Ii will be seen, that the Central Committee
have recommended to the party throughout the
State, 10 hold Convention in this city on the 22d
OF February next. The object is to appoint dele.
gates 10 the National Conveution-to form a
ticket oil Electors, and to organize for the Spring
elections.
There is no diversity of opinion in the Wing
party respecting their candidate for the Presiden-
cy aud, therefore, it i unnecessary 10 incur the
trouble Of appointing delegates by Districts.
As the National Convention will not have as.
sembcd. twill be necessary To appoin, ticket
to vote tor the nominees or incur the expense and
trouble OF second Convention. and that ut too
late day Tor the Electors TO take the field, with
effect.
From information from various parts of the
State. we presume the proposition will be miver.
sally accedod to, and that the Wings in every co,,n.

gates to the February Convention.
By that time, we hope to have our Log Cabin
