ANOTHER CONVENTION.

ANO WIN ibA' &OA''
 The subjoined communication IS from sterling and intelligent Democrat, who has the true interests of his party at heart, and duly appreciates the value of harmony in our ranks. It is prompt and cordial response to the proposition for another Convention. For our self, and for the party, we thank him for 1t.
 In regard to the plans suggested by him, for constituting the Convention, we would prefer the delegation of smasses''-that is the appointment of as many good Democrats, from each county, as can make 1t convenient to attend; each county delegation, however, giving, in the Convention, the number of votes to which the county 1t represents IS entitled to, ill the lower House of the State Legislature. By this plan, a more certain, if not a larger attendance from each county would be secured, than by limiting the de- legation to small and specific number.
 As proper lime for holding the Conven- ton, he proposes the "second Monday in April" We have no preference for any par ticular day; except that it may be one which will giee aU Mc counties full time for deli- berate action, and be most conreniem for tue greatest number. These two points we deem indispensable, in constituting such Conven- ton as is desirable to be held. We first suggested the ssfrst Monday in May" as covering these points, and coming at plea- sant season of the year. 1t has been object ed, however, that this would be 'scourt day." in several counties, and, therefore, inconve- nient for the attendance of delegates from those counties. But this objection applies to each Monday in March, April, and May the only months at all eligible for holding the Convention. Three courts are to be held on the '.frst Monday in May,'' and two on the "seeond Monday in April" The only Monday on which only one court is to be held is the third Monday in May; which, all will agree, would be too late. As regards the conflict with the times of holding courts, then, all the eligible days are alike In this respect, the sssecond Monday in Aprl'' is as favorable as any day, and more so than the majority. If it will give time for action it will satisfy us. The same number of courts, however, will be held on the fifth Monday of April; and as that would give two weeks more time, and be more likely to come in good weather, we propose that, upon a com parson of the advantages of the two, a choice be made of one of them It is obviously necessary that some day be fixed upon, and that as early as practicable. We would pre- fer this to be done by some of our friends at distance--in either quarter of the State. We hope to hear from them. very soon, on this subject, and all others relating to the Convention.
 We do not deem 1t so important, as our correspondent seems to do, that the Conven- ton should be held in reference to the time of the National Convention. That is cer- tainly very subordinate, in its influence upon the interest of our party here, to the attain ment of full representation in our State Con- yention. No objection, of any kind, or from any quarter, has been, or will be made, to the Delegates to the National Convention Besides, those delegates were not instructed, as to their votes; but. left free to collect the wishes of their State, and express them in the National Convention. And that the De- of Arkansas will support, with en- the nominations of that Conven- ton, whether she shall be represented in 1t or not, no man can doubt
 We concur with our correspondent, in de- Little Rock, as the proper place for holding the Covention; because it is more central, and more accessible than any other place in the State.
