Lssl week, we briefly called the s.ien1
ton Of the public to the fact that the peo'
pie Of Dallas were ready and prepared to
entertain the delegates TO the next State
/ Convention al this place, We did 80, be-
cause We felt il incumbent upon us 10 lei
the people abroad know that We "ou'a
not only be prepared TO receive our ifiends'
but would be glad TO see them with that
New. a meeting Of cur citizens Was called,
and appropriate committees appointed -
These proceedings were published in the
Herald Of last week, We give this brief re-
view because we have been astonished to
see some opposition TO the holding Of con-
Nsn,ion, in very unexpected quarter
We care not by what name, this convention
be called, whether democratic, Southern
Rights or anything you Pleass-we are
willing TO drop old party names and TO ig-
moro old tissues, the REVIVAL Of which would
do no good TO any One-but We are not
willing to abandon the idea Of nOmina-
ting convention for the important Offices to
be filled al the next election,
There never has been time within the
history Of the State, when a thorough or
gsnir1tion WAS more necessary than at
prssent-an organization OF old friends
and new friends upon the basis OF the late
issues ON which the people have differed
To secure concert OF action and unanimity
Of ser timenL We recommend the meeting
Of the people in Convention and there
making suitable nominations, The slTHa.

friends OF the late Southern movement suf-
fer disorganiration and confusion to take
the place OF order and discipline. The
boast Of the Abolitr-n party is made, that
Secession cannot change Geographical and
Physical lines-that as vapor arises on
either side Of Mason and Dixon's line and
unites above, so will snti-slavery eontin-
ne its upward tendency in despite of Scees-
sion. We have this daring threat to meet,
and NO have to put our house in order and
organize fully to be prepared for conquest.
Democrats and Wings have acted together
like brothers in the Secession cause,--they
have put their shoulders to the wheel and
pushed the car triumphantly to the goal Of
Let them continue united, for the
battle is only half won tho enemy is
Northumberland Unioni,m is one of them.
The wants of the country, in the absence
Of Democratic, or Wing party-organization,
demand discipline and order. We have
had the fruits, in full perfection, Of tho
system of Independent candidates,--thc
State has laborcd under the incubus of an in
DEPENDENT administration for over J ear, and
he whole country cursed with n shiftlcss,
eeblc and improvidcnt policy that has re-
ultcd in the utter overthrow Of these in
lepcndent-candidatc office holders. Gen.
iouston is deposed by the Representatives
# the Sovereign pcople--and he is fair
ype Of the disorder and INSTRUMENTATION that
1istcd in 1859 and which resulted in his
election.
