STATE CONVENTION.

We publish to-day the call Of the
Central Committee Of the Republican
PARTY for State Convention for the
nomination Of candidates for State
Officers, to be held at Madison on the
4th day Of September. We think the
committee have acted wisely in calling
the convention thus early, and giving
ample time for the selec Nm of dele
gates. There Is no time to be lost on
the part of the people in preparing for
the Fall campaign. Primary meetings
should be called, for the selection Of
delegates to the convention, and men
selected for that purpose who under
stand we'll the interests of the party
and the people at large We look up
on the Republican party as destined
to conduct the affairs Of our State and
Nation vet for years to come, and the
masses should look we'll to the selec-
ton Of the best men for official posi-
tions. If the people attend the prim.
AIRY meetings and see that reliable
men are chosen as delegates, there need
be no fears Of the nomination Of in
competent persons for office.
Now Is the time to begin to talk
the matter over, and remind the town
and county committees of their duty
IN calling meetings at an early day.
More Importance is attached to prim-
airy meetings than Is generally sup
posed. We hope our party friends in
this locality Will wake up and be ready
for action.

NAPOLEON : Emperor of Mexico has

pense over his tomb. Our own great

as was evinced by the action Of the
French government in Isl, in rela-
ton to the affairs of the American
Colonies while writhing under the de-
cree of King George III.
When the French government be-

for undoing that great wrong which
was eXasperatin@ the enemies of Mex

Then was the time to obliterate the
