We have already printed in the srATEsnAS
the arguments Of unmber of our Democratic
contemporaries against the propriety Of holding
our next Nominating State Convention on the
9th Of January. Below will be found what
several others have to say on the subject. We
might give the opinions Of many more, on the

ceedingly unWise and inexpedient at 30 early q

events will take place between now and next
summer, or what will be the etate of the conn
try at that time. Il is better that the Demo.
cratic party should be In position to avail
itself OF any errors or failures the Administra-
tion may commit for the next elk months, By
Its candidates and its platform, than that shouid
nominate at hap hazard and IN hs dark. A
course Of policy that might be expedient In
January, might be exceedingly unwise In July
or August. We can afford to walt. Every
day Ia strengthening the Democratic party. and
there is nothipf to be lost by making nomina-
tiops late next summer, say July or August
We shall then be far wiser than We are now.

i Eighth Of January, let there be grand State
Celebration, 10 honor of our late victories, held
at Columbus on thatday.
These views strike us as sound, and We be-
lieve are cherished generally by the Democracy
of Hamilton county. Unless the committee
have poWerful reasons which have not been
given TO the public, and of which we have NOT
been informed. we trust they will let tho noml-
mating Convention 90 over until next summer

WHEN SHALL THE STATE CONVENTION BE
HELD2-We see that our Democratic ex.
changes throughout the State are agitatlng the
question as to what time our State Convention,
for nominating a State ticket, to be voted for
next fall, shall be held. Many Of them favor
the 9Th Of January, and seem anxious to re-
establish the custom Of former times, and hx
upon that day as the time for holding our
annual convention We believe IL TO be
policy to give ample time to discuss the
questions upon which the people are TO decide,
and let them be fully and fairly presented TO
the voters of the state, and In ordinary tmee
probably no objection could be made to that
day. Months. aud even days, bring forward
questions OF the greatest moment. Months,
now, are as prolific Of new Issues as we're years

stances platform OF principles adopted on the

then up, might be as much out Of date at the
time Of the election, as a platform 10 l640
would have been In 1850. Matters OF the
greatest magnitude, which may be brought for

ary, and under such circumstances the Democra

tive expression In reference to them. In the
present condition Of the country, while we de-
sire as much time as possible, We think It
would be advisable not to fire too soon Il Ia
best to know what enemy We have to meet, and
what kind of ammunition will be needed and
most effective. By the 9th Of January, Con-
grcss will hardly have begun its work, and,
therefore, the Convention would be unable to
deal with the acts and policy which IL may
inaugura;e. A later day for the Convention
would certainly be preferable. POrtsmoaah

DrMooRATIo STATE CONVENTION notice
that many of our Democratic exchanges are
agitating the holding Of the Democratic State
Convention ON the 9th Of January. and ask fol
On expression Of the Democratic presa. We
for one, are decidedly opposed toit, as unnecss
sary and unWise. There 10 no necessity for such
an early day, and we believe that none of its
advocates claim that such 10 the case. II will
make long and protracted campaign, Wearl-
some to the candidates and the people. The
late election proves the success Of q short, but
spirited, campaign, and We think that the 4'h
of July ia soon enough for all practical purposes.
Il should be taken into confederation that In
the present condition of affairs new and unex.
pected issues are constantly arising, and that
what may seem the Issue In January, may have
no relevancy to the campaign In July. For
these reasons We think Il better TO postpone It
unti! later day.-HsReoek Courier.

the next State Convention held on the 9th Of

We have conyersei with many Democrats of

SEVERAL of our exchanges are In favor Of
holding the next Democratic State Convention
on the 9Th Of January. We think the time sl-
| together too early. The numerous changes
taking place, and the new Issues arising pre-
clude the possibility Of holding 1t at that time.

TIE Mt. Vernon Banner thinks the time
is now too short to call the State Convention
for the 9th Of January. The notice TO come Of
the counties, In its opinion, would be insufa.
Client TO enable them to make the necessary or.
rsugemente for their county meetings TO appoint
delegates to the State Convention.
