In reponse to THE CLARION we would
say that the proposition meets our views.
perfectly, and that we think the meeting of
the Convention shOlld not be delayed.
There are differences OfOpinions, among the
Conservatives on various minor subjects,
which could easily be settled by a
Convention. Radicalism is becoming thor

of the Conservatives to do the same

We want no impracticables. We want men

ism overbalance their prejudices. We think
that the success OF Conservatism in the COM
ing canvass, depends, in great measure,
upon the action of this Convention. If rea-
son, moderation and true Conservatism
should mark its deliberations, we have but
little fears that the proud mantle of victory
Will again crown our efforts; but, on the
contrary, should the restless spirit Of i'm
practlcability prevail we may expect such
divisions and contentious, as will be almost
certain to eliminate in defeat. The time
for high-sounding chivalrous defamation
has passed. We want practical, polite men
in our councils. We must present plat

civil and political rights of all men,"
Let US have the Convention, say on Mon
day, July 8.
From the Raymond Gazette.
The Clarion desires an expression from
the press of the State as to the time and
place for holding a Conservative Conyen-
ton. We see no pressing necessity for haste
IN this matter. When an order for the cleo
ton comes along would be time enough
perhaps, for the people of the State white
and black, to meet in solemn Convention to

Dagger, on the one side, and the Northern
Democracy on the other.
(This view of the Gazette is endorsed
by the Vicksburg Times in paragraph
which has been misplaced.)
From the Oxford Falcon.
We are entirely willing that the Central
Executive Committee of the Conservative
party should fix the time of holding the
Convention, and we hope that they win do
