'1nsidsnts ofshs Convention"

I'm looking over the heads OF those
who composed the Convention, we
were pleased and edited to see a good
~ number Of the old chieftains OF the
party-men whose purity Of character
and consistency Of principles have
fixed their names indellibly in the
affections Of the democracy"
1t is astonishing to us how differ
ent persons will see things differently.
We went down and looked over the
'heatls," and could see nothing very
remarkable abont them-they were
such ''heads" as usually come together
on such occasions. There were round
heads, and fiat heads, and smooth
heads-long heads and broad heads,
and all the different kinds and quail
ties of heads, that abandon their own
business to see that parliamentary
rules are not violated, and the rights
of the "dear people" are not out
ragged.
The only delay we could discover
in the work was occasioned on ques-
ton of Organization" about which
there was a wide difference ofopinion.
Some contended that the Convention
was, and others that it was not Or
ganized. When this was settled, a
self constituted committee came in
with every thing cut and dried for the
occasion, in order ocIy to facilitate
the work, and then the usual show of
voting was gone through with, and
every thing was admirably adjus-
ted. After this was done, a committee
Of ls was appointed to draft resolu-
tons expressive of the Sense" of the
Convention about which each man
had difference of opinion, and so
the Convention adjourned sine die.
Thus it will be seen the party will
have to do without platform for
sometime to come. For the party's
sake we are glad that no platform
could be made, because the 'late Dem
ocratic Legislature established new
principles in democracy, that are pop
ular now, but they will not do to build
on. a-
The next Legislature must be Wing,
that is if the Wings fall into the aban-
doned principles of the Democratic
party--and oppose the pledging Of
the faith of the State. The taxing Of
people molens Uolens, for things they
have no faith in; and the indiscrimi-
nate chartering of Banks to issue
worthless bills, to sink the State into
hopeless condition of degradation and
bankruptcy.
We noticed a ''hasty BILL" at the
corner calling on the Wings to ''rally
at a mass meeting" yesterday. We
have no doubt the call was responded
to by a large and enthusiastic COM
pany Of the best looking men in town,
and we have no doubt that such men
were selected to attend the Great Wing
State Convention, as will not only be
there, but let the intelligence Of the
country, "par e1celience" feel that
they are there. This way of few
wire-workers doing all the legerdem-
ain business, IS not right, the "mass"
should come in for a part Of it. And
what is the use of having three humid
red delegates" when three men are
reluctantly forced to do all the work
In this connection we would "casu-
ally remark to the patriotic gentle
men Of both parties that this paper is
published every day, whether the wind
blows from the East or the West
