Another State Convention.

Fac Call of the Democratic State COMMITTEE,
10: a Convention to meet here on the 9th inst
TO nominate State Ticket is peculiar, to say the
least, and dscoses very clearly the aniu,us O
the = no party > movement so far as the man
aging Democrats are concerned which is no
more and no less than desire to break up the
Republican party, defeat Republican principles
and put Democrats into places now occupied
By men Of different political faith. The
treatment OF the Convention holden here on the
10Th ult, by the majority of the Democratic pa.
pefs IN the State very satisfactorily shows that
their dissatisfaction with that Convention arose
from the fact that it made very little if any ad
vance toward that grand result. Some Of these
papers, like the Burlington Sentinel and the
81. Alt!ns Democrat, have been waiting for y
crumD OF comfort from the County Conventions
IN their respective Counties, but in these thew
have made 50 little advance that they will all go
IN heartily for the Democratic 50 no party .
Convention here on the 9th inst.
Now we have not the least objection to any
attempts the Democratic party may make to
strengthen themselves and weaken the Renuh,;-
can party in these perilous times, but we would
suggest that it would be just as honest and
straightforward to call these efforts bv their
proper partisan names, as TO attempt to deceive
the good people of the Commonwealth bv pre.
tense OF . united action for the suppression of
rebellion, the restoration of order and the
maintenance of the Government, and the Con
stItuMon, and at the same moment call Con
'entlon tor the avowed purpose of putting In
nomination ticket hostile to one already in the
it'd' 1hls sinacks much more of division than
OF union, and looks rather to keeping alive than
bnrying party distinctions
