From inc ArcnRSds Journal.

In former number of the Journal, we ex- pressed Our views in relation to the propriety and expediency of the democracy of the State holding another convention, in order to allay all dissensons, and to unite the party so that we could present one solid phalanx to the enemy, who are now in the field ready for the coming contest. It is the duty of every man who prfesses to be governed by princi- pie, and who believes in the truth and jus tice of our cause, to arm himself to action. This is no time for inglorious slumber; we must go to work, and if we are to have ano- ther convention, 1t is time that the people were moving with zeal and activity. Let no county in the State be mrepresented The time we have proposed, to wit, the Sd Mon day in April, will give to every county in the State an opportunity to have their delegates in attendance. The weather will be favora- ble, and let each county send as many dele gates as are willing to attend. In the mean time, let the people discuss the relative merits of the present nominees as compared with other aspirants let them, in their primary meetings, which we have recommended, re- spond yea or nay to the nominations already made, and if they should reject them, let them express their preferences and so instruct their delegates
 But if the people are satisfied with their present nominees, and determine not to hold another convention, why, then let us all go to work against the common enemy, and rally to the support of the present candidates. But we are decidedly of opinion that new con vention, in which the whole State shall be represented, cannot but be productive of great good. It will silence all the charges of un- fairness, packing, and caucussing, brought against the convention. It will restore har- mony in the party, and unite them with such an energy and zeal to the support of those upon whom the nominations may fall, as will most indubitably secure the triumph of our principles. We say, then, to our friends in every county, hold primary meetings, pass your verdict upon the present nominees, send up your delegates with the expression of your choice, and should the present nomi- nees be the choice of our friends, they will be most assuredly renominated, and as as- suredly elected.
 We call upon our friends from the East to arouse from their slumber and their apathy. Our friends elsewhere are moving forward. and let us never be found in the rear when duty calls us to action.

had never been under fire, and tliat the war is new to them altogether, when they shout so loudly over one of those uncertain skir- mishes of outposts, which, while they serve to bring on the general action, afford no indi- cation of the result. But what, after all, Is this victory in Maryland, which causes the coon 10 frisl; The state was gerrymandered 1 by the whig Legislature expressly, no doubt, | 10 effect this result, in order that the whig i Chapmans might have some sort of crow to begin with ssWhy," says the Baltimore Republican, very justly, "should there be surprise at what has occurred, when we saw the cards stocked which won the game" :"
 And again, granting for inc moment that we do lose Maryland at the Presidential elec- ton. we only lose what we never had, It Il may be so expressed. Our opponents have always carried that state i'll the Presidential contest; and, as the N. Y. Evening Post per- tinently remarks,
 "There Is no cause for the whigs 10 eXult, inasmuch as indicates no extraordinary good to keep what they have always had and there Is no reason why the democrats should be disappointed, because they.have not obtained what they never had before, and what they had no right to expect now"
 The hurrah over Maryland then IS rather small business, and the zeal with which 1t is kept mp furnishes strong evidence that the adherents of Harry of the West, notwthstand- ing the assumed confidence with which they are endeavoring to open the campaign, are by no means as comfortable about their own strength as they assume to be, and as they desire the world to believe. The game, as we have already had occasion to remark, is Brag''-brag about Maryand-brag about everything. It is nothing new, however, Our opponents invariably have these costa sies as a preliminary to their general defeat, as all may remember who are familiar with political results for the last twelve or fifteen years. They were always overthrowing An drew Jackson for instance, just as they say l they are overwhelming us now, and very wisely shouted victory before the great battle, as they had but little chance to do so after wards.

 We have the consolation of saying to our friends that New Orleans is .sredeemed, re- generated and disenthralledo On yesterday our election come of for Senator for the Par ish of Orleans to fill the vacancy accustomed by the death of the lamented HoA. This election was in the midst of the Whig Con- venton, just after the glorifcation of Mr. Clay, just after the vast procession of the Wings noticed by us before: just after the speeches of Prentiss, Poindexter and others. and just after the speech and refusal to speak by Mir. Clay. In one word just after all that could be done in the way of parade, and a glorious victory has crowned our eforts.- THOMAS SLIDELL is elected to the Sen ate of the State by majority of 406. We give below the returns from the different wards of the city. Nothing of importance occurred to distract from this victory We feel and trust that the result of this election will be signal and lasting rebuke to restrict ionist of every class.

Pine Btut, Mafch I, lS44.
 Mr. EDIroR-It is only about a month to the time fixed on, for holding new Conven- ton, and all those counties that wish to be represented, should hold meetings forthwith and nominate Delegates. l think another Convention ought to be held, not because there Is as much dissatisfaction as IS repre- sented, but because the other was a small Con- venton, and the idea has got outthat there was some ugglery about it. have lately mixed considerably with the people and they think favorably of the matter, and would like to see another Convention, if for no other purpose l than to ratify the present nominations. As to jugglery in the other convention, or unfalrness that is all stuff; but, owing to bad weather and the like of that, 1t was small convention Now # 1ce can geta full one-allhe Counties represented, t aciH produce iacalcuzable good, and acithout ono our candidates teould run afa- der many disadvantages. From what have heard and seen, have no doubt Desha, Arkan- sas, Jefferson, and Union will be well repre- sented; Arkansas only wasrepresented before. As to other counties cannot speak, because l have not been in them.
 THE THIRD MONDAY IN APRIL is an ex- cellent time-a pleasant season of the year the question canvassed months-all think augur favorably for full Convention If Chapman and Conway are the choice of the Democracy, they will be renominated; if not, others will be selected in their places. How this will be, it is not proper for me to conjecture. Whether they are the choice of the party, cannot believe be well ascertain ed without holding another Convention, and l understand from their letters, that they themselves, desire another Convention,
 Now sir, hope you will speak of this matter occasionally, as you first took ground in favor of 1t for 1t is important to keep 1t alive JEFFERSON.
