oppo.l,Ion state Convention.

Although the time appointed for the assembling OF cur
Opposition State Convention is nearly three months of,
IL may not be amiss for occasionally remind our
friends throughout the State of the Importance of hold
ing meetings and designating delegates and aterna'es
n, their earliest convenience. Having had full aud am
pie opportunity FOR doing what is incumbent upon them
In the premises there certainly he no possible excuse
for any county In the Common appointing del
er,es to the forthcoming Convention. Nor can there,
We imagine he any sufficient reasonable excuse why
any single county the State should not be directly rep
resented in that Convention Indeed every county has
Il entirely in its power only to appoint delegates but
10 be represented and express the sincere and car
nest hope that each and all will discharge their duty in
this matter with becoming promPness.
IL is well known that the Convention of the 10th of
February last was gotten up in lees than two months
when the character ofthe weather and various other Dis
couraging circumstances existed to prevent prompt and
universal action on the part of the Wing of the State.
But notwithstanding all this largely hundred out
ofbo one hundred and fifty odd counties in the Com
monweah we're represented in that Convention either
directly or bv aernates the present time the
on is unusually proptous for large attendance of the
pcopc at the various monthly courts and circumstances
in every other respect are exceedingly favorable for
getting up Convention the lith of December, which
shall not only satisfy the wishes and expectations of the
scventyodd thousand gallant and patriotic Wings OF Nr
GINA but which shall nauguratc grand aud glorious
national movement which shall sweep the present cor
rpt Democratic dynasty from power and place the Gen
cra Government more in the hands of honest,
plble and efficient men,
I'm addition to the circumstances alluded to, favorable
To harmonious and successful Convention the time
Indicated the Legislature will then be in session. which
will comprise among its members some sixty or eighty of
the intelligent sagaciou and prudent Wings in the
State Many of these gentlemen will hail from counties
not represented in the Convention Of February last and
which owing to their from the Metropolis,
would perhaps be represented in the approaching
one but for having Wing delegates in the egsa-
lure 1t will thus he that every reason exists for
upposng that the time appointed for the meeting of the
Convention will be entirely convenient to Wing
friends throughout the State and suspicious for the
s,mbing OF body of men, who will give full and fair
expression the views and wishes of their constituents
Another favorable circumstance we may mention, Is
shat the middle OF December is leisure time with the
people of the State generally, and the time, above all
others, when they most conveniently pay visit to
the metropolis of their State which the of them are
IN the habit OF doing least year. Besides, the
"gy'lr, will be abundant fat and ine-a consideration
not be overlooked by either Wings Democrats il
the mountain districts, who rarely have opportunity

luxury
thousand other circumstances and considerations o.
greater or less Importance indicate that shall hay,
Convention on the l4th of December, which will rep
fully and completely the sentiments of the Whi
mons Dretfreh throughout the country, Nortl
and South, East and West, which will with favor
able reception at their hands, and which fail
result in compact union and consolidation of nearly TN
entire Opposition forces in the Presidential cam
paign. Let Wing friends then, in every city anC
county in the State, proceed Immediately TO the hold
ing Of meetings. and the appointment of delegates to thu
forthcoming convention. Let them indulge in no un
necessary delay the subject but let them like mcl
and patriots, who in in the work befor
