NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CONVEN-
TION

So far as we have received information,
Delegates have been chosen from moat of
the towns throughout the State, to attend
the Convention which is to assemble in this
town Tomorrow, and there are indications
that they will almost universally attend to
the duties imposed upon them by the ap-
pointment. Indeed the best spirit seems to
prevail in the community, from which we
augur the most favorable results. A large
number of the Delegates arrived in town
yesterday, having anticipated, by one day,
the time of their meeting, for the purpose
of attending our Cattle Show.
Arrangements have been made for the
meetings Of the Convention in the South
Meeting House, which affords mole extern
sive accommodations for such purposes than
any other building in town. Many specta-
tors will doubtless attend the sittings, at
tracted 10y the reputation of some Of the
Delegates. Among those who, it is now
ascertained. will be present, we may name
Daniel Webster, Nathaniel Sisbee, Ed
ward Everett, Leverett Saltonstall, James
n. Austin, George Blake, and, most proba-
bly,, William Sullivan, Rufus Choate, Isaac
C. Bates, Caleb Gushing, and Henry Shaw.
The following are the Delegates to the
Convention, Cor this County, except those
already published, so far as we have receiv-
ed their names. The accounts of the pro-
ceedings of meetings at which they were
appointed would occupy more room than we
have to spare.

MORE SEcEssIoNs. On the lst inst the
Philadelphia Gazette, one of the earliest
and steadiest supporters Of Gen. Jackson,
pulled down the "red ink" flag and run up
that Of Clay, Sergeant, and the Consti!u-
tion." The editor says he does this in &C
cordance with public sentiment, "recent
circumstances having proved too conclusive
ly for denial" that the course of the paper
was constantly conflicting with the inter
ests and predictions of its supporters"
Having ascertained the change of senti-
ment, and the wishes of his patrons, the
editor says, it shall be his constant aim TO
comply with those wishes, especially as he
is convinced of their foundation IN rea-
