The Editorial Convention.

Which was held at this place last Tuesday
18th, proved to be more interesting gath
ering than was anticipated by the fraterni-
ty. There were 2S delegates in attend
ance, representing % papers. The ad-
dress. by DR.. Ellis, of Goshen, was the
finest We ever listened to. 1t was replete
with good. wholesome, practical truths,
which the craft would do well to take heed
unto. The volunteer speeches were ex-
cellent, and the resolutions ditto. The
free dinner ut the Edwards House was
creditable to the energy and liberalty OF
the host, and was undoubtedly the best
table ever set in town. Those who attend
ed the dance speak of it in the most fatter-
ing terms.
This. as the first convention of the kind
in Northern Indiana, has been the means
of forming an extensive acquaintance be-
tween the members of the editorial corps,
which will certainly be the means of ere
ating and preserving fraternal feeling.
The next convention will be held on the
FIRST Wednesday in May, 1860. at Fort
Wayne. Next week we shall publish the
address. and the proceedings of the con-
yention.

There will be Democratic County Convention
held at the Court house in Plymouth on the 18th
day of June, 1855, st l O'Clock P. NJ, to nomi-
nate candidates for County Clerk, and Commits
sioner. The Democrats in the several townships
are requested to meet in township Convention on
the 18th day of Juno next, to elect delegates
to the County Convention. This step is highly
necessary, and is most earnestly urged upon the
Democrats of every township, andi is hoped that
no township will neglect it, and particularly that
Democrats will not permit any others to meet and
appoint for them while they stay at home.
1t has been thought that an apportionment of
delegates based on the last Congressional vote,
would be as equal as it could be made-and that
ratio has been adopted. This will give each town
ship delegates follows:
Union S,-Ccnter 24,-Green e,-Bourbon 8,
German Polk 6,-North 6,-Tippecanoe 5,
-Wesi 6.
Let every Democrat consider it his duty to at
tend the township meeting, and see that delegates
are selected who will attend.
