As the opposers of the Convention propo- sed to be held in this city on the sth of Jan uary next, have all along professed theirreadi ness to go for 1t as soon as Gov. YELL should decline a reelection, and as that condition is already at their disposal, we have a right to expect each aud eccry man to go to work, at once and in good faith, and make the Con- venton large one--a full and faithful rep resentation of the Democracy of the Sate Let county meetings be held at the earliest convenient time, for full 'sturn out of the people,, and the proper number of Delegates be appointed.

 The plan proposed, and 1t seems to us to be the only fair and proper one, is that each county be untitled tc the same number of votes in the Convention as she has Representatives in the State Legislature But that county may send as many Delegates as she may choose, all to have seats in the Convention. and participate in all its proceedings except . uo'iag-the whole delegation from a county selecting the particular individual or ndivid- uals, of their number, to cast the vote. This is the usual plan it is fair and equal for all parties-and we have neither heard. nor can wesconceiye of any objection to it. There fore, in order that there may be an equal and uniform mode of proceeding, throughout the State, we propose the foregoing as the plan ofconsttuting the proposed Convention. If this plan be carried out, all must admit that the Convention will be s.fairly constitu- tcd''.

 The srH OF JANUARY, for reasons already given in the Banner, is proposed as the day of meeting. If, as heretofore, the election did not come on until October, later day might answer for themeeting of the Conven- ton. But as the time of election has been changed to AUGUST, the Convention ought to be held as early as January, to afford time to the candidate, whoever he may be, to canvass the State
