early in April. The opposition have not,
as yet, appointed day for their State

begun to claim the attention of all who de-
sire the defeat of the democracy. We wish
to ascertain the views of our colleagues of

whatever movement is made shall be made
harmoniously. 1t has been suggested that
a State Convention be called to meet in
this city on the first Wednesday in May /.
What say our friends to the day
We are glad to know that the great
body of the opposition, appreciate the i'm
portance Of the contest for supremacy
which is again to be made, and are dis
posed to make all honorable sacrifices to
secure union and concert of action-to
prevent division-in a word, to present
but one candidate for each position of
honor, and to support him cordially. This
is most commendable spirit. 1t is the
only policy, which can carry us safely
through the Red Sea of defeat. We hope
it will not be departed from in any in
stance.
