To preserve our rights, and retain the power
now administered by the democratic party, it IS
necessary that should promptly prepare for
the coming elections. Experience has shown US
that by means of a national convention, our party
can in the most efficient manner select its candi-
dates for President and Vice President Through
out the vast extent of Union there will neces-
sarily be conflicts as to the choice of men-sec-
tional feelings and local preferences These dl'


visions of sentiment will be reconciled by the de-
| Iiberauons of a national convention and, in the


place of dissension, harmony of feeling and
concert Of action suc:ecds-at once the presage


and means Of victory. Similar results will also


attend the nomination Of governor and Lieutenant
governor by the State convention. -. .


In some of the States of the Union, our broth
rem have already held meetings preparatory to the


election in 1s48 Shall the democracy Of the


{" Banner State " hold back In the darkest hour


of our party, Missouri besitaed nor fnltered


but has shown her devotion to democratic princi-
Piles, and her zeal in the cause, by overwhelming


maioritics. Another field Of victory is before US!


Let US then unite organize, and rally to the res


cuel Let the democracy of each county at the


earliest day which may suit their convenience,


hold either meetings in townships OF in mass


and send delegates TO the State convention. The


meeting ofthe Sth January last, after much dis


cussion, liked the day for the convention on the
fourth Monday in March mezt On that day,
then, let US assemble and organize for the canvass
lost BY negligence and apathy, but let us give
force, direction, and success TO our strength, by


union and concert. ..,..g.. .. 81. ..
