ston convention have reached Us at last, aud We

perceived that considerable spirit and enihusi-
sasm p.rvaded the Convention. and We trust
! that these preliminary proceedings may result
in the final and complete success of the work con
tenplated.
We regret however that the convention
is appointed to meet again at Winston a. we
think IL would be much better Il meet ut som"
convenient point midway between Lynchburg
and Winston.
We would suggest Danville, although rival
interests may exist there, which however, could
not affect the deliberations of the convention.--
We are satisfied that in other way can full
delegation DO secured of the business man OF
Lynchburg AT present the facilities for reach
ing Winston from this city are very Indifferent,
and the route long and tedious one. Let the
chairman of the convention exercise his preroga-
tive. which he is privileged 10 do by common
CONSENT aud designate Danvile, or Franklin c.
Has our cotemporaryof the Courier suggests
for the NEXT meeting Of the Conventions aud We
promise good delegation of the substantial men
Of Lynehburg. VIII the Chairman take the ne
cessary steps Immediately to effect this desira
Bile objec,l We trust he will.
