Democrot,e Convention.

The Uuion Democratic Committee of Ne
vada county held a meeting yesterday. aud
iAeued a call for County Convention. to be
held on the 9th proximO. There was some
difference of opinion as to the propriety Of
issuing call at present, but none as to the
policy of the party maintaining its organ
ization. For our own part, not being able
TO see the necessity Of disbandng the or
oanization, and believing il impossible for
"all The loyal elements" to act together as
one party for amy length Of time, we were
in favor Of issuing the call for Conven-
ton, and are in hopes it will be fully at
tended on the day appointed. Ifihere was
a possibility Of the SecessoDists carrying
the State. there would be some reason for
a union of loyal men to keep down revoln
tionary efforts on this coast but at the
last State election three.fourths Of the vo'
teFs cast their ballots for candidates who
were in favor of sustaining the Union, the
Constitution audllaws, and it is folly to try
to make intelligent people believe that the
Union voters will render any more efhclent
aid to the Government cause by acing in
one political organization than by acllng
separatelv. So far as the efforts Of the Gov
ernment in putting down the rebellion are
concerned, IL cannot make the slightest dit
ference whether Col. Stevenson or John
SWEET is elected to the Office of Superin-
teudent of Public Instruction. 1t is not
necessary to surrender our party organ
izatun in order to support the Government
nor would our doing SO in any manner ald
10 suppressiug the rebellion.
Aside from the fact that no advantage
can accrue to the cause of the Government
by union ia one party of the loyol voters
of the State, there are reasons why the Doug
las party should maintain its Organization
There must be at least two political parties
in the State, aud the disbandng of the
Union Democratic organization would have
the effect to build up q powerful Secession
party, who in all probability, before many
years, would have control Of our State Gov
ernment. We cannot, of course. foresee
how parties may be divided in 1864, but If
q national Democratic Convention is held,
It is better that the delegates that attend it
from this State should be elected by loyal
rather than BY disloyal men. Ntbe Dong
las party disbands, the Breckinridge party
will send delegates to the Convention, and
being the only representatives from The
State they might be admitted; but they
would not be admitted, nor would they
even send delegates to the Convention, If
the regular Democratic party keeps up its
organization. 1t has almost universally
been the case, that national politics con-
trOlled the politics Of the different States ;
aud as the Breckenridge party has gone
over almost entirely TO the rebellion, the
tail of the organization, which is still kept
alive in California will lose its last linger-
ing spark Of vitality ia 1854, unless the
Douglas party should foolishly disbaud,
and permit the bOlters Of 1860 to send del
egates to the next national Convention.
