Editorial Convention.

At the recent Republican State Con
vention there happened to be some tel
or fifteen editors, who natural,
enough desired to cultivate still fan
Their acquaintance with the craft
The project of holding an Editoria
Convention in Northern Iowa wa
discussed, and favorably spoken of b.,
all, though no definite action was ia
ken. Since cur return we have re
ceived the Cedar Falls Democrat con
tanning an invitation to the fraternity
to meet at that place during the
month of August, and handsomely
rendering them the hospitality of that
young city. We are decidedly in ia
vor of accepting the invitation. Some
may object that Cedar Falls is too ia,
West but to this we would reply,
that it is the most central, consider.
ing the distance many OF this way
will have to travel, and the facilities
for reaching it from the East are now
excellent. Passengers now leave Du-
buquc in the morning and reach Cc-
tar Falls the same evening-passing
through fine country, in comfortable
coaches, and over excellent roads.
But for all distances over forty miles
from Cedar Falls, in other directions,
it will consume from one to three
days to reach that point. We there
fore trust that no objection will be
made to the place The Sth of Sep
TENDER would, in our opinion, be the
best time.
In order that the matter may be
settled as soon as possible, we would
suggest that the following gentlemen
consider themselves q committee,
with full power to issue a call at once,
viz: Hildrcth, of the st. Charles Re-
publican lntelligcnccr-Clcment, of
the Dubuque Times-Editor of the
Delhi Dcmocrat-Drummond, of the
Vinton Eaglc-and Stillman, of the
Cedar Falls Democrat. If no objection
is made to these impartial nomina-
tons, we hope to see the matter set
tied at as early day as possible
Hamilton Freeman.
Such Convention would no doubt
be promotivc of much good, and we
will do what ever we can to get it up
and make it interesting and profitable.
1t should be as late as the middle of
September. Cedar Falls is central
point. Let friend IIildreth, the chair
man of the committee, lead off. We
vote for Cedar Falls for the place, and
Wednesday, Sept. 18th, as the time.
Dubuque Times.
We are heartily in favor of the pro-
posed convention and, since the pre-
liminary arrangements made by our
contemporaries have progressed 50
far, we do not feel at liberty to thwart
their plans by declining the appoint
ment they have given us. We there
fore issue the following call for an
EDITORIAL CONVENTION.

in convention at Cedar Falls, in Blackhawk
county on Wednesday, September 18th. 1858.
