p The WEIG STATE CONVENTION, to nomi.
nate candidates for Governor and Lieutenant, will
meet a. Syracuse OR Wednesday tic seventh of
September-not the 9th, as first printed. Let the
correction be noted


There is very prevalent desire-n this quarter
of the State, at least-that the name of HENRY
CLAY be submitted at that Convention by our City
Delegates. and that it be asked formally to pre-
sent him to the People as the Wing candidate fer
next President. The only question which can
arise is one of time, and this is every day becom-
ing less and less question, ia view of the pro-
gress of events and the spontaneous action of the
People. That a large majority Of the Wings OF
the State desire that Mr.. Clay shall moss be nomi
mated we believe; that they will consent to delay
if any considerable minority wish it, or deem il.
expedient, can hardly be doubted.


The Wings of this City have already expressed
in the most public and decisive manner their de-
termination to support HENRY CLAY for next
President. 1t strikes us that their desire of an
Immediate, formal State nomination, presuming
it to exist, should be expressed in manner equally
decided and emphatic. 1t should be indicated by
no action Of Committees or Delegates, but by de
liberate and overwhelming Meeting of the People,
convened in the manner best calculated to give
weight to its acquisitions. Such step would by
means preclude our Delegates from deferring to
the wishes of minority, however small, of the
Convention, who might desire farther delay, but
every contingency might be expressly provided for
in the instructions given them.


We make these suggestions not unadvisedly
and with single desire that whatever action may
be taken in this quarter with view to the Presi-
Dental question at Syracuse, shall in the first place
carry the full weight of the City, and in the next
be of so defercntial and conciliatory character
that no Wing can take exception to it, even on
prudential grounds.
