Delegates to the Convention.

The State Committee have adopted so plain
ana Judlclous system of representation for the
State Convention, that much of the difficulty
experienced in recent political conventions, in
relation to that question, will be likely to be
obvlated. Each city, town and plantation is
entitled to one delegate, and one more for every
one hundred democratic voters. This is easily
understood Another important point is, that
delegates residence must be in the city,
town or plantation he represents. This will
operate to prevent the rushing in Of large num-
bers of out sidcrs to act as delegates for such
places as happen TO be unrepresented. Oul
friends will see in this rule the importance Of
calling their caucuses in season, selecting Their
delegates and making sure their attendance up.
on the convention.
According to the basis established, the num-
Der of delegates will be nearly seven hundred
II will be worth while to look upon this array
ofdemocracy in State Convention after three
years of quietude. Some of the whig editors
are already frightened at the prospect. One

The Bangor Jeffersonian gives an estimate
OF the representation to which the several
counties in the State are entitled III the con-
vontion, which probably approximates near
correctness. We copy as follows:
