the Coapention of Delegates from Ciey C|u5@

Tnr PEopLE's CovyeSrrov.-It is known 10
our readers tina; the Central Clay Club Commit
lee Of the City Of New-York recommended in 2
late address, a State Convention OF the Officers OF
the Clay Clubs Of the State at Utica on the first
Wednesday of June next. This recommendation
was promptly responded 10 and cordially concd
ed in by the State Wing Central Committee, who
issued the call for the Convention in the usual
manner.
We need not impress upon the mind of any
Wing the utility of Convention of this Charac
TEL II is obvious TO all that il mus. exert great,
a good and most importan, inildence upon the
Wing cause in this State, and ii fully represent
ed and properly conducted cannot help but ad-
vance our interests and strengthen our fore 10 Il
degree that few anticipate.
The Convention viii be composed entirely Of
officers of Clay Clubs These Clay Clubs are
composed of the mass Of the party. They are
formed in every county, city, and village OF The
State, and in almost every town and school dis
trict. We expect that there will not be an ex-
ception at the time of holding the Convention
1t is of course one great object of this kind of or
ganzation 10 secure the name of every Wing III
the State upon the muster rolls of the Clubs
Thus every member is made an actor in the
campaign. constantly on duty, and ever ready at
moments call They arc the minute men of
this grca; revolution. Therefore, it is PLAIN 10 be
seen, the delegates 10 the Clay Cluo Convention,
being selected from among the officers OF those
Clubs, will truly and directly represent the voice
and interests of the whole Wing party in the
State.
The business OF The Convention will res: in the
discretion of the men whom the People, in every
County, City, Ward, Town and Hamlet in the
State have elected in their local organization as
their officers, and in whom they put their trust
in the fullest confidence. The rcsuItsof their de-
alterations in General Convention will undouht-
/ cdiy be OF :. nature To advance the interests of
the cause. strengthen the bonds of union, sys-
temize the excellent plan Of organization ROW
adopted, and take measures 10 bring into con-
slant action an individual and collective effort
which will work wonders aud resist all opposl-
ton. These indeed, are the primary objects of
the Convention. 1t is to be strictly a Business
! Meeting. Subjects connected with State nomina-
tons, and other affairs not properly belonging to
such Convention, will not be touched They
should not be. 1t will not be the province nor
the desire OF the Delegates TO transcend the
bounds marked out for them by the osicnsible oh
iects of the Peoples Convention. They will
meet for other objects, ard Will coninc them
selves to them.
We would call upon our Couaty, City, Ward
and Town Clubs TO move promptly in this bust
ness. Ii is time There are but three weeks to
prepare in. The Clubs should hold their meetings
Immediately and appoint their Delegates 1t
will require some time for the Delegates TO pre-
pare TO leave their business for two or three days
and they cannot be appointed too soon. We de-
sire very much to see fully represented Conyen-
ton, for il must be remembered that this will be
one of the most thoroughly popular Conventions
ever held in this State. Composed, as il will be,
OF the confidential men of the mass of the Wing
party in every Town in the State it will there.
