The Wing STATE CONVENTION.
appears to be great deal Of opposition 10
the call OF The Central Committee, for a
Convention, 10 be held in Columbus, on the
Ed. Several prominen, Whig pupor are
quite bitter in their opposition TO it. The
Cincinnati Alias denounces ,he Central Com.
mi'tce, The Wing members of the Legisla.

bui gives no good reason for so doing. As

ncGd an excuse for neglect of duty, we sug-
sesI 10 them The proprety Of asceriaining
the views Of The opponents OF the Conven-
lion. The State Journal, and other papers
favorable 10 the call, regret that it should
meet with opposition in the Whig ranks.
We would much rather see opposition, than
indifference and lethargy, manifested.
We believe The 92d OF February is the
proper lime, and Columbus the proper place,
for the Convention. Nobody here objecls
TO either lime or place, and ye, no steps have
been taken 10 secure representation. If
an excuse can be offered we should like 10
hear il.
We are pleased To see that Athens county
will certainty be represented. Four dele.
