Democra,ic sta,e Conveution.

Negligence If the Slate Central Committee-The
State Sentinel is trying to awaken the Central Com
mitee 10 a sense of their duty in regard to making
call for State Convention TO nominate candidates Tor
Governor and Lieut.. Governor. No steps have yet
been taken towards efeciing this object by the COM
mitee-and as the State Sentinel thinks that some of
them may have forgotten that they either belong to
the committee the democratic party, II publishes
their names 10 remind them Of the fact that they at
least belong to the former Our party has long been
and still is cursed with set Of treacherous drones
living in and about the capital yet Notwithstanding
their notorious unhtness, they somehow or other
always selected to occupy those places of trust which
ught to be filed by honest, energetic men. Public
sentiment demands radical change in this system !:
and therefore hope tie convention, III appointing
new committee, Will be careful to place none but
''gOod men and true on it If expect any thing
like an efficient organization of forces must
have active, energetic officers in whose fidelity and
frmness we can place implicit confidence:
That a convention viii have to be held there can
be no doubt; and that it Will lie held on the 9Th jan
uary is almost certain. We therefore recommend
the COUNTY Committees, without waiting for the tardy
action Of tie State Committee, at to call county
conventions for appointing delegates and we would
further recommend that the delegates be fully instruct
ed to oppose the appointment committees of any of
the DULL sleepy, indifferent treacherous old gentle
men who have hitherto msmanaged the affairs of our
party The reign of the Old Hunkers must be brought
to a close. The Young Democracy, who regenerated
our State, demands the selection of officers from
among themselves-men who, Ike themselves, will
put their shoulders to the wheel-and in whose acti-
vty patriotism, and integrity, the utmost confidence
may be placed.-Fort Wayne Sentinel, Oct. A.
The formation of the present State Central Com
mttee, by the way, with the exception o. three men,
bers, was the hdndeork of A. F. Morrison. To Sc
cure committee which should suit ham little better
than that of the previous years, he prepared list
HIMSELF which was adopted by the State Convention
without general suspicion. His object was seen
through by a few, however, and on motion of DR..
Ritchey if we remember right, some additions were
made TO Morrison's list. We believe that there never
yet has been full meeting of the committee, and
further, that there will be- We therefore re-
peat the recommendation 10 the people not TO await
its action but proceed the election of delegates
to the State Convention which Will certainly be held
this winter Il is of vast importance that the people
should be fully, faithfully and strongly represented
for the action of the Convention will have much In
huence, for good for evil, upon the future pros
perity of party and the State. Let the people,
take care therefore, to send members to the Conven
ton whose chief desire shall be the ascendancy OF
HONEST POLICY. That done, and there is no danger.
