the Sth of January-we, the first Monday in December next. Now, 1t must be remer

 bered, that the Helena Journal has adye1'eu

 the first Monday in November; al tiieIe

 arc many again, who would, do,Jtless' pre- fer the 8th of January. Bv hXlng on the First .Monday of .DecemBe, 1t establishes compromise between ,ie advocates of an earlier and later pe-od-giyes time enough 10 discuss fhe neter, and select delegates. On the first Apnday of December, also, the sherilTs are .equired 10 settle with the Auditor of Public Accounts; and as they are gene rall, influential and unwayering democrats, many of them would probably be selected as delegates, if the convention was held al

 that time.

 As a further reason for adhering to the day suggested by us, we beg leave to men tion, that our Senators, in their Western and Northern tour, suggested this. period, and that it was generally acqucsccd in by the people. We entertain hope, that '.Union" and the Arkansas Journal will reconsider the matter as to the time. and lef us aH go for the first Monday m Decsmber. We are the more earnest in this hope, when we re- fleet, that a disagreement as 10 time, compar- atively unimportant, further than that cer- tain day should be designated, lhay be fatal to a convention; since, to have but partial representation, would be worse than to have no convention at all besides the fact, that the time proposed by Us $ ample for action, but loo short for useless discussions in settling point ot time.

 We again repeat, let us all unite on the FlRsT MONDAY OF DECEMBER NEXT, AS THE TIME FOR HOLDING THE CONVENTION; :; let Us all advocate the measure, warmly and constantly; contend, shoulder to shoulder, against ourunscrupulous opponents-grapple with federalism on every occasion-keep down divisions in our own ranks-expose those who would SOW dissensons among Us. and let this convention, which will be the first one i'll the State, be full as to numbers harmonious in spirit, and its influence will be as tower of strength, that cannot be oyerthrown. Let every true democrat ad- monish his friends and his neighbors. that our Government Is founded on democratic principles, and that it requires union and vigilance to preserve it.
