a Mistake.

The National Era of the 1st inst enormously
credits to the Ohio Star, article which appear
ed in some one of our contemporaneous Journals
in favor of early assembling of Free Demo
cratic State Convention.
Those are not our views. We think an early
Convention would be extremely unNise and i'm
polite. The idea of prompt and close partisan
movement at this time, is, in our judgment, the
product of folly. We believe events of no little
importance are about to transpre in political affairs
we believe changes of no little moment are about
to take place in political organizations. We think
it the part, therefore, of WISDOM to await the
sembing of Congress and its discussions, the more
full deveopement of administrative policy, and the
general aspect of parties, and proclives of party
men some months in The future, before any strictly
party movement should be made.
The powerful articles which lately appeared in
the Forest City Democrat, entitled THE PERILs
OF THE DAY AND THE DUTIES OF THE Day
must have attracted the attention Of the editor Of
the Era. We fully sympMhi with those arti-
cles in regard to present and prospective duty
