The State Nominating Convention.
1t is confidently expected that the Consti.
tutional Convention will be able to, complete
its labors by the 2sth or Goth of February !;
and that in thirty days from that time the
Constitution will be submitted to the peo-
pie, and elections held for State officers and
members of Congress. This renders it ne.
cessary that Republican State Convention
shall be held, and it was deemed expedient
to call it a few days before the adjournment
Of the Constitutional Convention now in
session. aH.E -sf.
We trust our loyal people in all parts of the
State willat once hold meetings and appoint
delegates to the Convention to be held on
the 26th of next month. The Republicans
of the various Counties can either send fresh
delegates, or authorize the delegates already
/ here to act for them, or they can send dele
gates to act with those here. We can assure
our friends at distance that the Republi-
can delegates to the Constitutional Conven-
can be implicitly relied on. in cases where it
is not convenient to send fresh delegates
Let us have full Convention 1t is i'm
pOrtant that every part of the State should
be represented. We have great work be-
fore US, and though we have no fears as to
the result, let us roll up such majorities as
viii encourage our friends in other States,
and teach rebels and traitors that it is idle
to dash themselves against the power of this
loyal people
In relation to the Congressional nomina-
tions it was provided by the September Con
yention as follows: Hs
1 San Executive Committee to consist of
twenty one members three from each Con-
| gessional district, shall be appointed by the
President of the Convention. Said Com
] Hittee shall have the general supervision of
the affairs of the Republican party of this
| State, it shall also have the authority to fix
The time for the annual meeting of the State
Convention. and to call said State Conven-
\ ton together at such other times as the good
| OF the party may require.
| The three members of said Committee,
resident in each Congressional district, shall
constitute an Executive Committee FOR their
respective districts, and Shall have super
vision of the affairs of the party in their dis
tricts, and the power to call district Conven-
tions, whenever in their opinion the good OF
| the party shall require"
| 1t will be seen that the Committees in the
1 different Districts have the power to call
Conventions. The elections will probably
1 take place about the last of March There
! is, therefore, sufficient time, if the work be
"A
4 commenced at once, to call and hold the
! Conventions in tile different Districts; but
/ it has been suggested by some of our friends
that it would be well to hold the Congress
/ ional Conventions on, the Goth of February
1 when the State Convention-js held 1t is
/ not our province to decide in this natter
! 1t is with the people, We have no doubt
whether the Conventions shall he held at
! Raleigh on the 26th of February, or in the
! Districts, that acceptable nominations will
! be made, and the Republicans will triumph
.antly carry every District. As to some OF
1 the Districts it would doubtless be most
/ convenient to hold the Conventions in Ra
I leigh and it is desirable that there should
i be but one box for all the candidates. and
] that the nominations for the various offices
members of Congress included, should be
4 made in time to go on the same ticket. We
trust that whatever plan or plans may be
adopted as to the Congressional nominations
4 they will be such as to give general satisfac-
! tion, and promote entire harmony between
the State ticket and Congressional ticket. We
! must carry the 1hole State for eoery thing, and
every step that may be taken should look to
/ that end tri.--q bt
