 As has been already announced, and.gene- rally understood, State Convention, compo- sed of delegates from the several counties. will assemble in this city, on Monday next, the 4th instant.

 This Convention will convene for the pur- pose of nominating candidate for the office of Governor, a candidate to represent the people of this State in the Congress of the United States, and three Electors for President and Vices President of the United States and to appoint delegates to represent the State in the Democratic National Convention. which will assemble at Baltimore, in May next

 These objects are of great interest and im- portance to the State; and we hope and be- lieve that the lahors of the Convention to ac- complish them, ill. manner honorable and satisfactory to all concerned, will be crowned with intire success. We hope so, because the welfare of our State, and of our party, require t; and we believe so, because we have confidence iii the wisdom and virtue of the men who will compose the Convention.

 In addition to these objects, it is expected and believed, that the Convention will con- sider, and recommend, some measures for general organization of the democratic party, throughout the State; for, without something of the kind, 1t is almost impossible to keep the party lines distinctly drawn, exclude pre- tenders from our ranks, repress the mischiev- ous propensities of disorganizers, and insure that harmonious cooperation of real friends, so necessary to the welfare of any good cause.

 It is not our province, nor would it be- come us, to offer any suggestions, as to what the course of the Convention should be, in relation to any of it's duties nor is it neces- sary. The members of the Convention have age, wisdom, and experience, far greater than any we could bring to their aid and, more- over, they have been faithful servants of the State, and are tried friends of the people, They know their duty, and will perform it. We shall accept the result of their labors, as the offering of patriotism at the shrine of our country's welfare; and feel sure it will be so accepted by every true Democrat in the State So accepting it, let all unite, in cordial co-op- eraton, as band of brothers, to second it's views, and do all that 1t recommends.

 Some of the remote counties have not ap- pointed delegates, in consequence of not learning of the time, until it was too late to act in the matter. Intelligence received from them, however, assures us that they will acquiesce in all that may be done by the Convention

 The recent heavy rains, and snow, having raised the water courses, and rendered the roads almost impossible, will, perhaps, pre- vent the arrival of few of the more distant delegates. Enough will come, however, to represent well the wishes of the Democracy of Arkansas.

 We are informed that the Convention will hold it's meetings in the Presbyterian Church; the use of that building having been kindly allowed, for the purpose.

 A few of the delegates have already reach ed the city
