ed will of the whole party. We are satisfied that, as true democrats, that both Gen. Con way and Dr. Chapman would withdraw, pro- vlded a new convention assemblies, represent ing fully the wishes and feelings of the peo- pie, and makes other nominations. But we now declare that if the people refuse, or fail. to hold another convention, that we shall give to the nominees our cordial and hearty support, recognizing them as the choice of the democratic party Our position, then, is simply told in few words. We are for car rylng out the wishes and feelings, and will. ot the majority of our party, and we are there fore ill favor of the people in each county holding primary meetings, say yea or nay to the nominations already made, and selecting delegates to attend the new convention. pro- vlded 1t should be determined npon to hold new one, which we think desirable. even if the present nominees should be confirmed by the primary meetings for then re-nom- nation by full convention would remove all and every objection, and allay all disun- ion and strife, and unite the whole party as band of brothers.
 The prominent democrats of this county are about equally divided on the subject of holding new convention, and they are about equally divided as to their choice for Cover nor and Representative to Congress. Those who are in favor of the present nominees are willing, for the sake of harmony, or at least portion of them, to another convention. while some are for holding new conven- tion in order that other candidates may be selected
 There will be meeting of the democratic party of this county, at the Court House, in Helena, on the 22nd day of this month, for the purpose of responding, yea or nay, to the nominations, and also to express their views as to the propriety of a new convention. and to transact such other business as the inter- ests of the party may require. We say to the democrats of Old Phillips, one and all, let none stay at home let each one feel as if the success of the party depended upon his individual exertions, and after the primary meetings have spoken their will, let their del egates, fresh from the people, from every county in the state, meet in convention at Little Rock, on the Sd Monday in April, to carry out their will, and we think that suc- cess cannot but attend their acts and doings. we Sdy3 iet uie COHfeHtlOH pc q Iull One.- Let it be real mass meeting of the democra- cy, for better not to attempt to hold another one, unless 1t Is full one And until anoth- CT is held, and other persons selected, we shall recognize the present nominees, and give them our support. We publish the letter of Gen. Conway, by which 1t is seen that he is willing to submit the whole matter to the consideration of the democratic party, and that he will submit to whatever is done by them. We say, then, let the convention as- semble; let the whole state be represented. Let it be real gathering of the sovereign people, and let the nominations fall upon whom they will, they will be enthusiastical- ly iece ived and sustained at the polls. We lave no controlling preferences for any indi- vidual or individuals, but leave the whole matter with a majority of the party. We have no man to present from the Esat to the consideration of the convention, and we care not from what section of the country the se- lections may be made, the nominees shall have our support. But more upon this sub- Ject anon.
