The State COnyention—lts Duty
Übe State Central Coln inittee, which
met at Harra.hurg ou the 30th ultimo,
decided to hold the State Convention
for the nomination of Candidate/3 fbr
Co% eitior and Supreme Judge on the
I4th,ot'Joly next.
In this action, we think the cotqmit
ti.e acted wisel, inasmuch as the peo
ple , are thus relieved from undue poli
tical excitement for some time yet to
come. We were njrer an advocate of
long campaigns, and it is a matter not
at 'all without the pale Of argument
hether Sue h lengthy struggles as we
ha e retofore gone thiough are OA
of more harm than good.
4,)% e Ile a short,brisk,earnest campaign,
and better results will follow with half
the trouble
We look e, ith great confidence to the
action of 011 v next State convention.
We to not think any irrharmonions
element Bill ()loam In that body, but
hcheNt , the delegates - will nll go there
/unmated by a noble resolve to sacrifice
the Interests of the few for the benefit
o! the many. The'impression pretty
gtmerall, prevails, we think, through
nut the Democratic party, that the
present is no time to settle old differ-
lice:, or to fix up private matters.
flic politicians, as Nell as the people,
e conic to the conclueion that the
„\t ty,leat battle can only he won by
the Democracy by united and earnest
etrott, and that to this end there must
he no ci oh•pickings either before or
after die contention.
Thin is the btate of feel og that

This is right. We tnuail that, with
all the ailmitiistmtion's blunders at

--A bill ham passed the House of
I tc prcsentatives of this State separating
c ()thee of Register and Recorder, and
pi o‘ idnig that an officer shall be elee
r,..l to fill loch position. This will
1,, ake either office less laborious, and
bspeiwe with the neorosity of euiplop
1,4 a transcribing clerk, and hi the etill
iglu be as profitable to the incumbent
++t hough both offices were filltxl by
Vse bill has nut yet passed the Elien.
Ile, and it iN quite probalge that,it may
defeated; but if it should become a
au beGwe the Legislature adjourns,
.or county convention will have &nomi
nation to make to which we have
ieretofore been unaccustomed. Of
nurse there will be plenty of aspi•
silts; consequently, no anxiety need
e left for the want isf a-candidate.
Connecticut
ct ie undeniable that the result of the
late electjon in Connecticut is not con
soling to The Democracy. And yet,
when we consider the immense efforts
dint were made to carry the State for
the Mulled! candidate an l the vast
amount of greenbacks spent by the ad•
ministration at Washin . gton for that
purpose, we can scarcely keep from
nondering that our defeat was not
much greatef than it is. With all
their efforts, with millions of dollars to
back them, and with the whole influ
ence of the GRANT Milllnlifitr9Lloll ex
erted in their favor, the Radicals of
Connecticut have only succeeded by a
pitiful five hundred majority, scarcely
enough to save JEWELL'S sent to him
in case Gov. ENG I / 4 1SLI were disposed to
pursue the Radical policy of contesting
every position to which tlrey mama
elected.
The vote {rolled in the State this year
is, we believe, about ten thousand less
than was polled lust year. So that the
Democracy have really been defeated
by the inaction and want of zeal of
their own friends. A few more rotes
itould have elcckeil Femimoi in spite of
the tremendous exertions thiil were
made to defeat him, and on the whole,
use do not sure flint the Democracy haul`
anything tr cry over .lEwm.t.'s spec
lion does not really decide any point at
issue, and next year the Democrats,
profiting by tfie experience of tte past.
%%In have an opportunity to NI their
flints and go at them again.

ishes that it was thought impossible to
injure it further, has applied to the
Legislature a this State, though his
lawyers, far n change of venue to Union
county, being afraid to trust his case a
second tune to the hands of an honest
Clinton county jury Ile imagines be
cause Union county is Radial, that
honest jurors will forget their oaths to
