
ton to the course of policy suggested by us as
proper to be pursued by the Wings of Missouri.
With all that he says about the necessity OF hav

A correspondent of the Pilot. writing
from this place, says the Democrats have
liked upon the first Monday in next month

earlier day was objected to, for the pur-
pose of letting the other counties of the
State hold their meetings first, and then the

about. How very modest is the clique!-

ADVICE TO suNDRY PERSONS.

ADVICE TO SUNDRY PERSONS.
When you feel your passions rising never
confne or repress them How many boilers
have been burst by too close an imprisonment of
their contents? .Htt
Always proclaim the faults Of others. There
should be no secrets in republican government.
Never give up your opinions, though you know
you wrong-it shows that you have no indie.
pendence.
When you attack your neighbours character
do it behind his back, so as not to wound his
feelings. rt
Make il a rule 10 keep company with rogues
and rascels, and then If you should be prosecuted
for an offence you have committed and your
comrades should be called as witnesses against
you, nobody will believe them, and SO you will
get clear. -5ra
When you have done an act Of charity pub
lish it to others--so that they may do so too.
Besides every man can preach best from his
own notes. t" ''t
Never pay your debts-it is unconstitutional;
for payment impairs the obligation Of a contract.
and even the legislature has no right to do that.
Temperance is great virtue-therefore, al.
ways be moderate in the use Of ardent spirits.
Six glasses OF sling before breakfast is as good
as thousand.
When you are in church go to sleep. Sunday
is day Of rest. .-.- -.. .
If a secret has been committed to you to keep.
take special care to keep it safely--and it may
be well for cautions sake, to get one or two to
help you.
And as woman is called the weaker vessel
she should have half dozen to help her. "Fasl
bind, fast find" ~ --.-t'
Never sweep your parlor--it makes con-
founded dust
Never brush down a cobweb-it is part OF
spiders dwelling house. and Of course bis castle.
and therefore is sacred. ..,H,.,
Never pay for your newsPaper-it looks not
ney-he can live on wind.

NoN-RESlsrENcE, HARD DOCTRINE FOR
HoRsts-The attention Of some OF on. Citizens

to accompany their passive friends in little
