Next Monday.

--As the day of election for delegates to the Convention draws near, the various candidates and their particular friends are bestirring themselves actively. The people regard it with much deeper interest than they exhibit in an ordinary political canvass, and few men will give a pledge to any one's support without cool and calm reflection. It is for this reason that sober reason has taken the place of the boisterous excitement that usually prevails in the streets on the eve of an election. Everybody knows that on its result depends the decision of a momentous question, which affects not the present alone, but all succeeding generations.
