The Arkansas banner., 1844-03-13

szzx sss legates as they please, because, as to the mat ter of voting in the convention, that can be easily regulated But dbore all, let EACH COUNTY BE REPRESENTED, and one advan- tage in selecting many delegates, IS, that Ii aH cannot, some will be able to come, and render what aid they can in glorious and just cause.
 Enthusiasm is something in these things, and numbers will produce that feeling. The delegates being thrown together, and coming from all parts of the State, will become ac- quainted with each others views, and be bet ter enabled to present a solid phalanX to the common enemy. By holding a new con vention, see every thing to gain and noth- ing to lose. No man, whatever nominations may be made, can then impute any unfair ness, whatever, or raise the absurd and sense- less cry cry of Little Rock diciation; and he who would then do it, would show himself actuated by low and selfish ambition, which would entitle him to place in the whlg par tv. know that there was no unlarness III the last convention, there was no Little Rock dictation about 1t, and am therefore anxious that there should be new convention, Tn order that these unworthy accusations may be forever silenced. If there is new con- vention, it will be well; but if there IS not, or If 1t should not be larger than the last, by which mean, if there are no greater number of counties represented, let no democrat say that the present candidates are not the choice of our party. Those who believe that there was any unfairness, or that better nomlna- tions could be made, have every facility of fered to carry out their views, and if there Is dissatisfaction among the people at large, they can show 1t by their action. and will do so. The ..Banner," the leading democratic paper in the State, advocates a new conven- tion-its columns are open-the time was fixed by others, not by us, and ample time too for action The ''Arkansas JournaP' ad- vocates the measure, and the prominent dem- ocrats hereare in favor of it-at all events none are opposed to it Chicot, Phillips, Sa- line, and suppose Scott, Conway and Craw- ford, have selected delegates, and Pulaski, know will be represented; now, if with this start the convention falls through, it will be conclusive proof that the people are satisfied with the nominations as they stand ; Ill fact, It will be tantamount to a direct and express confirmation of those nominations.
 Now, think 1t to be matter of no great moment as to the men nominated, provided they are true democrats, and a choice of our party of course, if the present candidates are not the choice of that majority, and oth- CTS are selected, they will yield willing and hearty acquiescence, because any other con- duct would show that they are actuated by selfish motives, which am bold to declare, is not true Should there be a new conven- ton it's deliberations need not be embarrass- ed in the slightest degree, by the fact that nominations have been made; because l am sure, that the candidates themselves would not desire it for a moment. The only inqui- ", therefore, will be, ''acho are Inc choice of our party, ,cho are the best calculated to Serue Us in luis contest p
 As have already said, am pretty well satisfied, that the present nominations will be confirmed, but whoever the candidates on our side may be, am one of those demo- erats, who, will give them warm and zeal ous support, and one of that kind, who would vote for personal enemy, if his principles were correct
 am candid 10 own, that tic only plausi- ble objection have heard againt the pres entcandidates for Governor and Congress is, that thelr avocations have been such that they are not accustomed to public speaking, and therefore not calculated to meet skillful and practised debater on the great political ques tiohs, which agitate the country. There are no doubt, men in our party, better fitted by study, habit and practice, to discuss these questions but some of these men would not run for any office, owing to private consdera- tions, others perhaps would not be choice of the party; and therefore adhere to the opin- ion that under all the circumstances, no better nominations could be made. may be mis- taken, but this is my judgment. ' ct to have another convention or a failure to hold one, will demonstrate eonclusively whether am right. Give the whig candidates all advan- tages, let them speak from north to south and east to west, and now and then throw in song, and even if the democratic candidates choose to stay at home and say nothing, we can then beat'them thousands, as time will am- ply prove.
 PULASKI county ought to take some hand in the matter, and select delegates in case there should be a convention. l would sug- gest that general democrstic county meet ing be held in this city on the SECOND SATUR- DAY IN APRIL, for that purpose, and that all true democrats will make 1t convenient to attend, not only to transact that business, but also to select county candidates, if il should he thought necessary and hope and do not doubt there will be full meeting
