WING ORGANIZATION, CONVEN.
TON, &c.

The Missouri Statesman copies the com
munication of our correspondent "W,'
on the subject Of selecting Delegates 10 the
National Convention, which is to be held in
Baltimore in May next, and makes the fol-
lowing remarks, which we publish, in order
10 let our readers, and the wings in this
section of country see the tone of other
wing papers on the subject. We should
prefer the selection Of Delegates to the Ma
sional Convention, 10y Districts, as pro-
posed by our correspondent. at as early a
day as may be convenient, leaving the mat
ter of a general convention and thorough
organization, for future agitation and dis
position. OF this, however, more hereafter:
Although the subject suggested BY The above
communication and editorial remarks from the
Times" has net an investigation from us com.
Inensurate with lis Infinite Importance we have
only time aud space this week 10 give our opin.
ion, deferring the reasons in detail for another
period.
Those who have read our paper at different
periods, nnd especially during the last canvass,
are aware Of the fact that, touching party con-
Tests, we are STRICT ORGAEIzATIoEIsTs. We
hold, as we have ever done, that no political
party OUT of power can attain the ascendency
without thorough organization, no more than one
rs power can maintain the same, without the
adoption Of the same means 1t we're an idle
task, yea it were perfect inlatuation itself for
the Wings OF Missouri to expect political tri.
nmPh in IA, or al any other period, without
timely and thorough organizaIion--an oIganiza.

abstract question Of organization. We intend

Of Boone, and OF the whole State, in due season.

and hearty fight, and against all sham battles

Inefficient mimicry, deceptive, ill.timed discip

us surrender at once before the first fire, and
submit st discretion to the mercy Of the foe
There's no use in Fighting, unless we ALL fight
and ALL fight like heroes.
AS 10 the question Of District Conventions
relating to which the Times" asks our opinion
we have to say that, whilst we are welded TO NJ
particular policy, and wiling to concur in the
best plan to attain the object in view, we do
not re gard the one suggested as the best plan.
II We mistake not the tone Of the Wing public
and press in Missouri, it is in contemplation ,c

course.
To make this policy and design efficient ant

We are in favor Of Convention Of this charac

will be held, we believe that delegates to repre-
