l ited, to fixing the time of holding the Con- vention; not doubling but all would unite upon the measure itself During ourabsence, the discussions have assumed different, and to us very unwalcomc, character They seem to have lost sight of the main and, in our estimation, only proper question, and fastened upon the Senatorial election, invol- ving, as t does, the characters and preten- sions of individuals. It is unpleasant to Us to remind, writers, the twentieth time, that inc Banner is not an arena for individual controversy especially between Democrats. Heretofore we have maintained iaviolate, the consistency of it's policy in this respect; and would desire to do so still. But as lodg- mant of opposing forces has been effected in our columns, during our absence, we must, even accommodate them, temporarily, as we best can; enjoining it upon them, however, to be as cool and discreet as possible, and not force us to exclude them for want of due decorum

 Without reference to Gov. Tells views or wishes, of which we know nothing, it is our duty to remark that, as candor, fair dealing, and Democracy, should characterize all com munications to the Banner, one feature, in several articles We have received, impres5es IS unfavorably. IL is that a Convention should not be held because 1t would be un- just and disrespectful to Gov Yell. If such an argument be the candid expression of the writer's friendship to Gov. Yell, it is a poor evidence of Democracy; for the welfare of the party is paramount to the interest of any individual, or the respect that may be due him. f, on the contrary, it be only rase, to use a profsssioa of friendship not felt, for that gentleman, as a means of defeating q Convention, it eyinccs q want of candor, as disfepuable to the writer, as t is unjust to

 the subject of his pretended regard.
