DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.


Our friends of the Wilmington Journal, in ar
ticle which we copied the 18th, suggested Tuss-
day the 4th day of May the time for holding the
Democratic State Convention. We have no objection
the time mentioned; but after consulting with our
friends, of the opinion that il would be best
to hold the Convention at somewhat later day. We
have examined the run of the Courts, and find that
they will nearly all be over by about the middle of
May, thus giving opportunity to large majority
of the more active and prominent members of the
party to be present; and with this fact in view and
for other reasons, we would most respectfully sug-
gest THURSDAY, the 18th day of May, suitable
time. l; would be impossible 10 day which
would suit the convenience of ALL but we hope the
day above mentioned will meet the apprbation of our
friends generally, and that every one who wishes to
be present. will make some sacrifices in order
lend.
The Democratic National Convention will assem-
BILE the Ist day Of June, and the time between the
18th of May and that day will be ample enable the
two State Delegates to be informed of their election
and get ready for their journey. This will leave,
also, just twelve weeks for the GubernatoraI CAM
paign, which, it strikes US, will be long period
could be reasonably desired
We hope to see full attendance. Let the farm
ers as we'll as the professional members of the party
turn OUT and come up In their strength to the Con-
vention. The ensuing campaign will be Of more
importance to the party and to the Stale large, than
any which has taken place in the last fifteen years.
Hold your Meetings, then. brother Democrats-Put
your principles again record, and then assemble
in general Convention speak 70 the State,
and to act for the interest and welfare of the party
generally. The signs all suspicious. Victory
will again perch upon banners, provided we are
true to ourselves and the great principles which
we have in charge.

the monstrous of his day. Both died of sheer

could pass from the press. Corpernicus, indeed saw
the proof sheets of his undying volume, " On the

lifted up again by the windy acLlamations of a
world. Calhoun never saw the child of his heart :;
died without the supreme moment of prophetic tr-
umph which Illuminated the lonely dissolution of that
stern soul the sudden burst of setting sun lights
up the last moment of a winter day. But not less
less certainly will ages yet unheard of thunder at his
tomb the paan of his praise. He has done for poI.

sun and the planets accomplish their harmonious or
