Our friends in Mecklenburg and Union seem
ito be moving in earnest for the contemplated Dem
ocratic State Convention. We publish today the
proceedings of Meeting in Union, and we see
by Ahe last Jeffsrsoni. N that a meeting of the
democrats of Mccklenburg is called at Charlotte
on the 2sth instant to appoint Delegates to State
Convention. We copy the following from the
Jeffersonian, with the remark that we are not
welded to any particular day, and that we shall


certainly be content with the 9Th of January, pro-
vided the party generally are throughout the State


aOn our first page, the reader will find two
articles from the Standard, on the subject of q
State Convention to nominate candidate for Gov
ernor. We.cntirely agree with both the Editor
and his Correspondent, except as to the timo
named by the Standard for holding the ConVen-
ton. The 9Th of january would not conflict
with the Spring Superior Courts and thus prevent
many of our leading friends from attending it.


And it will be seen that our friends in Union, at
their meeting last week, selected the 9th as their
favorite day. But if our friends elsewhere, think


it important, later day can be fixed upon But
while our friends in Union agree with our sug-
gestion as to the time of holding the Convention,
they throw overheard our other suggestion, that
no nomination of candidates be made in the County
meetings Well, so be it. That's matter the
people nave IiSn 10 uldHdSC US Ihcy pIedSc.
"There is in the last Wilmington Journal, a
capital article on the subject of the next Govern
or's election. The Editor is in favor of Conven.
ton, but thinks the 9th of january too early day


We shall copy the article in our next and, in the
mean time would say that should our friends
throughout the State think the 9Th of January too
early day for calling Convention together, let
them fix upon later day" < g.


We repeat. we are not disposed to insist upon
any particular day, and later point than the 9Th
of January was suggested only because we con-
sidered it. for many reasons, the best time for the
assembling Of fair and full Convention, and for
acting in its results the most avorably on the
people generally. We are in the daily receipt ol
letters from various points, and most OF them fix
upon the 9th of January In our next we shall
announce the result of these communications, and
of such conferences as may be had among our
friends generally. ..s
