The Democratic County Committee has issued a call for a County Conven tion, to he held in Jacksonville on the same date recommended hy the State Central Committee, at which time eight delegates to the State Conven tion will be chosen and a legislative and county ticket put in the held. It was resolved to do away with holding two conventions, as has been ihwe in the past few years, and issue a fail for one only. The representation has been Increased proportionately, which will make the Convention the largest ever held in the county. This action of the Committee was decided upon after due delilieration and is in accordance with the unanimous desire of every Democrat who has expressed his opinion on the subject. The Democracy should not fail to turn out en masse at the primary meetings and send delegates to the Convention fully impressed with it* Importance and who will do justice to tfoehonor conferred apon them. The pri- maries do not occur until the 23d ol March, and ample notice is given to all to be in attendance. The nomi nation of a good ticket is all that stand* between us and a sweeping victory in Jackson county next June, and thi- devolves upon the delegates sent to the Convention. The duty of Democrats Is therefore apparent. The iuvitation extended by the Committee is liberal, broad and com prehcnsive, and one under which all Democrats can feel perfectly at home. Let the dead past bury itself and let Democrats rally with the determine tiun of rebuking the base fraud con ceived by our Republican enemy which deprived us of our President and in flicted a pretender, who has not the shadow of a right, upon the country. Not only will we thus rebuke the greatest infamy perpetrated upon a free people, but vindicate the immor tal principles of the Democratic patty Entitled to a Position. There is a general acknowledgment among the Democracy of the State that Jackson county is entitled to a position upon the Democratic Stale ticket to be nominated in April next, and the office of Secretary of State seems by general assent to be the one delegated for which we shall name our candidate. It is with pardonable pride that the Democracy of this county accepts thi* expression of gratitude for her stead fastness to Democratic principle, so thoroughly evinced by an increasing majority at each election. We have several available candidates for the po sition, and our delegation may present the name of one of them for considera tion. Be that as it may, the Democracy of Oregon will not look in vain toward Jackson county in June next, for not only will she rollup the largest majority given by any county in the State, but she will also send a solid Democratic delegation to the Legislature to partici pate io the election for Senator.

Since its introduction to the reading public, six years ago, The Ledger has steadily advanced in favor, and is now acknowledged second to no paper of the kind in the country. Its circulation is na tional, and has been obtained through the efforts of its publishers to produce a paper ot high moral character, ami at the same time sell it at a price consistent with the present hard times. That they have suc ceeded, and well, too, the thousands of read ers of The Ledger scattered from Maine to Texas ami from Oregon to Florida will bear testimony. The Chicago I.edger is a large forty-eight column weekly pajier, which contains stories both complete and contin ued, in each number, written by the best authors of the day, and a great variety of in formation interesting to every one. The subscription price of The Ledger is only $1.50 per year, postage paid, and it is equal in every [»articular to other papers of the same character which sell tor $3 a year. Three copies of this valuable paper will be sent to any one who sends 10 cents and their address to The Ledger, Chicago, Ill.
