The State Convention.

The call of the Republican Central Com.
mittee for State Convention has already
appeared in two or three issues of the DAILY
REGISTER. The time and place for the as
semhlage of the Convention are well chosen,
and the language of the call is so liberal that
any loyal elector who can earnestly support
the National Administration in its efforts to
prosecute the War to an honorable termina.
ton, may consider himself invited to aid in
the selection of Delegates and in the conse-
quent determination or the character of the
Convention. We trust, however, that no
man will be encouraged to believe that the
Republican organization and faith are to be
re-modeled to meet the views of any class of
Unionlsts WIN could otherwise refuse to Co
operate with US. We knew too well the
dangers which the State escaped, to be a
party to such an error. Two years ago the
Republicans of New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois abandoned their
partisan identity, and co-operated in what
was called a "Union' organization. Iowa
Republicans were beset from within the
State and from without to follow the exam
pie. Cert in good friends in our neighbor-
ing State Of Illinois were even inclined to
take our politics in hand and make there
reconstruction for us, whether we would or
no. When, however, the moment for ac-
ton came, the Republicans throughout the
State, with devotion to principle and an
exhibition of sagacity which did them hon.
DR., rhllied with more zeal than ever under
he folds Of their own partisan flag, battled
n their ovp way for the support Of the
State and National Administrations of their
'wn selection, and when the contest Of that
rear was over it was found they had elected
