"A very marked diversity of preference had for
some time been evinced throughout the State with
regard TO the number of Delegate from e,ch As
semSly District to the ensuing State Convention:
some insisting that obe is the most convenient and
appropriate Lumber, while others urged adherence
to two, in accordance with the past usage of the
party. The Committee, after what the telegraph
reports as protracted and excited sitting, decided
to achele TO the plan of choosing two Delegates
fIom each District. We believe this is in a,cord-
ance with the decidedly pieponderating sentiment
of the Republicans As The Courier and Enquirer
opce fortiby said:
"It has hitherto been The custom to send two Dele.
gstes fiom each district to a State Convention and
there is BOW eyefyreason Tor not diminishing the num
btr II Republican party. as every Cne kno IS,
was, and is composed Of Heterogeneous mserials-
Whigs, Democrats and AmeIicans-those in fact,
who were opposed to toe encfoachmsnts OF Slavery.
Such beng the case, i. would lot be polite TO reduce
Il number of Deleg yates, since, IN one district the
patty vas composed of an equal number OF Democrats
and others they would each feethst they had right
70 be represented and though thinking alike upon the
gre Issues the Republican party they might yet be-
lleye that in State COnven.iCn the different sec ions of
the paty should not be ignored. Srcs, therefore il hiss
been the custom hitherto to send two delegstes TO
diminish the lumber just now might only produce
trouble ard, far rom Increasing that unity which
the advocates of the measure look for, only create
1, elings which would be al aged with difficulty"
The Courier has lately reve sed its engine, and
argued that the views above expressed by it are
unsOuId and mistaken; but public opinion did not
sympathze with this change, nor, We rejoice ia
beirg able to state, did tha. of the State CON-
mittee.
On suo.her point, We reg.tt to see that the
Con nmitie was less judicious. II delayed the
meeting of the Convention to Sept. Sih-less than
two months before the Election-which will briog
our nominations for Congress, &c, too late to
allow time for that thorough and effective canvass
which is urgently requisite. The ConsentiOn
ought to meet in August; but had it been called
even one week earlier it would have added Ten
Thousand to the Republican vote in November,
simply BY allowing ampler opportunity to call that
vote cut. Why this delay should have been de-
c6ed 3D. we cannot imsgire. A State canvass is
never fairly commenced with till at least the can.
didstes for Congress are nominated, aud ii is not
cay to brig the.e generally into the field short of
hree to four weels after the meeting OF the State
Convection.
