l STATE CoSvESrIoN.-We concur in the sug geslon that Democratic Convention should be held at some period afer the legislature shall have adjourned, for the purpose of selecting a suitable candidate for Governor. A number of gentlemen have been spoken of in relation this office and il

 IS important that their conflicting aspirations should be harmonlsed that the democratic party may act

 m concert and bring undivided efforts to the sup. port oi suitable candidate. The plan suggested by our iriencs al Huntsville, seems be free of obiec- tons. They have appointed delegates in the ratio of one for every hundred democratic voters III the county, reference being had to the returns ol the late Presidential election, and have suggested the ap- pontment of day on which the Convention shalI be held, by the democratic members of the leglsla. ture now at Tuscaloosa. We sea no objection 10 thI' proposition, unless it may be the ratio of rep resenIatioa; but AS this is in accordance with The c"Inmendation made by this paper in relation the Convention held ior the appointment of delegates to Baltimore, and as tie reasons urged in favor of the proposition then. are of equal application he present object, We snail offer opposition 10 the plan, albeit We were overruled on that occasion We in South Alabama may indeed lose something by it's adoption, hu il ii right in itself and should be carried into effect, nY only on this occasion. but tabshed aS precedit for future guidance.

We object to this proposi- lion in toto. We have in our day witnes Sed the funeral solennities G, KING CAUCUS, and we have Do idea oi assisting his exhumaton, or ofdslurbing hls remains, Conventions are indeed liable to some practical objections arising from the inatention of masses to 'le importance oI primary assemblies, but they are sound in theory and mode of ascerlaining the wishes o majority can be devised, 50 free from objection Lot us then have Convention-fresh from the people, aud let it assemble at Tuscaloosa not earlier--nor indeed later than April.
