THE CONVENTION.

Presidential Electors, meets at Boonville
on the LIST Monday in April-next Monday
week.
We believe most of the counties in the
State, if not all, have held meetings and ap-
pointed delegates; the Convention may,
therefore, be expected to be full ONE
The delegates will come up, generally. with
such unanimity of opinion, on the sub.
ect of the Presidency, Governor and Lieut..
Governor, as to render the transaction of
the business appertaining TO those offices,
both speedy and pleasant. A large major
ity of the counties have expressed deci-
ded preference in favor of General TAy-
LoR for the Presidency, and the only thing
for the Convention to do, will be to ratify
his nomination, and select suitable persons
to represent the State in the National Con.
vention, and to urge his claims before the
people, in the capacity of Electors; while
the expression of public sentiment is so de-
cidedly in favor of Maj. ROLLINS and Gen.
WATKINS, for Governor and Lieut.. Cover.
nor, that their positive inability 10 serve,
will only render it necessary to look else
where, for candidates for these offices.
The easy adjustment of these matters,
however, will not detract from, but rather
add to, the interest of the Convention
A large number of the wings of the State
will be brought together. and these matters
being thus easily disposed Of, they will
have the more time to cultivate each others
acquaintance, consult upon matters apper.
tanning TO the interests and welfare of the
State, and make such arrangements as may
be deemed necessary and expedient, to en-
sure success in the canvass.
In addition to the State Convention, a
| Convention to nominate a candidate for
Congress, for this District, will be held at
the same time and place. But few coun.
ties in the District have expressed pref.
erence on the subject of candidate for
Congress, but all, we believe, are in favor
of having one in the field. There is abun-
dant material in the District, and suita.
BILE candidate, we doubt not, can readily be
agreed upon.
The wings Of Cooper expect large col
lection of their political brethren; and we
do not entertain doubt but that their ex
pcctations will be more than realized.
CONGRESSIONAL AND ELECTO.
RAJ DISTRICTS.
Below we give the Congressional and
Electoral Districts, as laid down in the Stat.
utes of the State. The approaching State
and District Conventions, will put candi.
dates in nomination, both for Congress and
Electors, and knowledge of the counties
composing the several Districts, will prove
interesting at this time.
