Terribly AFFLICTED.

Terribly ASflictsa.
Gov MsDEsY has been sorely exercised OF
late, because of the treatment the 9th OF Jam
usry has received at some Vsldsl hands. He
has undertaken In several recent numbers Of
the Crisis to "vindicate'' the propriety of re-
turning to the sIh of January. as the sppropri-
ate and proper dsy fox holding our State nomi-
mating Conventions. de never thinks Of the
departure from that good old day for tha! puf
pose, but 10 causes "sigt" in hiG boion! He
cannot and will nOt be comforted. He "neyer
saw anything gained by the change, but great
deal LOST" and be ieela like consigning the
VAndals who made the innovation to everlast-
ing perdiiion. For 't~snty-odd years he. ''st-
tended Eighth of January Conventions. and
triumphed in Democratic Victories" although
during that time, We we're defeated 10 Ohio as
Sttsa as We succeeded Fer a few weeks past he
has been In sad condition, because Of the de-
parture from that good old dayI but happily in
his Last issue, be philosophically comes TO the
conclusion that all his trouble Is owing to "the
mere fault Of early education" Still, however,
8e will not be oomforted! The SrATrssAs has
kickedly ssid something 10 dlsparagement of the
glorious ssb, and the "0ld Wheel Horse"
can't stand that. Besides. the Cincinnati
Enquirer has attempted to help the STATESMAN
ont of scrspe, and that only aggraVstes the
matter. And what is worse than ell, the Stste
Central Committee has just ignored the s.h Of
January for our next State Convention. and
Rxsd the time for it to meet in June! Such
wicked proclamation is enough to excite virtu-
ous patriot and sage statesman like Gov. Me
DAIRY and cause him to exclaim: "oh thst
my head we're wstera and mine eyes fountain
Of tears, that might weep" etc Poor sf-
Aletsd mani We feel like Joining him in de-
nouncing the Vandal who was so bold and reck-
less as to first willfuily and Wiokedly set aside
the 6.h OF January. and substitute another dag
In its steadSas the day on which the gallant
and aobie Democracy Of the State should cs
semble in Convention to make their nomins-
tioIs.o Who vac she man, and how shall We
ascertain the faot7 All! We have Il. We
turn to the ales Of the ONO SrATEsmAN, and
lock along through them for twenty odd years
tho memorable twenty ty-odd years when Gov.
MEDARY attended 9Th Of January Conventions,
and "trlumphed In Democratic victorles;" and
We fad In the DAILY Of December 10. 1856,
