STATE CoNvENTIoN-Thc Columbu


Argus contains the following sensible AM


wcl-timed article as to the propriely an,


Importance of a Wing State Convention


We transfer i: without remark:


In former number of our paper we ask


cd the question, What are the Whigs in hi,


State dOingf' But as yet we have heart


no response. 1t is timo something was
done, An important election is to be helc
in the month of November, and already
are the the Van Buren, faction in the field
with their spies and managers in every
county, encouraging the wavenng, an
"cutting and drying" the plans they think
will insure them success. They triH MOI
be diUided, Their whole force will be
brought to bear on single candidates, anil
they hope for victory in unity. Is it posi-.
ible, in view Of these things, that the friends
-ofgoOd order, the opponents of executive
msrule and the hateful Treasury Circular,
or IN ono word, the WHlGS of Mississippi,
will-divided and dcstroyed-sleep and al
low their enemies to destroy them in de-
taiI?--Heaven Forbid!


Let us then take up the same weapons,
in the rse Of which onr enemies have hth
erto been successful. Lot a STATE
CONVENTION be held at some central
point, composed Of delegates from every
county of the State, appointed by the people
in their primary assemblies. When assem-
bled, let them select from the offering can
'rlidatcs the names Of citizens for Governor
and congressman, and let it be understood
that the nomination tho Convention makes
is binding on the whole party opposed to the
present administration Of the general gov
eminent.


The people in their primary assemblies
will select gentlmen for the various county
offices; such as Senators, Representatives.
Sherifs, Clerks, &c. Let US be UNI
TED and the victory is ours.


This is no time to cavil about the means
to be used to iAsure success, provided they
are honest and upright. The dreadful
storm which is now desolating the
whole Union--a storm caused by the
mismanagement, ignorance and prufiigacv
OF our rulers, should induce every man that
possesses the privileges Of freedom TO take
his stand in the defence Of his country.


We propose for the consideration of our
brethren Of the Wing press the prepricty
concert Of action, by request.
ing the people Of every county in the State
TO meet in COUNTY CONVENTION at
some suitable place, on the first Monday
10 July next, for the purpose Of nominating
s1iiable persons to run as county officers,
and ofappointing three delegates to attend
! STATE CONVENTION, to be- held in
Jackson on tho FIRST Monday IN August, Cor
iAe purpose Of nominating suitable persons

ygcssnen. In this way re shall secure
