WHIO STATE CoEvRNrIoN.-W take this
occasion to remind our readers ofths Whip
deiegate Convention on Saturday next
We trust there willrbe a-good attendance.
Since the call ofthe Wing Central Com
'Inittee fora State Convention on the Cad
Inst, some half dozen Wings scattered pro-
miscuously throughout the State, who were
either not consulted or have a desire to find
fault with any action that may be had in the
premises, seem disposed to object to a call
which, we have reasonto believe, was made
after due reflection and in accordance with
the wishes Of nine-tenths OF the Wings Of
the State. The reasons Of this opposition,
we have In vain tried to find out, the articles
upon the subject generally containing moth
ing but a vague surmise that some person or
persons have a desire to control the Wings
of Ohio, and our own opinion upon the sub
ject, in a spirit of charity and forbearance,
we will not at this time express, merely stat
ing that some people wish to appear so very
learned or very independent that they are
the mere slaves of their own vanity. But
let that pass.
The Calls made, the convention will meet
and a good ticketwill be nominated. 1t is
immaterial SO far as men are concerned
whether the ticket is formed on the 22d or
the day before the %eletion; it is equally i'm
material, for the purposes of accommodation,
whether the campaign lasts for six or for
three months, az those who desire a longer
time can 60 to work after the nomination,
while the other class can rest content and
enter upon the fight whenever it suits their
own convenience; but il is material, for the
purpose Of success, to have u ticket early in the
field and to discuss the measures Of public
policy in season and out Of season. II is
quite certain that the strongest efforts were
made by the Wings, in the last Presidential
contest, during the short month preceding
the election, and this too with the almost
hopeless prospect indicated by the State e.
lections. 1t has been the lame for years.
The other party are better organized than we
are, are constantly at WORK, and can bring
their force into the field up6h short notice.
In this simple fact, known and admitted, can
be found the reason why an early conven-
iion was desired and coHtefided for. 1t
gives the party ample time, full Scope for OPP
GRAFTON and a chance to warm DIP ia Ode sea-
son.
And so far as taking advantage ofthe i'm
projections and Encouragement Of Our OPP
ponents is concerned, it is in our opinion
much better to have a ticket in the field and
an organization in full force. We can see
but one objection really to a ticket and that
consists in the fact that Mt some future day a
muss might spring up and a chance for a CO.
alition follow; but as these latter day "un-
ions" have generally been formed for the
purpose of obtaining the spoils, we do not
suppose that this is one OF the reasons which
give rise to the present opposition to an
early convention, and merely take occasion
to state that men who join US for any such
purpose, take the earliest opportunity to
leave whenever they see a better chance in
other quarters. We are deadly opposed to
all such means to secure success. Those
who sincerely desire the good of the coun-
try and see corruption and Encouragement
in any party, will not hesitate to Join the
opposition, nor wait for an offer of place,
power or spoils.
We are for the Convention and the tick
st-an early organization and a thorough
contest.
